Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat

3/5 stars

It's undeniably the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival's top grosser. It'll be so outdated of you to not watch it among the entries this year. To be perfectly honest, in my own personal opinion, only two films among the entries are worth watching for, this one and Viva Film's Baler.

Together with my mom and sister, I went and watch at Gateway Cineplex a day before New Year's Eve. We opted for the 7pm screening. There was a long line outside Cinema 5 as the theater was still being prepared. While waiting to get in, I thought about how I'm going to review this movie. I felt that it would be unfair if I'm going to be very critical about the movie. After all, its kind of comedy is catered to the lower classes of the society; therefore, one shouldn't expect a humor where thinking is still an utmost importance.

The first Tanging Ina movie in 2003 break a lot of records. This is probably the reason why Director Wenn Deramas and scriptwriter Mel del Rosario stick with the old formula they used in 2003 that made Tanging Ina an all-time box office hit.

This sequel picks up a few years after the first one. Some of her children who can't be in the movie were told to have made lives of their own. Ina and best friend Rowena after being in and out of different jobs took a work at the Malacañang Palace as maids. Events happened and Ina accidentally overhears the assassination plot by the vice-president to kill the president. When the president dies, Ina confided the truth and was challenged by the vice-president to a snap election. Eventually, Ina wins and she's now faced to be the mother not only to her children but also to the entire nation.

The script was a classic Mel del Rosario. Ok but then again a couple of corny, just-to-get-it-over with jokes/lines were all over the film. But since this movie was not an award winning one and was just intended to sell and entertain, flaws in the script were all forgivable.

Direction was again a classic Wenn Deramas. He's not much of a visual storyteller. There were a lot of hurried sequences, thus, the film's narrative was half-baked. Resolution if there really was sucked big time. Balancing the heavy comedy of the film with predictable family drama was a brilliant idea but it wasn't carried out very well. As a matter of fact, a lot of these drama scenes were tedious. The problem I guess was because it undermines the movie's tone that the director already set.

The movie's real gem is its casts. Ai Ai was great in her role as Ina. She showed versatility that she's not only the queen of comedy but also, as powerful as she is in that field, she's also an equally talented drama actress. She can be a caricature to make her audience burst with laughter but she can also pull off a crying scene, showing that how funny she maybe, she also has a heart, able to give unconditional love, accept failure and mistakes.

No questions asked. No second thoughts. EUGENE DOMINGO is the best on what she does. She's not just talented; she really has a gift of humor.

This movie wasn't at all a candidate for 5 or even 4 stars but this is one of the perfect movies to end your year with. It's the kind of movie that will entertain you to the core of your bones. It will make you forget even just for an hour and 50 minutes or so. It will make you just laugh out the year that you just had. I say this movie is still worth every centavo you're going to spend if you just want to sit back and laugh laugh laugh. And also, this movie doesn't pretend. From the title alone, you'll know how this movie was intended for. No unforgettable lines, no remarkable scenes, just wonderful performances from the actors enough for you to enjoy.

Twilight

3/5 stars

I love reading books and it usually excites me every time a book I really love will be adapted into a motion picture. But over the years, I have learned to lower my standards for me not to get disappointed when I watch the movie. Most of the time, adaptations of a novel into a major motion picture weren’t so good and very few are successful ones that has the moviegoers asking for more.

There was an enormous hype for Twilight. Why not? The novel from which it’s based is undeniably a bestseller, its soundtrack debut at the top spot when it was released so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s now number one in the box office. I’ve already anticipated that fans will flock theaters as soon as the movie hit cinemas that’s why I already reserved a ticket for its 1st day, 1st screening at Gateway Cineplex 10. It was the first screening but all the tickets were sold out! Very very promising…

Supposedly, I’ll be giving credit to Director Catherine Hardwicke for I know how hard it is to squeeze in a 498-pages novel into a 2 hours film but to be honest, she didn’t do a great job. As well as the screenwriter who sucked big time in her job. In adapting novels like Twilight in a major motion picture, one of the crucial parts if not the most, is the point when you have to choose what are the particularly important scenes from the book that should be in the film. Aside from the nonsense add-ons they included in the story, the biggest problem of this Twilight adaptation resides on the wrong selection of scenes. Hardwicke wasn’t considerate at all those who didn’t read the novel. There are just so many missing details that were pivotal in making the movie more coherent. In film school, they (we), call it Inciting Incidents and this movie failed in pinpointing those turning points in the book. There were so many beautiful and more important scenes in the book that should’ve been in the movie instead of adding ridiculous scenes that were totally not in the book. In my opinion, the unnecessary alterations they made with parts of the story just made it confusing and jumbled!

