A Love Story

Ian Montes is a picture of success. Despite being a son of a shipping tycoon, Ian refused to just ride in his father's empire. He built his own real estate company and earned his first million at a very young age. He never looked back since then. Driven by his ambition to become better, if not as good as his father, Ian managed to make it on his own. But behind all the glory is a man yearning for love and recognition.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I saw this movie last night on DVD for some reason, I lost tract with the civilization that I don't have an idea that this movie exists nor what it's all about, so I made it a try.The movie is all about Ian Montes, played by Aga Muhlach, along with all his love interest, Dr. Joanna Villanueva played by Maricel Soriano and the 22 year old flight attendant Karyl played by Angelica Panganiban. Sounds very interesting right? How could you go wrong with the comparison of a 22 year old flight crew with an doctor.Aga Muchlach, as always, perhaps, the only Filipino actors who proves the Einstein theory that time doesn't exists. He doesn't aged a bit, he can portray any genre or character, he can convince everybody that he is either 25 or 45 and living you without any doubt.The way the movie goes was very interesting, something that hasn't been done before, its a very new way for the Filipino audience, I'm sure a lot of the movie goer could be confuse for some part cause director Mario J delos Reyes made it in a way that you will hold your seat and wait what gonna happen, so it's kinda tragic and not the usual Filipino movie that you would hope the ending will be.It is a slow start, I could really tell that hey had difficult time introduced the character, but it went very well, everybody at their age might get relate with them or somehow get the sympathy of the characters cause they portrayed it very well.... and oh yeah it has twist....In general, I love the movie, I love the story, I love the characters, I totally recommend it to watch it.

A Love Story is basically the same old trashy filipino soap style movie being serve by Star Cinema. We can see the usual stuff like heavy on dialog, over the top crying scenes, and all those melodramatic cliché being thrown into the screen. This movie is all about Ian (played by Aga Muhlach, acting cute as always) who have to decide which two chicks his hooking up his going to end up with. Is it the bitch Karyn (Angelica Panganiban) or the mature and caring Joanna (Maricel Soriano)? Basically, its a contest between these two lousy women on who gets the grand prize(Ian the womanizer).The story was presented in non-linear and boast itself with a plot twist not common to filipino movies. Unfortunately, the direction was gawd awful its messy and confusing. The scene editing was horrible you get lost between transitions to different location and time. All sorts of supporting casts appears right at you.... you just unable to keep up knowing each one of them.The problem with this movie is that we really don't care about the characters we are seeing. It doesn't show the true values of a filipino. Like Karyn for example, mind you.... a woman who met a guy in the elevator then ends up having sex on the same night will always be a woman of bad reputation in Christian Philippines. Then there's this Ian who broke his leg on a pathetic skiing stunt who cries like a girl eventually going gaga over Laura because she was the one nursing him till he gets well. Its unbelievable..... and when they finally reveal the over hype twist in the story, I'd say oh yeah..... big deal.

