The Entitled

The story is very cliché. Actually, the story is the same as the movies released in the 90s. Nothing's changed! It hurts my brain watching this movie. Always basing their characters from stereotypes. Once you're poor means you're ugly and ill-mannered.

Seriously, Filipino film makers should upgrade their craft. We want to watch movies that has actually sense in it. This is just garbage.

This show literally depicts an out of touch narrative about the social class. Does coming from the lower class mean being ill-mannered/poorly behaved?

There were opportunities to discuss these concepts (like low-salary wages) but it was a miss.

Humor is unhinged too. They tried so hard to make it funny but its so cringe due to how bad the acting was.

I recently watched the movie and here are some things that I noticed:

1. The plot was very predictable.

2. Editing was great but they forgot to cut something in the mid part and it ruined the quality of the movie.

3. I can't deny, I laughed so hard on some scenes. But that's it.

4. Explaining how she's been missing for a long period of time is only justifyable if they make part 2, but I doubt because of the reviews.

5. There's an antagonist but they didn't show how they resolved the issue. Plus, revealing it in a short period of time and then not doing anything after that was a bad decision.

6. Not satisfied with the ending. I mean, it's super cringy.

7. Not all the so called "poor" people acts like that. It's not cringy knowing that Alex Gonzaga was the actress but the idea of it tells everything.

As I said, I laughed but I didn't enjoy watching it. I don't recommend watching it if you are not a fan of swearing and weird acting. And it's not for children so don't let them watch it.

The overdramatic acting of the actress is cringeworthy. Two minutes in and i cannot tolerate that unbelievable acting. No one in todays world would act like that And what is it with the fake pimples. You can be poor without pimples too.

Now, I am not overly familiar with Filipino cinema, as I rarely happen to stumble upon movies from that part of the world. So as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch "The Entitled", of course I did so.

Sure, I didn't know what to expect from writer Noreen Capili and director Theodore Boborol, so they had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me with "The Entitled".

And I will say that this was certainly a watchable movie, but as romantic comedies go then it was actually a rather generic movie. But hey, if you are a fan of rom-coms then you are definitely going to get a blast out of this 2022 movie. However, it should be said that this is a very predictable storyline. Yeah, I found it entertaining enough, but it just wasn't an outstanding romantic comedy, and I doubt that this is a movie I will be returning to a second time.

There were some funny moments throughout the course of the storyline, and I had a couple of genuine laughs here and there, so that counted for something.

Now, I am by no means familiar with Filipino talents, but the cast in the movie did perform well enough, especially the lead actress Alex Gonzaga (playing Belinda).

All in all, then "The Entitled" was a fair enough movie.

My rating of "The Entitled" lands on a five out of ten stars.