Twilight was filmed in low budget that’s probably the reason for this “jumping rope” game with the adaptation but seriously, failing to include Bella and Edward’s conversation in the book why in the very first place, TWILIGHT is its title, is simply unforgivable in the part of the Director and Screenwriter! OMG! And what’s with the movie’s ending? What the heck?! Victoria?

The Port Angeles and the Prom scenes were two of the best moments in the book but were totally depicted in a very horrible way! I was grumping with displeasure in my seat while watching it! I was really like, DUH!!! If only Hardwicke was able to craft it the way it was told in the book, Twilight would have been the best movie of this year. The way they were depicted in the film, they were not half as much the kilig feeling they should exude. Though the Director and Screenwriter’s work wasn’t favorable at all, Cinematographer Elliot Davis did a pretty well job. He should be given enough credit for a very beautiful lighting and over all look of the motion picture. It was simply fabulous!

Also, I need to commend the actors for portraying their characters very well especially Kristen and Robert. Stewart was great in her acting especially the scene when James (the bad vampire) bit her. Pattinson was perfect for the character of Edward Cullen in all aspects! He’s a GOD! Oh so HOT! Just like Edward, sometimes he doesn’t need to speak for you to get weak. Just by looking at his facial expressions or far worst his eyes…shucks! I literally wanted to melt in the freezing theater of Gateway while watching Twilight. His voice…his accent…is heaven! Robert Pattinson can definitely send you to your wildest orgasmic mode!

Tyler Lautner as Jacob Black is a big NO-NO! What on earth could have they been thinking casting him as Jacob??? I wonder how the adaptation for New Moon will be under this mistake.

With very disappointing reviews about Twilight, in my honest opinion, it’s still worth the 180 bucks you’re gonna spend. There may be major flaws with how Twilight was adapted into a major motion picture but still, it has this charismatic effect that wouldn’t make you feel as if you’ve wasted your money as well as your time. If you’ve read the book, just try not to compare its story with the movie. If you haven’t read the book, I couldn’t care less, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the movie. Expectations for Twilight were just too high so I suggest keeping in mind, DON’T EXPECT TOO MUCH. Though Catherine Hardwicke ruined the story, Twilight still has the magic to captivate you, make you hope for someone like Edward, and most importantly, the movie can still convince you that in this lifetime, LOVE CAN STILL CONQUER ALL amidst any situation, whoever that person may be.

And after all, don’t let the opportunity to see Robert Pattinson as EDWARD CULLEN in the big screen. HE’s worth every peso you’re going to spend on Twilight!

I've got just 2 days to live...

That was the doctor's diagnosis. He said there's some kind of over production in my hormone levels and that he can't believe I'm still alive. I was steady as stone for a while, devastated and couldn't possibly imagine how on earth can I squeeze in 48 hours all the things that I still wanna do. This was the scenario in my dream last night. It was so real that I'm even surprised that I'm still alive when I woke up.

Like I always do everyday, I hit the the shower right after I got out of bed and today while taking a bath I got into thinking, what if my dream was real and it'll really happen? Will the ending of my life be as emotional as it was in my dream? Is that how I want my life to end?

And so I asked myself while dressing up, if God will tell me when exactly he's gonna ask for my life, what are the things that I'm gonna do?

If I just have 48 hours to live here on earth, what are the things I'm gonna do? Who are the people I'm going to talk to in the last few hours of my life? Who'll be the first one I'm gonna say goodbye to and who'll be the last? Will I spend the time left for me in mourning or will I spend it doing the things I've always wanted to do but felt too afraid to try? Am I going to countdown till my last breath still restaurant hopping and eating all the foods I will no longer taste after I die or will I fuck around and have sex for all I want since I'll be dying in a few hours why give a damn about it right? Do I want to die with people around me seeing how I run after my last breath or would I prefer to just be mum about the fact that I'm going to die and spend my last few minutes inside my bedroom alone?

These questions can go on and on and on but there's one universal truth amidst all this and it's the fact that we're all going to die but the question is when...