I watched this movie with not much expectations. I've been let down several times by most Tagalog movies that it's hard to expect too much. So with an open mind, I watched this movie with a friend. And boy were we in for a real disappointment.Before I start ranting, credit must be given to where it is due. The over all look of the movie is not bad. Like almost all recent Filipino movies, this movie also looked expensive. The cinematography and editing were good, the direction was average and the acting were good given the material that the actors had to work with. Aga's portrayal of Ian's character was moving in a sense that I'm sure Filipino yuppies were able to identify with him. Maricel's (Joana) portrayal was her usual drama. Nothing spectacular. Angelica (Karyn) is a pretty face but she could not cry to save her life.What irked me the most, aside from the musical score, was the plot. The basic storyline was a disgrace to the intelligence of women all over the world. Yes, it is a virtue to forgive and forget. Yes, love should conquer all. But balance must also be made with respect to morals and values.This movie patronized how men could conjure up reasons why they would cheat on their spouses or their girlfriends. Unavailability of your partner is not a reason for anyone to go looking for someone else. It may be a reason for a termination of a relationship but definitely not one for cheating - not that there's any reason to cheat, mind you.Maricel portrayed an intelligent, successful woman who was once betrayed by the man she loved. And then all of a sudden, here she is falling for a married man. That's illogical. How could someone who have supposedly suffered so much commit the same adulterous mistake once made against her. Though it may happen on real life in the unlikeliest of situations, the writers of the movie failed to create a reasonable impulse on Maricel's character for the audience to comprehend her actions. In addition to this, in the scene where Joana and Ian first met, the former said:"pwede ba tayong magpakuha ng stretcher?" No self respecting doctor would sound so doubtful in this kind of situation.Aga, on the other hand, played a rich, recently married playboy who has issues with his father. Aga plays the role of a rich playboy so well we almost believe that in real life, he is (who knows). But the problem with this with regard to this movie is that such shallow characterization of Aga's character failed to utilize Aga's acting skills. Can he just stop playing cute in each and every movie and be a serious actor soon? Like in this movie, Ian, who was supposed to have shun his family's already steady business to make a name for himself appeared to be shallow and immature in his personal life. The writers could have used the character's pain brought by his dad to their advantage by making Aga's character deeper, wrought by confusion, racked by guilt and generally logical. But somehow, in their attempt to make the audience sympathize with the character's betrayal, the writers forgot the actual character.As to Angelica's character, well a former comment on this was so apt. Karyn's character was not fully developed, to say the least. Here is a smart guy who has everything in the world going for him who met a pretty girl who is so much younger than him. They slept together and then boom! They're married? How come? What compelled this elusive bachelor to get hitch with this seemingly loose girl? Once again, there is no logic here. To be contrite about it, there is simply a lack of progression.The movie seriously underestimates the intelligence of the Filipino audience. Gone are the days when people seem to be satisfied with a happy ending. Loose ends NEED to be tied seamlessly this time. Gone are the days when movie patrons comprise mainly of yayas and manongs. The educated Filipinos are trying to appreciate our film industry. Give us good stories. Give us reasonable tales. Give us a reason to come back. Stop feeding us rehash of old tales. And please, stop advocating male machismo at its worst.It is NEVER okay to cheat on your wives and expect to be forgiven just because you're sorry. Even if you have a child. Women need to understand that children are not a reason to stay in a marriage. You don't lose your dignity when you get married.

I just seen this movie and from what I saw, the only thing I could say is that it had a very good idea behind it. Unfortunately, they lack important details such as how Karyn(Panganiban) and Ian's(Mulach) relationship ever blossomed. I mean, sure they showed how they met, and how they ended up in bed, but where's the middle part? It's like sex without foreplay. Yeah, Just straight to orgasm. But then again, what the hell do I know about that stuff. Anyway, back to my point. The concept of having the audience think that the mistress was the wife and vice-versa was very well planned. It had the potential to be one of the most unforgettable movies of all time; However, because of the lack of support for each of the character's background, the movie ended up just as a one-time thing. You watch it, you forget it. Period. I am aware, though, that they deliberately intended for the audience to start hating Karyn, given the way that she was exposed slowly to the viewers, but a little more detail could not have hurt.As for the sympathy for the characters, there was not much. The only dominant feeling throughout the movie was the growing hate for the character of Aga. He was flat and boring AND annoying. The little screen time Angelica had gave even more growth as a person, and insight to the expecting viewers. Maricel's character showed development too, but I didn't think that she would've done the same thing that happened to her to another person. There's trauma, yes, but that was just plain evil. Who makes people hurt the way they did? All in all, I would still recommend A Love Story to most people. Especially if you're Filipino.Though not very lengthy, it still had parts where you just get lost thinking with the characters as you watch them, possibly even share the feeling that they had at the time. I can't deny that it did have it's moments, it's just that they weren't very unforgettable.Again, good idea, could-be-way-better depiction.
