Movie No. 27 (2016): A SECOND CHANCE
A Second Chance (2015)
Director: Cathy Garcia Molina
Cast: John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, Dimples Romana, James Blanco, Bea Saw, Ahron Villena
In Tagalog, with English subtitles
The movie is the sequel of the well-loved love story of Popoy and Basha in One More Chance. Now, Popoy and Bash are married. The movie is an attempt to take a closer look at the issues in the marriage life of the so called millenials. The narrative, however, suggests that their problems are not unique. But what makes the movie work is our familiarity with the characters. While one flaw of the movie is too much focus on the two characters, that aspect is also its strong point. John Lloyd Cruz gives a consistent characterization of the Popoy character. Bea Alonzo easily complements it. This may not be one great movie about the theme, it is, however, a cut above the usual commercial movies that local studios make.