I am now reading Paulo Coelho's, "The Zahir" and one of my favorite quote in the book is the one where he talked about death. Here it is, "...we're always at war. We're at war with death, and we know that death will win in the end. In armed conflicts, this is simply more obvious, but the same thing happens in daily life. We can't allow ourselves the luxury of being unhappy all the time." These past few days, I have been thinking a lot about things and I won't deny that most of them depresses me. But after having dreamt of this scenario last night, I asked myself if this is how I would want to spend my life, worrying about this and that when I have a lot to be thankful for with my now. I realized that worrying a lot deprives us of living our everyday to the fullest. Worrying makes us limit our happiness which in turn makes us waste a lot of our life's precious and limited time on earth.

I think I have waste a lot already in my lifetime and as my life's clock continues to tick and tock to the "big day", I wanna spend my life more without regrets. I wanna be able to face God someday with a smile on my face knowing that I was able to do what I wanna do in the lifetime he gave me. I wanna be able to tell him that I was content and happy with how I lived my life. And I know that the only way to achieve this and start living your best life is through a mantra Kris Aquino shared a few days ago in her fantxt, Past is out, Present is in, Future is clear. To be able to live our lives to the fullest we should really put our PAST behind us, we must live, be the best that we can be and make the most out of our PRESENT and leave our FUTURE to the all mighty for it is still waiting to be done. Its outcome, however, depends on how we live today.

21 Things I’m looking forward to do now that I’m 21

It has been a year and almost two months since my last blog post. Those 13 months (July07-August08) of my life can be best described as a total roller coaster experience. Those subscribed to my fantxt knows this. I have been up and down. I have fallen in and out of love. I have triumphed and failed. A lot has changed in my life since July of last year and I believe as time pass by, I have also evolved and matured in so many ways.

I celebrated my 21st Birthday last Friday. Now that I’m 21, I can say that there are a lot that I want to accomplish in this lifetime. There are so many things I wanna do, I wanna change, and above all, I wanna prioritize. So as I turn another year older, I want to share with everyone THE 21 THINGS I AM HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH NOW THAT I’M 21.


1 I’m going to maintain my current physique. I would say that 2007 was my fattest year to date. I don’t know if I was just stressed out that time and I resorted in eating to cope up or I just simply want to eat. When I started writing my thesis early this year, I started losing weight also. By the time I finished my thesis, I went from 147 lbs. to my current weight now which is 130 lbs. Though it is not easy, I will continue on my diet to maintain this. It’s not easy to lose weight especially if you love to eat but if you look in the mirror and see the change, it’s all worth it!

2 I’ll indulge myself to reading. I’ve been very busy with my studies during the past 13 months that I have deprived myself of leisure reading. Last July when we moved to a new house, I’ve realized how many books I have horded already so now that I still don’t have work and I have the time to read, I’ll read them one by one. Some of the titles that I’m going to read in the coming months are: Paulo Coelho’s The Witch of Portobello, The Devil and Miss Prym, Like The Flowing River, The Zahir; The Death of an Ordinary Man (Glen Duncan); Orosa-Nakpil Malate (Louie Mar Gangcuangco); James Patterson’s Mary Mary, Honeymoon, The 5th Horseman; Candace Bushnell’s Sex and the City; and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ “Love in the Time of Cholera”.

3 I will now read the entire Harry Potter series before watching all the movies.

I will also read the latest craze among book readers, Stephanie Mayer’s Twilight saga. My best friend Reese said it’s a true guilty pleasure and so I’m really excited to finally meet Edward Cullen.

4 I will pay tribute to Dr. Jose Rizal by reading his two novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. I have Leon Ma. Guerrero’s english translated version; I have always dreamed of reading the two novels that played a big role for the independence we have today.

5 I will watch the entire first season of Gossip Girl over a weekend DVD marathon. They say it’s sexy and totally irresistible. I can’t wait!

6 I’ll catch up with my DVD addictions, Grey’sAnatmoy (season 4), Desperate Housewives (season 4), Brothers and Sisters (season 2), Ugly Betty (I’ll watch the first season na, promise!), Prison Break (I have the complete first season already), and One Tree Hill (I have the complete first three seasons).

7 I’ll try to change my sleeping habits. My insomnia has gone from bad to worst. I now sleep at 5am or worst, 9am. I do believe that I already need medical help regarding this so now that I’m already graduating, I will seek professional help at the Medical City’s Sleeping Disorder Institute.

