Movie 2010.08.13 - For the First Time

I rarely watch Filipino movies, and this is a prime example why.

For the First Time is a 15th anniversary offering from Star Cinema starring KC Concepcion and Richard Guitierrez. Incidentally, tihs is also KC's first movie, and it shows. I hope this is also her last. She's definitely no Vilma Santos, or Sharon Cuneta, for that matter.

Here's the plot. Seth, who is a known playboy, courts then breaks up with Pia, who later gatecrashes his family party and makes an impassioned, grovelling speech about still loving him and not giving up on him, while her father looks on approvingly.

So how did that one-line plot fill up a whole movie? Beats me. That's Pinoy movie for you.
