No Other Woman: That Boy is Mine, Period.

No Other Woman Fares Well in the BOx Office

Folks, we find ourselves once again confronted with a local drama with a very general title: No Other Woman. Should we watch or just move along? No Other Woman is about Ram (Derek Ramsay), a struggling businessman out to prove that he&#39;s better than his father, who left him when he was still a child. Married to the supportive Cha (Cristine Reyes), he finally gets a break when a resort gets interested in sourcing furniture from him. However, complications arise when he becomes attracted to Cara (Anne Curtis), the carefree daughter of the resort&#39;s owner. Although I took a jab at the film title earlier, it actually helps us identify right away that the movie is about a love triangle. More than the love triangle concept, it tackles the issue of adultery. If there&#39;s one thing that Filipino cinema is good at, it is knowing that the target audience loves drama. The plot is somehow predictable but many people will be able to relate to this movie, which will translate to box office success. The film does not sensationalize the consequence of starting an affair but shows how it will always lead to betrayals and heartaches. The relationship between Ram and his father was mentioned frequently during the movie but oddly enough, I feel it wasn&#39;t given resolution. One feature that is hard to miss out in No Other Woman is the dialogue. The character conversations make you listen and cringe at the same time. For example, the emotion of the story is fully conveyed in the words they say to each other, and it would be impossible for someone not to understand what is going on if she just listens. However, there are some questionable items that the scriptwriters should take note of. There is a scene where Ram and Cha are in the balcony; Ram is being dramatic about how his father-in-law is never satisfied about what he does and suddenly the word &quot;bayag&quot; flies into the air like it&#39;s the most logical thing to say. Almost every sentence involves a simile or a metaphor, and although some are really effective, others seem forced. From using seafood to picking the right type of bed, this movie takes the cake in saying something else than what is actually meant. Seeing the trio in action with their ripped bodies and perfect faces kind of reminds me of an FHM shoot. However, it would not only be mean to say that No Other Woman is just a venue to show how hot these stars are but also untruthful. There is actually meat to their performance, and although their acting will not win them any awards, it can elicit enough sympathy from the viewers. Cristine Reyes is my favorite lead in this film. I think she is able to pull off the simple housewife attitude plus her transformation into a devious little bitch. For some reason, I did find myself sniggering at her dramatic monologue near the end of the movie, but hey, maybe that is just me. Anne Curtis, on the other hand, has really grown as an actress. I can hardly believe she started out in GMA&#39;s teen show T.G.I.S where she couldn&#39;t even speak straight Filipino and had shaky acting ability. Special mention should be given to Carmi Martin, who plays Cha&#39;s mother. She is the comic relief, and she does well in easing the tension with her hilarious lines and expressions. So, after all that explanation, should you watch &quot;No Other Woman?&quot; Well, if you&#39;re looking for Grade A material, try another movie. If you&#39;re looking for heavy drama and you are a fan of these actors, then by all means, watch it. You won&#39;t be disappointed.