8 I will try my very best to drink 2 liters or more of water everyday. I love salty foods, if I can, I’ll munch on potato chips every minute but I can’t. Lately I have been having problems with my kidneys which will be taken care of next week also at Medical City.

9 I’ll try to be more giving. I am a believer of the saying to whom much is given, much is expected in return. I look around me and there are just so many people in need of help especially financially and materially. I’ll try helping to the best that I can. If I can, I’ll join a charity. Oprah’s Big Give really inspired me.

10 I”ll continue collecting jeans! I love love love maong jeans. Whenever I’m down, stressed out or I just want to feel better, I buy jeans. I don’t know how many I have at this point in time; I just know that it’s close to a hundred.

11 I’m going to write and write and write more. I’ve recently watched an Oprah episode wherein her doctor friend and show’s house doctor, Dr. Oz was guest and he said that making writing a daily habit can make your life 5 years longer since it releases stress and tension. More so, it produces healthy cells in our brain.

12 I’m going to learn how to cook. My mom loves to cook and she has been forever nagging me and my sister that it’s very important that we know how to cook. Indeed, I have realized that living in this globalized world is still not a reason for you to just leave a sumptuous meal to fast food chains or restaurants. They say that cooking is a very fulfilling hobby and so I want to try it. I know that it takes time to learn how to cook but for a person like me who helps his mom in the kitchen every Christmas eve, I’m sure it won’t be hard. This likeness to learn how to cook was awakened when my friend Jammy told me that after graduation she’s going to Singapore to study culinary. I was really inspired. And also, I realized, isn’t it a plus point for you to your future partner if you know how to cook?

13 I will try to regularly watch the live telecast of The View airing weekdays at 11pm on Sky Cable’s Velvet. I super love Barbara Walters. (I am watching it right now while doing this)

14 I’m going to catch up with my favorite talk shows on TV that I’ve been missing these past few months since I was very busy doing my thesis, moving to a new house, and finishing my internship. From Boy and Kris to The Oprah Winfrey Show to Ellen, I’ll be a talk show freak now!


15 I will watch Regine Velasquez and Lani Misalucha’s back-to-back concert at the Araneta Coliseum on February 2009 entitled, The Main Event: The Duel of the Divas.

16 I will never tire to learn and discover things. I believe that it is the pursuit of knowledge that makes every human being truly noble and the absence of this passion to learn is the signal of death.

17 I will look for a nice and decent job that pays good enough to provide for my needs and wants. Of course it has to be something I love doing.

18 I will tell the people I love how much I love them as often as I can. I want the people I value the most to feel how much I appreciate and value them. Love should be expressed as often as we can for it might be too late for you if you let a chance slip away.

19 GOODBYE ONLINE GUYS! I won’t entertain any guy who’ll message me in the World Wide Web anymore wanting to know me better and the usual getting-to-know-each-other chow chow. I’ve been there; I’ve done that and look at me now. I’m still alone. What have I got? Heartaches and yes, lessons but let it stop there. I’m done with this. Let’s just face it, internet is not the best place to find a man to have and to hold. Though it’s one of the ways, it’s just not for me. I mean this. And for the record, I DON’T HAVE AN ACCOUNT IN ANY OF THE GAY SITES IN THE WEB.

20 I will be open to falling in love, to men (not from the internet), to new lessons I’m going to learn from future relationships I’m going to enter. I will not be afraid to be hurt for it is through pain that we learn. I will welcome love in every possible way. Only now, I will TRY to be more rational about love. I will TRY my best to not always put my heart above my head.

21 I’ll be more positive towards life. I will be grateful for every day of my life. I will embrace every experience and cherish every encounter. I will apply lessons I’ve learned in the past. I will not be afraid to take risks. I will live life to the fullest. I will live my life without regrets. Life is short and I want to make the most out of it.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor


1/5

Everyone who knows me know that I don’t like adventure movies. I don’t enjoy action films as well as sci-fi ones. It is now ironic why I watched this movie. I wasn’t able to watch the first two mummy movie that’s why I have no point of comparison or whatever if this one is better than the other two.

