Minha Amiga Amanda

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

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.

Everything was horrible. Lines, plot, Alessandra's acting are all very bad. It's a lame movie. Overacting.. All the bad in one movie.

Ho hum... To call it boring is an understatement. The plot was not remotely interesting at all. I was surprised with Alessandra's performance. She seemed like a rookie trying to do so much to give life to bland scripts and dull scenes, to give the illusion that she was shining in her craft. No amount of acting and diction can save an atrocious dialoge and lifeless scenes. I found her speech irritating as she sounded like a dude.

Things that I liked: the chemistry between the 2 main characters the jokes are funny

BUT

I don't remember one scene where the 2 main characters are separated (in the story, yes, but not in the movie). They are the only real characters, all the other people are just there, they don't serve any real purpose at all. Almost all the scenes look and feel the same. The story wasn't even worth the 1 hr. This entire movie could have been better off as a short film.

Oh yeah... the star thing was cheesy and cliche.
