    Not bad and not so melodramatic

    I saw this on DVD and liked it. It's yet another movie about the overseas Filipino worker, this time a schoolteacher who trains to be a nurse to work in England. What I liked about this movie was that it didn't deteriorate into melodrama and tear-fest conditions like so many Philippine movies do, but well, I have to say Sharon Cuneta's character probably would not have gotten a handsome husband as depicted in the film.

    I liked how the movie just presented life in England for OFWs, nurses in particular, and that it didn't spiral into crying drama and such. I'm sure many Filipinos can sympathize with the characters in the movie. It's good Filipinos have their sense of happiness and humor in such a depressing country like the U.K.

    If you enjoyed this movie, please check out "Anak" with Vilma Santos but please avoid "Dubai" with Claudine Baretto.
