Last Valentine’s Day, we watched the movie “Starting Over Again” starring Piolo Pascual as Marco and Toni Gonzaga as Ginny. It was a different kind of love story. It was hilarious and at the same time it was a heart full of emotions. I think most of the people can relate to the story, especially to the people who have an old flame and called it “the-one-who-got-away”.

The movie started when Ginny received an email from a site called LetterLater, it was sent by Marco 4 years ago. So the message was old news from an old flame. It made Ginny a little bit hopeful that Marco still loves her. Then, they received an offer to remodel an old house to become a restaurant. When they saw the client, it was Marco. So the story begins…

The verdict

The storyline was not your typical love story and I like it. Writers here in our country are becoming adventurous and being true to reality. The movie is very relatable, it is close to reality. Please revive the local movie industry. I think enough of copying storyline from other countries, Filipinos want unique and an expected one. I am delightful that our country is producing nice quality movies. I hope we continue doing this. Let us support our own movie industry.

Going back to the movie, I will praise Piolo and Toni for doing such a good job portraying the characters very well. I cried at the scene when Marco (Piolo Pascual) went out of his car, running to Ginny’s house crying and begging not to go to the airport. Damn! Super kawawa.. I pity him. Anyways, It’s been a while since Piolo got a blockbuster movie; I think this is other big step for him to the spotlight. I have nothing to say bad about this movie. It is directed very well by Olivia Lamasan. I want to congratulate them for the success and for earning 150million in four days! Wow!
