Movie Review: Your Place or Mine?

From the same producer who gave you the blockbuster hits “Diary ngPanget” and “Talk Back and You’reDead” comes another popular Wattpad story   Your Place or Mine? The movie is based on the best-selling novel of the same title by Turning Japanese and is ably directed by award-winning Joel Lamangan.

Haley Saavedra, who gets drunk in a bar and sleeps with a stranger, Clay Russell Sandoval , in the latter’s posh condo unit. They unexpectedly bump into each other in school days after that one-night stand and the meeting leaves them wanting for  more. By some stroke of fate, Haley’s dad, whose business is down in debt, arranges for his daughters fixed marriage.  Haley is relieved to learn in a supposed “family business meeting” that the fiancé she’s about to meet is Russell. Their engagement gives way for them to know more about each other.  But as the story goes, shocking revelations start to unfold. 

The concept of expressing teen angst in the form of a wattpad story is original and the combination of 3 lead stars Andi, Bret and Andre are matched to the movie. The way the story was set up and the buildup of the romance was well executed and interesting despite of lot of layers in the story. The vivid cinematography and glossinesses of the film add ecstatic mood and elements that is commendable to this film. I think the film will also be loved by the teen agers especially girls because a new hunk is born in the presence of Bret Jackson as he has a potential of the next leading man to be groomed by Viva Films. His chemistry to Andi Eigenman as well is undeniable and they have the fair share of kilig moments in the film. Andre Paras on the other hand showcase his serious side in this film as a secret admirer to Andi. Over all the film is a fairly made young adult flick that's aimed for teen girls, with cinematography and performances palatable for all kind of audience.
