She stands out in her effortless crying scenes, particularly in that scene in the car where she shares with Enrique the sudden death of her mom and her dad's losing all their money due to gambling. She not only oozes with charisma and star quality on screen but can also act persuasively. We hope that both Enrique and Liza will later be given less mediocre and more challenging material as they really both show some depth as performers. Both Enrique and Liza are the film's saving grace as they do their best and come up believable in their engineered dramatic scenes.

Most of the time, what carries the movie is the appeal of it actors who use their ample charms to supply what the movie itself lacks. The formula is now so sickeningly familiar but it seems local filmgoers don't mind at all, so Star Cinema just keeps on making the same kind of movie. But we all know they'll eventually fall in love with each other, then they will temporarily have a falling out, but as sure as hell will be reunited again in the end, even forgiving their respective erring parents. Also, they have serious issues with their respective dads. Just like in other rom-coms, they bicker and start on the wrong foot. He and his friends make a bet that he should make Liza as Sofia Taylor (even their names are so Hollywoodish, paying tribute to Taylor Swift, of which the original author is obviously a fan) fall in love with him in 30 days. Enrique is Drake (Swift in the original, but now changed to Sison), the most popular jock in school. So if you don't go for this kind of unreality, better avoid it as you'll only be annoyed.īut if you're a fan of the Liz-Quen love team and their recently concluded soap, "Forevermore", you just might enjoy this fan movie that is so constructed to insure that it'll have a lot of the obligatory "kilig" moments. The characters are always wearing jackets and sweatshirts, which is also so unreal considering how hot our weather is. To spruce up and improve on his recycled material, Director Ted makes his movie's production design more of an eye candy using multi-colored sets that look so unreal. This also has an American version, "Ten Things I Hate About You", which starred the late Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles.
It was last used in "She's All That" a 1999 teen rom-com starring Freddie Prinze.ĭirector Ted Boborol also pays tribute to another source, Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" which is discussed lengthily in one scene.

The bet as a plot device has already been used in so many movies and TV shows since time immemorial. "Inaagiw na sa baul", as they say in Tagalog. But “Tonight” is that much more romantic when it’s referring to a seemingly unremarkable evening shared by two lovers and felt spontaneously - no wedding necessary.THE MATERIAL used in, "Just the Way You Are", the first movie of the Enrique Gil-Liza Soberano love team (based on a "Wattpad" story called "The Bet) is just so ancient.
Granted, a wedding would presumably be a time for all those attractive features to shine through. After all, the loveliness in the song isn’t about an elaborate dress or hairdo, but rather a warm smile and a soft cheek, a word and a laugh. Sure, he doesn’t realize this until after he’s serenaded her, and she runs away embarrassed, but there’s wisdom in this humorous scene. He’s singing to Ginger Rogers, who’s in the next room shampooing her hair.
As such, it has been recorded by all the greats - Frank Sinatra, of course, as well as Ella, Billie and (insert favorite artist here).īut originally, and long before it was used in My Best Friend’s Wedding, it was Fred Astaire’s in Swing Time. Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields’ 1936 song “The Way You Look Tonight” is without a doubt one of the most romantic songs ever written, thanks to both a beautiful melody and pitch-perfect lyrics.
