Love Me Again (Land Down Under) is coming of the heels of pretty successful romantic movies from Star Cinema, the studio behind hits For the First Time and A Very Special Love. How does it fare?
To be blunt: It fares POORLY.
Tell me if you find something new in this concept: The film is about the story of Arah (Angel Locsin) and Migo (Piolo Pascual), erstwhile lovers who met and fell in love in the Philippine province of Bukidnon. The couple rekindled their romance when Migo came back to Bukidnon to be a cowboy and run their family's ranch, but it was cut short when Arah was forced to go to Australia (hence the title) to work as a cook. The romantic angle was revisited again when Migo tries to win Arah back from the new world she joined.
The film is very predictable and bland for a romance. Heck, the story seemed to be taken out of the Soap Opera/Telenovela Writing Handbook as cliches were abound. It was boring to the point that I fell asleep.
Love Me Again (Land Down Under) sounds like a weird plea from a movie that I never got to love.
Rating: 1/5
yeah..ordinary story but they were able to portray it extra-ordinary..read the reviews of the movies..everybody loves..and plus what makes the movie special???it is realistic..it really happens in real life..I can relate on it personally..we are waiting for the showing here in Toronto..me together with my friends has already set up a group date on Feb. 16 to watch this movie..If I were only in the Philippines, I will definitely watch it on the first day
ReplyDeletetry to watch one true love and compare the strory/ plot. lets forget the network rivalry and focus on the story perse. you'll be amazed of the story dude...
ReplyDeleteif you'll compare this movie to one true love, for the first time and when love begins... Love me again is definitely the winner!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone,
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry but I think this film is not great. If you want realism, try Milan starring Piolo Pascual and Claudine Barretto.
Acting-wise, Love me Again is better than For the First Time, but story-wise, it's less interesting and too melodramatic.
I dont find FOr the First Time movie interesting..I only love the KC and Richard tandemn but I find the story boring..Specially the ex's gathering..that idea is stupid,,About One True Love, I dont like it, really..I already watched movies and shows with amnesia thing and love wil be the "medicine" to bring back the memory?? The idea is already overused from the past decades until now..The movie I find Love Me Again rival is A Very Special Love..Its really nice..but in different genre,,romantic comedy & romantic drama..but love them both..All in all I love both Love Me Again and A Very Special Love..
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that there's nothing special about the piolo-angel movie. Of course, fans would brag that the movie was great but for people who are neither pro-angel or pro-piolo, so-so lang yung movie. It's dragging. My dad fell asleep while watching the movie.
ReplyDeleteA very special love is definitely better than LMA. It was reported that the production cost of LMA reached 80M and i wouldn't be surprised if magbreak-even lang yung movie. I was in trinoma last weekend and Megamall last weekeend and to tell you frankly, ang konti lang ng tao who went inside the cinema. When i saw the sarah-jlc movie, jampacked sa pila and puno sa loob ng sinehan even if sa 2nd week na ako nanood.
THE CHEMISTRY OF ANGEL LOCSIN AND PIOLO PASCUAL IS PHENOMENAL, AMAZING, EXCITING, KILIG TO THE BONES. THE MOST EXCELLENT ACTORS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND NUMBER ONE FILIPINO MOVIE (LOVE ME AGAIN).
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anonymous 5: A Very Special Love is waaaay better.
ReplyDeleteahmm,hello..first, i dont have anything against piolo and angel..in fact, i like them...but, honestly speaking, the movie itself is _____...just that, blank..yes, all of the actors were great..but something's lacking in the story...it's somewhat empty...you know, let's face it..after you watched it and get to digest the whole film, you'll feel something's missing..it's like you're staring at the screen but you see nothing..you can't feel it..well, ahmmm, hehehe..just that..
ReplyDeleteAng ganda ng movie "Love Me Again" napanood ko dito sa
ReplyDeleteCanada. Ang chemistry ni
Piolo at Angel at super talaga. Lahat ng nanood dito sa Canada ay nagandahan. Hindi ako mahilig sa movie pero si Piolo at Angel ay gustong-gusto namin dito sa Canada.
Piolo and Angel keep up the good work!!! WE LOVE U.....
The movie is a drama. It is something that people can relate to. It's just that more Filipino movie goers would like a light comedy type of film rather than dramas because they see that every day in teleseryes.
