Vince & Kath & James - Tagalog
This film is proof that it's still possible to make a quality rom-com in today's local film landscape. With its three-dimensional characters and believable relationships, Vince & Kath & James becomes a delightful viewing experience reminding us what it's like to be young and hopeful for love. It has the rom-com tropes down-pat, even Star Cinema's obligatory Mommy Issues, but the movie uses them to enhance the emotional richness in tackling its theme. This makes me very optimistic about the future of Philippine mainstream cinema.
luh sinong tanga yung kinikilig kasi may gimik na naman joshlia..... malamang ako
A wonderful film that surprises you despite it's inherently formulaic plot. It succeeds mostly because of the charming portrayals of young love in the millennial age. The film is largely anchored by the charismatic performance by the two-thirds of triangle, Julia Barreto and Joshua Garcia, who convey well-rounded characters. I love the callback to a certain romantic film which starred Julia's aunt. It was such a witty move to use that particular scene echoing the scene in the movie.
Seen at the Metro Manila Film Festival. Long PG-13 (there should only be one "fuck" in this piece) review again. This review is such a mess but I am legitimately at a loss for words
Watching this film was legitimately the most pleasant cinema experience I've had in a very long time. I'm not even kidding. It pains me to rate this film this low because this is probably one of the most enjoyable viewings I've ever had. Before I actually get into talking about the film, I'll set aside some things that irked me (will talk about major issues later).
- ""fake"" rape scene. what the fuck [there it is]
- this is totally minor but Joshua Garcia is…
Joshua Garcia mahal na mahal na mahal na mahal kita and I’m so so so sorry you had to share top billing with Ronnie Alonte who can’t even make a lead role work without taking his shirt off.
been able to appreciate more julia in this film but joshua was the literal stand out
It has a very dated presentation of gender roles and dynamics - dated even for 2016, but shows a clear, emphatic eye towards the familial redemption arc of Vince and Kath's families. The way it captures teenage romantic longing via text has a contagious joy, which Garcia and Barretto do well at even though the banter written for them sometimes borders on needlessly misogynistic.
The Got 2 Believe scene is an absolutely great highlight, profound on so many levels, and if this whole movie was just an excuse to put those few minutes on screen then at least it serves as the perfect center tying scenes with various degrees of success together.
I'm SO late to this film!!!!????
I like it. It's a typical feel-good, kilig film but was done right. Julia and Joshua's chemistry is just wow. Their acting feels so natural too. No wonder their love-team took off.
Also, I laughed so hard at Maris lmao she nailed her role.
