That Kind of Love

Thought this was a very slow romance story; I would call it a "nice" romance story but not necessarily a rom-com as others are describing it. I didn't see any real funny parts in it. The story has a small bit of tension in it as another girl enters the scene to disrupt the flow but we all know from the very beginning how this is going to end anyway because it is so predictable that the tension added doesn't mean a thing. The male lead is cast perfect and the arrogance was played perfectly. IMO the casting for FL could have been better as I didn't see the chemistry that much on her side. The ending is a fairytale.

The movie is feel good, funny and heartwarming at the same time. Barbie Forteza and David Licauco's chemistry is top-notched. From the moment they've met at the bar, the viewers can feel the intensity of the attraction between the two of them. It's rare for two individuals to have that much of a chemistry and compatibility even though they are not "together" in real life. Effortless, I may say. Barbie is a great actress, no doubt, David on the other hand, has this certain charisma that make your eyes glued on the screen. His eyes, facial expressions, conveyed the right emotions, with or without dialogues.

The supporting cast are also great, especially Divine. CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH AT HER ANTICS. The screenplay, Cinematography are superb, technicality-wise.

Over-all That Kind of Love deserves all the praises. Hoping more people would watch the film.

I think most of the reviews on here are really just automated from chat-gpt bs to fluff up it's ratings; they definitely didn't watch the same movie I watched.

The story was a failed attempt to copy the movie "hitch", a big city dating coach with a heart of gold falls for a jaded person who is out of their reach but gets them in the end, but only after nearly giving up and packing their bags to leave in defeat over a misunderstanding.

The acting was awful on the lead male, The girls all say he's perfect in everything, even in bed, and he's as boring as cardboard. All he has is the veneer of money, which, doesn't cover up his toneless lack of charm.

The storyline was flat and a toddler could guess the lines and cues.

Female lead did better but couldn't un-sink the ship

The end was too dumb and childish to comprehend... He flew everyone out to Korea to ask her to be his girlfriend? What?? So dumb I'm stupider now for watching this, I blame my wife, lol!

I only ever watch one local movie on repeat and that's Rico and Claudine's Got 2 Believe. I watched this movie 3 times already after its debut on Netflix.

This is a feel-good movie, something light yet thoughtful and poignant without coming across as preachy. I particularly like the natural banter and the seamless back and forth of Barbie and David, the expressive eyes, sexual tension and natural closeness - as if they were having irl convos and we're all peeping into their private world.

Highly recommended for people who wants to be entertained and end up falling in love after watching. Something you should pop up on your screen when stressed and looking for something to cheer you up.
