It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

The acting in this movie is really good.

if only rico yan didn't die young. this picture showed judy ann in all her "baby fats" splendor but looking like a beautiful ingenue. as she grows older she becomes lovelier than ever. this is a heart-gripping tale of two sweethearts who were separated by circumstances but managed to end up together in the end, as in most pinoy feel-good movies.there are so many what could have been in this screen couple's roads but in the end fate intervened with rico's shocking death and the planned reunion in the film "isusumbong kita sa tatay ko," is put back in the drawing boards with a different love interest for judy ann.
