It takes a while to get into it, but I actually liked this flick. Yes, it looks like a bad home movie, but still liked the character of the young guy searching for love and eventually falling into the pit of being rejected and saying screw it.

As my title says, this was like a bad porn movie without any sex. We only lasted 15 minutes and had to stop it (which we NEVER do!) Don't waste your time!

The good: Good to see gay life in another country, The leads are attractive, The movie handles nudity very well, Some good shots, and a couple of good moments. The bad: Awful acting by some of the supporting cast members; Bad editing (choppy), awful sound.... The story is predictable, and it also gets confusing at times (maybe due to editing problems?). The chemistry b/w the two main characters is really never there, and the movie forces them into a relationship that does not feel like it should have happened. The resolution in the end seems to come too fast and lacks believability... Finally, often the subtitiles can't be read b/c the background becomes too light and the letters appear white.... IDK if it's common in any tagalog movie but the captions came and went too fast and it made it hard to know what was going on....

Yes it was a little over the top at times kind of very dramatic but it was a interesting movie over all to watch. Cute lead actor looking for love in all the wrong places. Haha It had some really funny scenes threw in there too. I felt it was entertaining and it's worth atleast renting. (Note: if you can't handle reading subtitles then don't rent it because it's in Tagalog.)

This was a terrible, low-budget, badly filmed and poorly scripted movie. The actors over-acted throughout and the story was haphazard. I really hate movies with subtitles.............
