Movie Review: Maybe This Time


The film tells us a story of summer romance that wasn’t blossom but eventually the two lovers meet again and rekindle their romance. It cannot be denied that there is chemistry between Sarah and Coco in this film and both of them are good actors. That’s why it’s easily for them to capture their character in the film.
You can see different Coco Martin here that you usually seen as a serious actor in a TV series but this time he will show you his funny side. Bumagay kay Coco ang kanyang character bilang isang probinsyanong jologs. As for Sarah Geronimo’s character as Teptep/ Stephanie it is at far different from her previous films as she toned down here her comics antic that we usually see on her romcom films . Mas makakatotohanan ang kanyang pinoportray na character here at mas malapit sa tunay na buhay ang problemang kanyang hinaharap rito.


Story wise of the film yeah its common. Predictability of the story is evidently seen in the film. For the screenplay it lacks coherence and smoothness all throughout the film. Entertainment value, check na check because of the character of Ogie Diaz and Ruffa Gutierez. I found Ruffa entertaining here in some of the scenes at bumagay sa kanya yung role. As it is lang yung sosyal na maarte na babae. Nakakaaliw yung character ni Ogie rito laking tulong niya sa pelikula. Good thing that Sharmaine Buencamino portray as mother of Sarah here na somehow nakapag paaliwalas sa akin while watching the film. Kilig factor of the film of course check na check dahil sa mga pacute moves ni Coco na patok na patok sa masa. Ok yung DOP sa mga provincial scenes as they well capture the beauty and nature of the place. They let us feel it through their shot that I think they utilize well dolly because puro wide shot siya at ang tataas pa ng angle ng camera.


Gusto gusto ko yung mga eksena nina Ruffa and Sarah na lumalabas talaga yung character nila si Ruffa bilang malditang boss at si Sarah na underdog employee. Their confrontation scene is something to look forward in the film because of Sarah’s strong words that I am surprised that she delivered. Over all I have a mix reaction for the film and it does not meet my high expectation from the trailer. Though for sure benta pa rin sa masa itong pelikula. I think they can gross 180-200 million. Kung gusto niyong kiligin at iexperience ang valentine ngayung summer this film is good catch to watch.









My Verdict:  3/5
