My Perfect You (2018)
Not your typical pinoy romcom
Due to my mother being pinay I've seen my fair share of pinoy romcoms. And even though I might find them cheesy, they do have a certain charm over them.
I thought I'd finally learn the language more and I figured watching some Tagalog movies would get me started. I decided to put on this movie on an airplane to kill some time, and I wasn't expecting much more than your previously mentioned typical, cliché pinoy romcom.
I don't know if it was my zero expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed. Not only in regards of the story, but also the acting and directing part.
It starts out with a very serious tone, and kinda switch to a more lighthearted and silly tone. At first I didn't like this switch, but by the end of the movie I realized that this was a perfect move for the story and it all makes sense.
This is a very underrated pinoy movie that you should differently give a chance all the way through. I have to give credit to the actors, writers and director for taking a risk by being willing to bring something new to these type of pinoy films.
