Movie Review: Love Me Tomorrow
Image courtesy of www.starcinema.abs-cbn.com
Cast: Piolo Pascual, Dawn Zulueta, Coleen Garcia
Director: Gino Santos
Rating: PG
Produced by: Star Cinema
The movie is a romantic light drama that delves into the love journey of three generations.There are issues which are real and happening but owing to their sensitive nature, are rarely discussed. They are in fact often labeled as taboo.
"Love Me Tomorrow" is a generational love story of its three lead characters. JC (Piolo Pascual) is a man who, at 35 still leads a happy- go-lucky life as a DJ (disc jockey), Janine (Coleen Garcia), a young socialite blogger who covers up her life’s emptiness through all night partying, and Christy (Dawn Zulueta) as a desirable 50-year old widow whose success as a fashion designer leaves a kind of void that needed filling up.
Taking center stage as well are the Tita’s of Manila (a spoof of the social culture of mostly middle-class aunts in Manila) composed of Carmi Martin and friends who love clubbing and partying and yes, dating men.
Liberated Carmi invites Dawn to her group and urges her to have a second chance at life (read: love life) after being recently widowed. The movie presents the supposedly conservative Christy going and playing along with the very much married but flirty Carmi’s kind of fun.
As if on cue, JC meets the beautiful Christy in a not-so-pleasant accidental encounter. As these accidental encounters become more frequent, their careers intertwine in the process, along with Janine’s who was previously JC’s friend (with benefits).
Unknowingly, despite of, or maybe because of their age difference, JC and Christy begin falling for each other amidst conflict brought in by Janine who is still very much into JC. As if to assuage Christy’s fears, JC assures her that Janine is no more than a ‘fubu’ (fuck buddy) as he labels it – but in reality is a no-label connection.
Christy tries to be circumspect but love wins for her and JC…for a while. Sure JC knows which buttons to press to endear himself to her even more. What can be more charming than making Christy’s favorite song his audition piece for a DJ in her upcoming fashion launch.
The movie’s concept is supposedly a refreshing one for Dawn whose comedic timing is quite commendable. Her silly scenes with Piolo and Carmi are a natural. Unfortunately, the plot comes off as weak, with pacing and editing that leave the audience confused at times, notably in most of its dramatic scenes.
Some scenes would have created more impact had they been better thought of in terms of execution and delivery. The effort is there, but it's clearly not enough.
As a whole, "Love Me Tomorrow" is a good enough vehicle for Dawn to try a different track at this point in her career. But just like her role in the movie, her image should not be compromised. Her fans may not be ready for it yet. Indeed, age should not limit you to do what you want - but with responsibility.
Meanwhile, it can't be denied that Coleen's acting has matured in terms of depth. Her looks is a much-appreciated bonus, a refreshing, natural beauty.
As for Piolo, he needs to be more convincing in his dramatic scenes, most of which come off as unnatural. But in the looks department, the hunk is as desirable as ever without even trying, always a visual treat for girls and gays alike.
By the way, the MTRCB is quite lax in giving this movie a PG rating with all those sexy scenes and language fit only for adult consumption.
"Love Me Tomorrow" also stars Freddie Webb, Maxene Magalona, Anna Abad Santos, now showing in cinemas.

Thin Line Between Protecting and Meddling
With faith and persistence, CC reached her dream. The hard work she gave as well as her patience paid off and soon, she was living her dream. The instant fame gave her much recognition and more attention that she could ever dream of. With popularity came being noticed by all sorts of people, from ordinary admirers to famous personalities in their fields. Despite the attention, CC remained grounded and refused to be distracted.
As Oscar Wilde stated, there are only two tragedies in life. One is not getting what you wish for and the other is getting what you wished for. In the case of CC, she got what she had wished for, but in the process, the personalities of people around her are clashing. Thus, living her dream means she could not get the best of everything.
When Gorgeous Fellow (GF), a celebrity in his own right, became smitten with CC, he did what any lovestruck person would do. GF pursued CC and as confident and as secure as he is in his world, he established a close relationship with CC. While the followers loved the idea of GF apparently pursuing CC and getting to know as much of her as he could, Distant Kin (DK) allegedly was not at all pleased.
The public came to assume that something was developing between CC and GF because of social media. Being public personalities, CC and GF would leave straightforward or sometimes cryptic messages in their accounts. Nonetheless, most followers became curious as to the identity of GF and most left positive messages for him to read. However, DK was allegedly not supportive of GF and CC. Some noticed that DK would post messages questioning the intention of GF and was even said to have had accused him of riding on the clout of CC.
Meanwhile, followers who knew of DK were divided between her seeming intention to protect CC or her meddling into what could be good PR or even the deepening of the relationship between the two. Thus, in the course of several days, CC would make obvious changes in her social media accounts. Being a public account, followers knew if CC had cut ties with GF or not. Sadly, what stuck most in the minds of the fans following the saga of CC and GF is that DK’s alleged actions seemed unbecoming for CC.
