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.

This movie represents typical Filipino generic trope - cheating and toxic relationship.

There are many plotholes like what happened to Matt? How did Zy met him? And is it justifiable to cheat when you're literally engaged? The feelings between Zy and Matt is close to non-existent to the point that you're even questioning how they got engaged in the first place. Matt's also not despisable since he's being professional at his work that would supposedly help Zy on her research. Kawawa pa nga siya eh.

This type of trope downgrades the image of Filipino movie developments. Their agruments are immature and illogical. It's like they just want to focus on making the audiences cry(tho it's hilarious for me) than making their plot consistent.

Lesson learned? Encourage cheating with others because of lOvE. At if you're caught doing it, just say "Sorry".

Sumabit lang ang movie dahil sa punyemas na love team. Kaya pala pabawas nang pabawas ang mga nanonood ng Filipino-related movies. Isa na ako jan, last ko na to.

This movie is a pain to watch; the main characters are written terribly, seemingly on purpose. The story doesn't make sense, and this movie is a waste of time. The only good thing about this movie is that it is shot well and has good camera work, just like all modern movies. Unfortunately, that doesn't save this story of disaster. This movie tries to make you root for these characters, but they are so selfish, with awkward moments that don't make sense. This movie's story goes back and forth between shallow apologies and regrettable mistakes. Don't waste your time with this movie, as this is another cash-grab movie that thinks it's so clever and deep about love and heartbreak but ends up falling terribly short. This movie is artificially shallow and is one of many examples of garbage movies that poorly represent Filipino cinema.

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.

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.
