BROKEN HEARTS' TRIP

Broken Hearts’ Trip (MMFF 2023)

Directed by: Lemuel Lorca

5 brokenhearted individuals

join a contest for the million-peso prize.

Who will win?

Pilipinas ang panalo rito dahil nabigyang pansin ang mga magaganda nating lugar at tanawin.

The aerial shots showing the tourist spots are beautiful. Seeing Mount Banahaw in Quezon Province was relaxing. Watching the characters dive into the Kawasan Falls in Cebu makes you want to join them. Them rafting through the Magdalena white river in Laguna was enticing.

Christian Bables had a good portrayal although nothing new and surprising. Marvin Yap unleashes all his emotions whenever possible. Andoy Ranay fits the role of being a villain. Iyah Mina had a sincere performance but her exposure was too brief to make an impact.

Kahit maayos umarte ang ilang artista, hindi nila naisalba ang buong pelikula. Kahit maganda ang mga lugar na napuntahan nila, hindi pa rin maganda ang buong pelikula.

Hindi nakakatawa ang karamihan sa mga jokes. Hindi exciting panuorin ang show nila. Parang walang contest na nangyayari. Hindi naipapakita ang mga ganap sa harap at likod ng kamera.

Walang continuity ang script. Pinagdugtong-dugtong lang ang mga eksena. Hindi nakwento nang maayos ang istorya ng bawat karakter. Ambilis nilang magpatawad at mainlove. Walang nabubuong samahan. Wala kang halos maramdaman sa mga eksena dahil ang tamlay at ang lungkot ng pagkakagawa.

May kaunting trip trip na nangyari.

Pero hindi masyadong nakakatawa

at hindi rin nakaka-broken-heart ang pelikula.
