My Amanda

I tried giving it a chance by watching it for about 36 minutes. What a waste of time! Highly irritating dialogues in very cringy situations, like a teen movie in the 90's but played by adults in their 30's. It's cheesier than a block of asiago. Not cute, not romantic, and definitely not good.

You wont cry but you will feel sad after watching the movie.

This film is a breath of fresh air. It's supposedly based on a true story of De Rossi's friend. You wonder whether this can happen in real life.

It chronicles memorable personal moments of best friends forever (Fuffy and Fream), funny and irreverent most of the time but occasionally sad. As such it has a playful tone, and pacing doesn't tarry unnecessarily.

As usual, Piolo Pascual's acting chops are on display here in his role as Fuffy. And Alessandra de Rossi is a pleasant surprise notably because she debuts as writer-director. She portrays the role of a gilted wife well. The ever dependable Luz Valdez essays her role as Fream's grandma credibly.

The outdoor shots are great.

It ends quite unexpectedly. At that point, the viewer realizes why it's important for Fuffy to tell their story as the film's narrator.

Very nice. Excellent Actors. I really like it. The chemistry between Andrea and Papa P is really good. I couldn't move on.

The irrelevance and trivia of this movie can hardly be outperformed. The dialogues are completely banal (which made me angry, because I had to read this shit). About the outside locations I wondered: Where the h*** has this been recorded? The main characters drive with around in expensive cars (that I couldn´t afford and I belong to the 10 % people with the highest income in Germany) through a countryside that is so deserted that I inevitably thought that all other people and vessels must have been kept out during the production. It all appears completely artificial.

Additionally, we get to see a complete illusory world where the protagonists have no other problems than where the hamster stays after the separation, what the ex texted or who gets to sing the favorite Karaoke song first. One gets to hang out with one´s best friend all the time. No need to work or any everyday life chores.

The director Die Regisseurin Alessandra de Rossi is actually actress - she should have stuck with her first profession.
