Un/Happy for You

"Un/Happy for You" is a generic Feel Good Romance that's very predictable and formula driven. This film is a comeback movie of Joshua Garcia and Julia Barreto love team both did justice to their roles. Both is just ok on every level even the dramatic scenes. The theme song,"Paubaya" as sung by Moira is out of place and is far from its theme. The cinematography is just ok. The story and direction feels rushed but you get to enjoy the movie. But the ending is a stand out. I won't spoil it.

Overall, "Un/Happy for You" is just decent and pure escapists for a Filipino film. It feels like a Filipino movie I've seen before. But if you're a fan of JoshLia love team then you might like it as a whole.

Aside from me having a personal experience with what's happening on the movie, the movie is so great, with this JoshLia loveteam movie comeback.

I learned different things on this movie, about the culture, maturity and how Juancho learned from his mistakes.

If you are heartbroken or a person that left on a TIRING relationship or the person who was left behind, this movie is for you.

JoshLia acting is so pure and amazing, never made me boo even just a second. There's no hanging moments, the awkwardness of the two couple (based on the acting) is so natural, not BAD acting. I felt the feelings that the two characters were feeling. I felt everything,

So if you are again, a fan of FILIPINO ROMANCE MOVIE or you are a fan of JOSHLIA, then this movie is for you.

Okay, first of all, this is the first filipino movie i've watched in cinemas ever since i moved here, and i gotta tell you, this movie is POINTLESS.

The jokes are unfunny, the story is plain bs, the only thing good about this movie is the trailer, i know right? The trailer is the only thing good about this movie.

Really, filipino movies were great, but ever since i don't know. Like 2016? It had gone HORRIBLY WRONG.

And ever since "Viva Films" decided to make "Vivamax" they have been NOT doing well.

The movie is rated "PG" in the Philippines but dosen't take the "Soft-corn" scenes into accountability, and i've watched Tarot, and trust me, Un/happy for you should've been rated R-13.

This movie really sucks, don't watch it for gods sake.

Outdated ideas rehashed. The film leans heavily on tired stereotypes about women, presenting them as overly supportive and patient to a fault. The lead actor's character had no depth or growth-he remained clueless and irresponsible throughout. It's frustrating to see him repeatedly let people down because the women around him are too kind to tell him to grow up.

When his ex-girlfriend finally called him out on his behavior, he assumed everything was fine just because they slept together-completely missing the point. Meanwhile, his friends and enablers kept excusing his actions, letting him off the hook.

The story had potential to be relevant and grounded in 2024, but it felt half-baked, as if the writer wanted to explore one angle but was forced to add a forced romance. The result was a messy, unsatisfying film. Honestly, I'm glad we watched it on Netflix-if I'd paid for this, I'd be furious.

The story is generic, you'll instantly think of "Starting Over Again", "The Hows of Us", and "One More Chance" merged into one film with relevant formulas. There were lots of unnecessary scenes that didn't add up to the wholeness of the film and there are impactful scenes that were executed too sudden that lost its value in the story like Juancho's crying/begging moment in the rain. Characters were also not utilized like Bok being a supposed-to-be supporting actor, Sir JP which could have been the source of love wisdom for Juancho's fragile feelings for Zy instead of Papa Jun (which was totally random) and characters weren't properly established like Lei and Aiah. You'll even question how did the characters suddenly appear in the story. The cinematography was also odd, and the establishing shots in some sequences were off. Thanks to JoshLia for saving the movie though, their acting skills are really superb.
