Jess (Pepe), a 33 year old Valet Parking Attendant at The Manila Hotel, an honest man and most of all, a virgin. He promised himself that he will only give himself when he already found his true love.
Veronica, (played by Ritz), is a kept woman in the high society world. A victim of circumstances, but still a survivor.
Jess meets Veronica at the hotel bar. Instantly, he gets mesmerized by her presence. One thing lead to another, and Veronica gave Jess the “first time”. Jess, believing in the magic of what happened between them, decides that Veronica is his one true love.
However, there is one problem; Veronica has no idea that he is not rich. Afraid that revealing himself will make him lose Veronica, Jess starts to pretend the part. He kept on doing this until his resources spill away. The inevitable happens, and Veronica learns the truth about Jess.
With a talented cast turned loose on this naughty comedy flick, The Hopeful Romantic is definitely riot film that you will surely enjoy. It is a sharp adult comedy that earns genuine laughs without going lowbrow or diving into raunchy humor. The combination of Pepe Herrera and Ritz Azul is a delight to watch bringing out the best towards each other. Pepe really has a good timing in comedy and Ritz been able to synchronize her energy and craziness towards Pepe. The Hopeful Romantic is a hilarious comedy to watch with friends. Sharp, fun, effective cast and genuinely witty. The Hopeful Romantic opens in cinemas starting Sept 12 2018.
My Verdict: 3.5/5
