Wild Little Love

A rich girl meets a poor boy, definitely not new, but this movie is crafty. It makes you rethink,reminisce, and relate. Even thou you're sure you knew what was going to happen next it glues you until the end. The portrayals were slick and positive, and the delivery of the dialogue somehow makes the tacky lines not so tacky at all.

No Philippine local teen film has caught my attention lately than that of Benedict Mique's Wild Little Love. The first movie team up of Seth Fedelin and Andrea Brillantes.

The location was picked for a reason, to make the movie relatable, and this objective was well achieved! Despite of an over-used "map" it took an astonishing new turn.

The love story of Jake and Sam, was shortly depicted but was clear and evident on their scenes together, their conversations will give you "butterflies" but at the same time, touching and mature, it makes Seth and Andrea's love team skipped that "tweetums stage" and it gives the film so much uniqueness and character. Their performances were very good, Sam is misunderstood, but strong and determined all were shown by Andrea's portrayal. Jake was street smart, down to earth, but with a good attitude brought about by his Father, all evident in Seth's eyes. The supporting characters are also note worthy.

In the end, all were given resolutions and just the right scene that leaves you wanting and looking forward for more.

Yes the story is too fast. There's no build up about Sam (Andrea) and Jake's (Seth) relationship. I think the writer just pushed the 'kilig' ending just to have a 'kilig' ending for the fans. And I have to admit it, I felt the kilig vibe.

And I have to be honest the story is too typical, very predictable. Every twist in the story is very predictable. But this is not a bad movie, it is just the story is so overdone.

Andrea's acting here is great, and it makes sense because she's been acting for a long time. While Seth's acting here is not enough for me especially to his emotional scenes. Regardless, SethDrea's chemistry is undeniably good.

Watching the first 15 minutes of the film, I already know the plot. The storyline is not original and is a typical story that was done over and over again. There was nothing new about it. Very disappointed and I did not enjoy it. A waste of great talents such as Carmina Villaroel.

Wild Little Love premiered on TV and i end up watching it on iwant for the uncut version. These were the kinds of movie where you don't like the story BUT because of its execution you cannot rate it low.

You would not be impressed by the story, but u would be satisfied by the all the other elements of the film. The script, the scenes that would play right on your emotions, the music and the acting, like what i said, it was greatly executed.

The film banked on Seth Fedelins and Andrea Brillantes' chemistry, it was really showcased in the film and it works, plus Andrea's flawless portrayal, she carried the movie in her shoulders.