For a chick flick and drama fan like me, I can say that the third installment of the mummy movies was a so-so worth watching film even though the actors’ acting was all forgettable. Brendan Fraser sucked big time in this film. The script was a total crap and its story sequencing was below mediocrity. The only thing worth commending in this movie was its use of special effects. I also liked the fact that since the movies’ plot deals with the dragon emperor, the director made use of some elements from the rich Chinese culture which saved it from being a nonsense adventure chow chow. I just wished that the director, Rob Cohen incorporated more of the popular Chinese skill of martial arts in this movie, maybe then, I can say that the movie is 100% worth spending for. Be that as it may, there are a lot of other movies in theaters right now so spend your money wisely. Just watch and kill time with another film.

Sex and the City


5/5

Fantastic, fabulous and never out of style, Sex and the City is undeniably the greatest movie event of 2008.

I am big fan of the series. I have all 6 seasons in DVD and I’ve seen every single episodes of it. I am also proud to say that among my favorite US TV series, Sex and the City has had the most impact in my life especially on the way I think about friendship, relationships and ultimately, love. Last year when the buzz that a movie is finally in the works, I said to myself, come what may, I gotta watch this movie on its first day…and so I did.

Four years since we last saw the girls at the series’ finale episode, “An American Girl in Paris: Part Deux,” the movie picks up three years after this and showed how the lives of the four fabulous characters we’ve come to love are all doing now.

Director and writer Michael Patrick King is a true genius for he was able to give a good take on the movie adaptation that it didn’t appear as if it’s nothing but an expanded episode on TV. He should also be credited enough for the wonderful script of this movie. Though still filled with ample humor that’s a trademark of the series, the movie has a more emotional take on the lives of the four girls. The flawless and poignant dialogues depicted how each of the four girls has matured.

Sarah Jessica Parker was as expected fabulous in this movie. Of course, Kim Cattrall is wonderful! It’s a feeling of great joy to see these four girls reprise their characters in the hit TV series into the movie. Four years after the series concluded, I still believe that they’re all perfect for their roles. Fashion wise, no questions asked, they’re all fabulous and perfect!

The 2hrs 30mins running time is worth the wait in every aspect of the word. It’ll definitely satisfy millions of Sex and the City fans all over the world who are all waiting for this movie year after year since its series finale in HBO. Whether you are a fan or not, you can’t afford to miss this movie, for it’s not only a movie…it’s history.

After watching the film, I txted my bestfriend right away and told her that you should forget you were ever born into this world if you’ll miss this movie. That’s how good Sex and the City is. Without any bias whatsoever, I believe that Sex and the City’s story is timeless and will forever linger generations after generations for it tells a story of what a genuine and unconditional friendship should be. More so, it gives us the hope that after all the ups and downs, all the joys and pains that you’ll have to go through in finding your perfect match, Sex and the City is a validation that all of us will indeed find the greatest love of our lives and the happy ending that will surely determine the essence of our existence is waiting for us.

What Happens in Vegas

4/5 stars

Hilarious and full of substance, What Happens in Vegas is one of the best romantic comedies of this year. Though there were a few boring scenes as the movie progresses to it's climax, director Tom Vaughan was able to pick it up and surprise the moviegoers with scenes that'll make you laugh and at the same time fall in love. The storyline is different from other movies of this genre in such a way that the narrative itself is a larger than life kind. It's not your typical love story taken from the slice of life, a love story that you know is possible and may have happen at least once in a person's lifetime. The storyline of What Happens in Vegas is the type that you know is not gonna happen in the real world but for the sake of fiction, you give it a try. With all fairness to the movie, I believe it's successful in making impossible scenarios appear as if it will really happen in real life. After all, this is a romantic comedy and improbable scenarios are part of the package.

This movie is filled with humor that'll surely make you laugh from the story itself down to the characters. In my honest opinion, the comedy it offered including the absurdity of the storyline isn't at all corny. It’s endearing and worth a laugh. Likewise, the movie presented sufficient amount of romance to show how love bloomed in the hearts of two individuals with extremely opposing characters. Towards the end of the film, when more of the romantic side is being focused on, the entire scene of the party at the retreat Joy (Diaz) and Jack (Kutcher) attended and the finale scene at the beach with both characters professing their love for each other are very commendable scenes. The perfect balance of humor and romance in this movie deserves applause.

The pairing of Ashton and Cameron is the primary reason why this movie is able to carry out a plot like this. Their natural comedy combined with the undeniable chemistry between the two of them makes this movie a success. They look good together on screen and make a perfect couple.

Ultimately, what I love about this movie is its take on how love is possible and how a relationship can work despite the enormous disparateness of two characters. It tells us that sometimes it is not your similarities that make you fall for a person but it is actually the person’s unlikeness to you that makes you love him/her.

