The Girl In the Orange Dress

There was only one thing that I was pleasurable in this movie, the leads were captured beautifully. Everything else was a train-wreck. Bad story telling, full of holes that couldn't be ignored. Logic and common sense was largely lacking in the story every step of the way. Establishing scenes would be made for the sake of the story telling and then will be transgressed soon after. The casting of the extras were also terrible, people who couldn't act spouting out stiffly rehearsed lines, it felt like watching a high school play. Problematic situations that arise in the progress of the story are not met with plausible solutions but the with the silliest implausible scenarios. I would have given it a one star but I gave it two since the lead actor always performs well and since the leads looked good in it (except for the hideous wig the lead actress wore in the ending scenes, absolutely ghastly).

All of the negative reviews are overly harsh. Yes there are major plot holes but there are worse Pinoy rom-com movies that I've seen. The true and accurate depiction of Philippine tabloid reporting is quite hilarious.

This movie is on my top 10 worst movies. Terrible acting, horrible storyline, and nothing made sense. Every cringy scene really made me want to chuck my shoe at the screen.