No Other Woman

After 2 years, I&#39;m back; and before that there was nothing. I am forced out of my self-imposed Filipino movie exile to share my two cents about the new movie everybody in town is talking about: No Other Woman. The movie stars ABS-CBN&#39;s Derek Ramsey as the philandering husband of Cristine Reyes, and Anne Curtis as the fighting mistress. Other cast members include Tirso Cruz III and others, who clearly lent their names to the posters for the money. Firstly, how many movies were made with this same movie title? Secondly, how many other movies were created, sans the movie title, with the same premise about a philandering husband? These questions asked tells us that this movie has absolutely nothing new to offer the movie-going public. The premise is commonplace: a self-confessed ex-playboy breaks his personal vows as he falls for the luscious traps of a femme fatale. However, the events and occurrences that shape the twists of the story are near impossible-to-fantastical: after having his way with both his wife and his mistress, he became confused as to which girl to choose, while the women fight over him in catty, epic cliché 80&#39;s dialogue proportions. Suddenly, In true Deus Ex Machina style, the story finishes with an out-of-place tragic realization. The hype surrounding the movie was blown out of proportion and near destructive that left a very bad taste in my mouth. My other distaste probably came from the fact that that there&#39;s absolutely nothing I can relate to in the movie: not the setting, the premise, and absolutely not the characters. The beauty of La Union is unmistakable, but none of us own a resort there... Well, maybe a fraction of a percent of the entire population. The story, as said before, is very commonplace; just look around for a married friend or a co-worker who still tries to hit on that new-hired chick, and if he succeeds, look at their miserable wives and you will know that these people are who this movie&#39;s market audience are. The fantastical destroyer of suspension of disbelief is that affairs like this almost always DO NOT end happily; so there goes your reality right there. Some might say that it is only a movie, but how the story went is just too ridiculous to be enjoyed. Most of the time I was slapping my forehead, scoff- laughing, and shaking my head; and then I was playing &#39;Snake III&#39; on my mobile phone. I kept asking myself: &quot;Who talks like that?&quot; I&#39;ve seen a personal debate or two but I have never heard anybody argue cinematically. This movie is owned by the three lead actors, and as said before, the supporting actors are clearly unimportant; their roles should create a ground for reality as they give 3-sentence advices to make things extra-confusing. However, put them in or remove them and nothing changes. The only good thing that came out of this story would be Ms. Curtis&#39; acting. Who would&#39;ve thought that the teeny-bopping, lollipop wielding little darling would grow up and be taught to act? She&#39;s thousands of light years away from when she left GMA Artist Center, and in turn they must really be kicking their own asses for letting her go; or is it that they really do not invest in acting classes for their actors? That being said, I would say that &#39;No Other Woman&#39; is definitely not worth the fare. What should have been a quest for the filmmakers to create an unforgettable, timeless movie in the vein of 80&#39;s dramas such as the ones created by Bernal and Brocka turned out to be a forgettable, moneymaking fad to keep the movie department afloat. We are way better off watching a stress-free, feel good movie like &#39;Dolphin Tale&#39; after a long day of work. Some of us need not reminded of the stresses in our lives.

I usually like movies that have unusual plot and unpredictable ending. No Other Woman was nothing like that. The trailer gave away most of the story, even the fact that most of the dialog were fun and quirky. However, to truly appreciate the effort that the film makers have put into the movie, one must watch it. The story was not that grand. This is not the first time an &quot;adultery- themed&quot; movie has been a hit in the Philippines. There were many unresolved issues in the movie, Ram&#39;s issue with his dad, Ram&#39;s issue with Cha&#39;s dad, Kara&#39;s issue with her dad, etc. However, the main point of the story was addressed, and I think that was what&#39;s important. The writers probably deliberately left off the minor issues for the people to conclude. The cinematography was very satisfactory. The skies were red during Kara and Ram&#39;s scenes together, depicting a fiery, passionate, illicit love affair. On the other hand, the skies were bleak and gray during Kara&#39;s heartbreak moments. It is commendable that they have put enough effort in the movie to play around with other elements aside from the physical appearance and acting of the actors. The actors did not perform the absolute best by far, but their acting was solid and believable. The movie may not be awards-worthy, but it is worth every penny you will pay for.

STORY.... LIGHTING... Music... Script!! A complete fail. Can&#39;t understand why such an amateur flick is rated 6 3 in here. I watched countless pinoy movies, more ore less entertaining. Buy this one was beyond imagination.

Hi, This is by far one of the best movies I have seen from The Philippines! The story was good because it showed a realistic portrayal of how men and women act naturally in the business world. It also contains a lot of advice for both women and men in already good relationships of how to avoid this from happening to you. This movie shows the nature of many women and how they get involved with an already busy man in the Eastern part of the world. I&#39;ve lived there myself and the same thing happened to me many times. I&#39;m now happy with one woman too! Haha. Enjoy this! You won&#39;t get bored. 9/10. I&#39;m a Swedish man living with my Fillipina fiancé and she highly recommended we watched this movie. Michael
