Bride for Rent

A well known plot... but the charming of the main characters and light-hearted romance make you watch it though you know where the story goes.

Pros: Lead actors and their chemistry, light-hearted rom-com, the female lead character.

Cons: Acting of other characters were so animatic, but still ok, known plot.

It doesn't matter how many ways people have made Cinderella story, people still watch it that makes them feel good. So, known plot is not an issue here. Watch it just to be free from hectic time going around (writing in 2021). Btw, my first Filipino movie and it was good. Yeah!!! Isn't it amazing? Isn't it surprising? Isn't it exciting? ;-)

Certainly none of the characters will win any acting awards. Neither will the writing or direction. To kill a couple of hours without taxing your brain one iota, it's perfectly fine.

A young man trying to get at his inheritance hires a woman to play his bride. But though it's just supposed to be an act, things get unexpectedly real between them.

This is a great movie to watch with family, friends and even with your special someone, watch it in you home, office and even with your cellphone on your free time, a good story with the actor and actress portraying the roles are very effective and together with the supporting characters also good at their own scenes, more of this kind of movies in the future. Good stories good character representatiio and Thank you and God bless.

The story is pretty standard, and there's no denying that it's very predicable, it involves the usual romance, family dealings, and a bit of comedy. The movie felt rushed at times, the resolution of the main conflict is too easy and rushed. The acting is mostly competent, Kim Chiu is cute but she's over-the-top at times, and the chemistry between her and her co-star isn't that striking. The most poignant part of the movie is the interviews of different couples married for various lengths of time, they are moving and shows you what true love is all about. I also like the colorful cinematography and the soundtrack is quite nice.
