Hello, Stranger: The Movie

This movie really stayed with me even after almost two months since its release. It made me want to experience how to fall in love. Hoping for season 2.

Honestly, the story of the film was too common, A guy is hiding then B guy is ready to love, then A guy realizes that he has to do his real thing but was not able to do so due to what's right and wrong in the society, then they fall in love for real at the end.

For me, what made me give this movie ten stars is because, the realization of the film that life has always taught us what to do when we get so confused with our identity and how we want to live. There are tons of men and women hiding their true selves, why? Because their belief, traditions, customs and parents told them so that it's wrong. However the film strongly pounded that no matter what you are, where you're from and whatever the origin you came from, LOVE will always remain LOVE and no one can break that. We make our own destiny, we love who we want to love, because at the end of the day, our choice and decisions in life will always win.

From the comedy, drama, friendship and love, the movie was beautifully made and well delivered. Even the cringe-worthy scenes complemented the film! There's a feeling of genuineness on the approach and delivery of the whole movie such that no scene was made just to please what the people and the fans obviously wanted instead, was poignantly and genuinely given to the audience. Bravo to the director, actors and to the rest of the team! Hoping for a sequel to the film or a season 2 of the series. I'm sure it will also be worth every penny! xxx

No movie has ever made me cry so much!

A warning though, watch the web-series on YouTube first before you watch this movie.

The emotions in this movie are raw and genuine!

The chemistry between the two main characters is amazing and almost genuine!

If you want to feel good, happy, laugh, and cry, watch this movie.

This movie is both a romantic comedy and coming-of-age film. Petersen Vargas and Dwein Baltazar team up to spark a rollercoaster of emotions. It picks up where the series left off, and the story unravels as the movie progresses.

If I'm being frank and nitpicky, the movie is not the most innovative in its plot, but it compensates in the way all the characters carry the storyline. There are lots of funny, lighthearted moments as well as scenes that will break your heart. Both Tony and JC convey love outside the heteronormative bubble with such reverence and authenticity (although I personally wish there was more fluff and less drama).

I highly recommend watching the series beforehand as it really helps establish the characters. Where it lacks in plot, it sure makes up in character development. Makakilig at magiiyak kayo for sure! Kaya panoorin niyo na!
