feel good movies

i've always liked seeing feel-good movies of late mostly because i like to just sit back and relax while munching on some pretentious low-fat food. for the past week, i've actually seen "manay po" on dvd which was a movie shown the time i left for the states last june. it was actually quite funny what with cherry pie's lisp dialogues and awesome acting by the characters. many will probably not like it cause it involves cherry pie pichache's three gay sons. its not really all about the cheap gay antics but its also about relationships and family and i guess beneath the comedy, it actually talks about the trivialities of being different.

i wanted to see "you are the one" partly because both toni & sam i find uber gorgeous and the other part because i knew it was going to be a romantic, feel-good movie. i wasn't disappointed seeing the film because apart from the love story & "kilig" moments, there was also drama (read : teary-eyed moments) and comedy (courtesy of gio alvarez and eugene domingo). the story is quite simple and in a way that for me is the whole appeal of seeing these kinds of film - you don't have to think too much. you just have to sit there and enjoy the "kilig" moments. yeah, deep inside i'm still a romantic fool at heart. sam & toni doesn't disappoint in this movie. i particularly liked that part when will (sam) said "i don't have a heart that can love. it died when my parents gave me away." and sally (toni) replies "you have a heart. heartbroken, oo. pero you have a heart." that's one of the things i fear most, reaching that point where i'm jaded so much about love that i won't be able to love anymore. now that's a really bad thing.
