I have been wanting to see For The First Time ever since i heard about it and saw it’s trailer. I love Richard Gutierrez and KC Concepcion. They’re both my crushes and they look good together. I was going to wait for the DVD release but on Tuesday, i just couldn’t help myself and went ahead and saw the movie.
What can i say about it? Hmm.. It was a pretty good movie. KC is a good actress, just like her mom. Richard is so hot! I miss him already. LOL. The storyline was good, it doesn’t end in they met, they fall in love, and that’s it. The movie showed that the relationship wasn’t perfect, and there were obstacles to overcome and they had to face problems. But in the end, they still ended up together.
I found the script a little too much though. They had to say their full names frequently which i think was stupid. You don’t really do that in real life. Or if you do, you don’t say it all the time. It is also a slow paced movie. Half-way through it i felt like it was taking too long to finish, not that i was in a hurry for it to end, but it was taking too long.
Oh, lastly, Philip Salvador as KC’s dad is not believable. Hindi bagay. They could have casted KC’s real dad, Gabby Concepcion, or someone else who’d make it work.
The US version to the Korean movie My Sassy Girl, was not that bad, but wasn’t as good as the original either. Elisha Cuthbert is very pretty, she did well with the role but i think they could have gotten someone who would fit the character more.
The movie was funny, I’ll have to see the original version again to make more comparisons.
I rate this movie 6 out of 10.
