YOU CHANGED MY LIFE REVIEW



Okay. Call me “baduy”, “bakya” and even “jologs” but I have to admit that I watched “You Changed my Life” movie of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo not once, not twice but yeah for three random times. A little birdie even quipped that his perceived level of my taste suddenly went down after I told him this. Well, what can I say? I am a Sarah Geronimo fan. Bleh!



The Movie is “bakya”, “baduy”, “jologs”.

This is true, but the movie was not created for a niche market. I have seen the movie in Trinoma for the three random times I’ve seen the movie. I would have to say that the cult is composed of different people belonging to different social classes. To top it off, Trinoma somehow caters to high end markets.
Another thing, it’s not right to set “bad taste” by default every time a movie presents a “bakya” theme. Though “bakya”, “baduy”, and “jologs” are strong vernaculars but we still have to consider that their definitions are still relative and non-standard.



The Movie presented non-intelligent plot.

Wise men and women were saying that there are few moments in the movie when the plot is collapsing, the director would just create tons of John Lloyd close-up shots and the audience is back on track- attention captured again. This may be true but again I would have to agree that the movie did not aim to present a “Slumdog Millionaire” kind of plot. If you start thinking, you’ll lose the appetite to enjoy the movie.



The Movie is just Hype.

I’d have to say that ABS-CBN is always efficient in promoting their movies. Aside from this, they know how to create good team ups. The timing is always set properly. But, we also have to give high credits to the lead. The movie didn’t earn tons of money if it’s not for the stars and the director of course.
All in all, the movie is a great getaway to the daily stress were facing. It’s a beautiful picture which presents candid humor and society truths. If there would be a third instalment, I would kill to be in the premiere!
