You Again (2010)

Watching You Again brings me back to the times of watching Desperadas Parts 1 & 2 where good and able actors act desperately to save a desperate film. The concept was good enough, but it wasn't backed up by a good script. They had to rely on poorly-written antics and jokes that bordered on slapstick most of the times. Further, its heart was not in the right place. When the characters tried to make amends at the end, you'd barely feel for them. Even the main bully (Odette Yustman) in the film didn't know where to place herself properly. She seems to be suffering from split-personality wherein she goes back and forth into being a good person and a bully.

The last scene, though, between Betty White's and Cloris Leachman's characters were more interesting than the rest of the film. Too bad that it was just part of the epilogue. They had better lines than the main characters.

Olivia Lamasan's In the Name of Love (2011, Trailer)

I am not loving the trailer. Parang TH mag-elicit ng tamang reaction sa audience. It's too melodramatic for my taste. If not because it was an Olivia Lamasan film, I would totally lose all hope on the film. But because of her, I still have my reservations on it. Pero andu'n ang dating sa akin na parang basta lang maipalabas ang pelikula kaya ito tinapos.

Aga Muchlach looks old and tired. He has been doing the same roles over and over again and has the same exact look in his eyes in every film! After Sa Aking Mga Kamay, he has never done any anti-Aga role. Kulayan man niya ng jejemon color ang buhok niya, siya pa rin si pa-tweetums Aga since Bagets days.

Angel Locsin looks plump and uninspired. Walang buhay ang kanyang mga mata.

Jake Cuenca looks misplaced.

I wish I am wrong. We have yet to see the film on May 11. Pero sana lang, lagyan naman ng buhay ang trailer. Ang luma-luma, eh.
