Silly Red Shoes

I rated this by comparison to other local teen romcoms. This movie didn't try too hard. It has fantasy/myth, but doesn't rub it in your face that gets annoying sometimes.

Like other romcoms, it has "kilig" scenes and a happy montage, but it didn't feel forced and unrealistic. Somehow, the whole thing actually fits the actors' age, also the target audiences'. It was grounded and very subtle.

Overall, Silly Red Shoes is a gem of a mainstream Filipino film.

Chin is really a good actress, I hope she get a lot of project. I love chin!

Silly Red Shoes is a story based on a legend of Princess Lily, which live on its title "silly" legend, a twisted modern Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast combined. It radiates a tender feeling, a quest on something you thought you don't have or you can't but turns out you can and you have.

The story centers on familial love rather than teen romance, if it what you expected then it's certainly not. The main actors are good but they were overshadowed by the intensity of the roles of the supporting characters, I wished Chuck and Ashley were given a chance of a pivotal scene on their own. Chuck and Ashley's story is just a background. No hint of teen love and the interactions were too weak if not insignificant to give the actors a chance to show their on-screen partnership, by what's given to them you can loosely judge if they even have chemistry. The ending was also abrupt, the legend was justified but it lacks a closing scene on supposedly Ashley's shoes or feet redemption.

All in all its cinematography is the main savior, it's not a teen love story but story good enough for a Father's Day Special.

In this series, You will learn to fight and being determined to achieve your goal. You will learn to forgive and understand the value of strong family relationship that whatever happens in the past, Family is still our foundation. At the end of the day, You'll realized that Love for Family is more important.

Kyle Echarri, Francine Diaz together with the whole casts y'all are amazing in portraying each of your roles. I really felt the emotions.

This movie is perfect topic to do some reflection letter for students because of the lessons that every viewers learned from it.

Kudos, To the whole team, directors, casts of Silly Red Shoes! Great Movie Indeed.

These two amazing Young Loveteam (KyCine) has so much potential to offer. Looking forward to watch them again together in another project..
