Like most Star Cinema red carpet premiers, it was packed. Considering this is a new love team, many were there to support, including fan clubs from the different love teams involving the two leads. I would like to enumerate each one, but there are too many to mention.
It’s nice to see how well this tandem is received by everyone.
A lot of celebrity guests were also at the event including the big boss of Star Cinema, Malou Santos and the big bosses of ABS-CBN.
It was standing room inside the cinema but people didn’t seem to mind standing up or sitting by the aisle cause everyone wanted to witness and be part of the birth of a new love team, luckily we came in early so we got good seats.
I can’t seem to put into words how I felt about the movie. I liked it so much that I watched it again the next day (opening day). It was cute, sweet and touching.
Let me close this post with a review I stumbled upon that best describes my thoughts.
“Early promotional releases for the film made people wonder if it’s just another twist on the well-loved Hollywood rom-com “50 First Dates.” Although it has similar elements, particularly that of the female lead having a so-called amnesia, certainly, “My Amnesia Girl" is its own story.
With no previous project---small or big---together, Toni and Lloydy’s chemistry is a revelation. They look cute together; their team-up refreshing and exciting. There never was any awkward moment between the two all throughout the film, whether the scene is comic, romantic or dramatic.
Considering that both Toni and Lloydy already have several rom-com films under their belts, “My Amnesia Girl” was able to bring out something different and something better in them. As for Toni, now dubbed as the Queen of Romantic Comedy Movies, she did things she's never done before, most notable of which is sharing passionate kissing scenes with her leading man.
Toni is generally associated with comedy, and her display of emotional profundity in playing Irene--particularly during the dramatic scenes--is another revelation in the film. Our favorite moment was when she was shooting an old couple who’s celebrating their golden anniversary. She obviously was struggling to hide the pain by smiling and staying composed, but her eyes just gave away a thousand sensations of pain that stabs right through the heart.
Even if his characterization is light, John Lloyd delivered another solid performance, proving yet again that he is a certified master of this genre. The man is undeniably gifted in conveying a sea of emotions through his eyes or even just his gestures. One of the scenes which effectively exhibited this is during one proposal scene wherein both his joy and pain are simultaneously felt, as he hugged Irene so tightly with his eyes closed.” – Rowena Joy A. Sanchez, Manila Bulletin
THE BOYS!
CHEERS TO THE CAST, CREW, WRITERS AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS FILM!
GALING!
As early as yesterday people who have seen the film have been requesting for a sequel... It's actually open-ended, so I guess there's a huge possibility that there will be a part 2! We sure hope so :)