For whatever its worth, this movie is a must-see. It’s entertaining, engaging, and a perfect movie to give your day a break.

When Love Begins

4/5 stars

Together with Joanne and Korina, we were on our way to SM Mall of Asia last November 2007 to watch "One More Chance" when I first heard about this movie. Without second thoughts, I told my two girlfriends that I'm gonna watch this movie come what may. Finally, 5 months after, the movie premiered in theaters nationwide and two days after its regular screening, here's what Dave has to say about "When Love Begins..."

This movie deserves a credit for how genius it handled the unconventional type of relationship the two main characters have. Although undeniably the movie was very formulaic and predictable, I believe Director Jose Javier Reyes was successful in making this movie rise above all other romance flicks by using the elements of realism. "When Love Begins" breaks away from the convention of cheesy, corny, "kill-me-now" lines you'll most likely hear in romance movies. With this movie, you'll feel and see what is really happening in a relationship. Every dialogue was precise and enough to just express the emotions of the characters as well as what the scene is asking for. There was never a scene or dialogue of exaggerating emotions in this film. The only thing I didn't like about it was the immensity of coincidences in the movie. I believe that the concept of destiny in chick flicks are so over used and since the movie was very promising I expected that Director Jose Javier Reyes was able to add a different twist in some scenes particularly the last few scenes when the lead characters got back together. I think it's so coincidental.

The primary reason why I love the plot is because it gives the moviegoers a picture of a relationship taken out of our reality. "When Love Begins" will not give you the feeling of kilig-kilig moments rather it will show you the real complications and struggles a new relationship entails. This is a movie done to show what happens when two different personalities fused together to build a relationship in the midst of other difficulties surrounding them.

At first thought you would think that the pairing of Aga Muhlach and Anne Curtis wouldn't be successful and won't create a spark of chemistry considering their big age gap but with how genius Direk Joey Reyes carried out this mature love story, it did create a fire of chemistry between Aga and Anne. Needless to say that Aga's favorable acting as Ben and Anne's splendid portrayal as Mich is a big factor in creating the heart of a romance flick--chemistry.

When Love Begins is not the kind of movie that'll have you raving about it after the ending credits but it is the kind of movie you wouldn't wanna miss especially if you love romance. Also, I believe this is the perfect movie for couples who are in the early stages of their relationship when they're still getting to know each other and where the adjustment period is still very much felt. This movie is worth your 120 bucks and popcorn to accompany.

PS. What can I say?! Anne is so fabulous in this movie. And to Moi and Jarvis, guys, you should watch this.

27 Dresses

4/5 stars

I didn’t have second thoughts on watching this movie on its opening day. From its trailer I have seen a week ago, I can tell that this chick flick is quite good. Gladly for ’27 Dresses’, it didn’t disappoint me.

Though undeniably the movie’s plot was predictable and most of the scenes followed the conventional formula of a chick flick, what was so remarkable about the film was its story. It’s so cute and realistic and has managed to stay away from fantasies which most romantic-comedies have. The clichés and coincidences in the movie were all bearable. Another thing that’s nice about this movie was that even though you think you’ve seen this particular scene or character in another film, Director Anne Fletcher have made it look fresh and new again as if it’s the only option and if you’re gonna change it, you’ll just ruin the entire film.

The chemistry of the two lead actors was unbelievable. They act so genuine that you’ll really be carried away and will leave you feeling super kilig.

My top 5 favorite kilig moments were:
1. when Kevin was saying sorry about the article then handed Jane an electronic planner
2. scene where they were on a bar and singing their favorite song
3. the part where Kevin told Jane what’s his favorite part of a wedding
4. when Jane was walking down the aisle (I love James Marsden’s eyes)
5. OF COURSE! the scene where Jane was telling Kevin how she feels for him at the boat wedding

I just love Katherine Heigl so much! I love her as Izzie and I even loved her as Jane. I’m a fan of unrequited love for obvious reasons and she was very effective in portraying this role especially the scenes where she was holding back with the love she feels for George, scenes where she’s about to cry because of the pain of a repressed love but she can’t so she holds back her tears and just smile away. She’s a very good actress!

‘27 Dresses’ is not another chick flick to be bored with. It’s funny, romantic and very very touching. It’s worth the 120 bucks!

PS. James Marsden is gorgeous!
