Movie Review: Love is Blind

Main Cast: Derek Ramsay, Solenn Heussaff, Kiray Celis and Kean Cipriano
Director: Jason Laxamana
MTRCB Rating: G

The movie centers its story on the beauty-challenged Fe/Felicity ( Kiray ), an NBZB or ‘no boyfriend since birth' girl.

Fe's predicament is not her choice, obviously, for she wants to love and be loved in return - desperately.

Then she meets Wade (Derek), and Fe's life is never the same again. She wants Wade so bad and will do everything to have him. Yari (Kian), Fe’s colleague who interestingly is into love potion business comes to the rescue. Together, the two become partners in crime, concocting all sorts of potions with one goal in mind – to get Wade for Fe, at all costs!

Meanwhile, Wade has personal issues of his own, too. A beauty and glamor- obssesse career guy, he is dissatisfied with his girlfriend Maggie (Solenn), who, although pretty, is too plain for his taste. She would not be a hot, trophy girlfriend he wants her to be. Add to that is Wade's father’s insistence that he takes up the cudgels and look after their farming and agriculture business, something that classy Wade detests so much.

Meanwhile, Yari’s love potions which Fe paid a fortune for start to take effect on Wade as he sees her very pretty and looking like the love of his life. Fe or Felicity as Wade loves to call her, naturally grabs the sudden manna from heaven. She not only wants to have Wade come into her life and reciprocate her feelings, but more! Did she succeed?

Well, the movie succeeds in its goal to elicit laughter, for indeed, the viewers are treated to a gamut of funny human emotion, to a kind of comedy that doesn't make fun of LGBT’s this time… at least that is refreshing.

The young director Jason Laxamana also succeeds in bringing out the best in Kiray’s generally OA brand of comedy, for she did deliver, to be fair. Ditto with ex-couple Derek and Solenn who apart from being 'delicious' to watch, are a natural, with hardly any awkwardness in their intimate scenes together. Now, that is a treat.

But the twists in the story will also make you think on how a supposedly middle-aged guy like Wade can be so unbelievably shallow in his choices and decisions in life, much like a confused fresh college graduate yet to prove his worth. Oh well…

In the end, how the protagonists will deal with their issues and the truth in between will take both predictable and surprising turns.

As a whole, with all the stress gripping us everyday, Love Is Blind is still well worth your time and popcorn.

Getting Her Share of the Dimsum

Image courtesy of www.freeimages.com

Depending on their image, celebrities are expected to behave in a certain way, which would serve as model behavior for fans who idolize them. For instance, an actress who often portrays roles of being bullied is expected to be a nice and kind person in real life. By contrast, the villain is often thought of as someone who is mean in reality. However, stereotypes are not always true, and most often, the impression celebrities make on media is not necessarily true for their behavior off cam.

When Seasoned Actress (SA) entered a restaurant in a posh hotel, all eyes were upon her. After all, despite the years, SA has maintained her youthful glow, which has given hope for young girls who wish to follow her footsteps to achieving her status. Although the restaurant was full and diners were expected to mind their own dishes, still, others could not help but glance at SA every so often. People are curious to find out if SA gorges out like ordinary mortals or if she remains prim and proper with every plate that she brings to her table.

Having been used to being observed, SA went around the restaurant like the typical diner. Some dishes were favored over others and naturally, SA picked the ones she liked. SA chose her food, sat at her table, and ate her food. As she seemingly behaved like everyone in a posh environment, everything seemed normal and other diners no longer minded that SA was a celebrity. Perhaps thinking that no one would bother to look her way, she did not realize someone saw her do the unthinkable. SA slipped a plate of dimsum in her bag. Then, she proceeded as though nothing happened. The act of SA was a bit shocking, especially because SA is a known celebrity and is considered to come from the upper echelons of society.

SA’s alleged behavior was so bold and risky for someone in her status. Imagine the embarrassing headlines if she had been caught with dimsum in her bag. The awkwardness would fall between hilarity and pity. Surely, it was not out of hunger that SA did that. Perhaps, she loved the dimsum that she only wanted to have some more when she gets home. Nonetheless, her action lacked class, which is the image she has built for so her many years in the limelight.

‘I really like the idea of being a bit unpredictable. I'm known for being a nice, easy-going person with a straightforward exterior. So I think a bit of me wants to be sort of sly and devious.’ - Mark Haddon
