Movie Review: The Breakup Playlist – 2015 Film

Review: The Breakup Playlist (Film) – A Movie Fan Review

The lead actor and actress in this movie are both popular actors here in the Philippines. So I decided to watch this movie to see what flavor does Sarah-Piolo love team can give. Plus I really love their cover of the song “Paano ba ang magmahal?” in english, it means “How do we give love?”. I just can’t stop singing the song over and over again.

Well, let me start by saying that the movie is just a feel good movie for me. Just like a normal Filipino movie offers to their viewers. You feel the love, cry with the character, and sink in with the story. I am a music lover so I may say that I am entertained in this movie through the songs. However, I felt a little less with regards to effort on creating new songs for the movie. The same songs kept playing and playing on the entire movie. Love team chemistry? Surprisingly check! I feel them. The movie is good but I think it is not the type of movie that you will always remember. It is just a typical love story that conflicts happen because of pride and insecurities. In addition, I would like to commend Sarah and Piolo for their perfect portrayal of their characters in the movie.

Would I recommend this movie?
If you want to see Sarah and Piolo on screen. Then go for it.

My Personal Rating: 5/10
