for the first time.

my mom decided to watch the kc concepcion - richard gutierrez movie and i offered to go with her... hoping that it would be a well-written, well-directed and well-acted film. i was already sure that the scenery would be great, as i heard it was partially shot in santorini (greece).

well, i wasn't let down. the movie was actually pretty good. save for a few awkward, weird moments -- most of it was easy to watch. it was a good mix of romance, comedy and drama. i had no idea how the two leads would fare acting-wise, but they turned out to be pretty natural (not "OA" or trying-hard) actors.

thank goodness! i don't think i could stand watching another let down film like the last tagalog movie i saw a few months ago (will not reveal which one it was), which was very poorly directed and acted (except for the male lead).

i would recommend "for the first time" if you're up for a refreshing, feel good and not-so-formula kind of movie.

oh and... i super want to go to santorini, baby!!! (tara, mctravelbuddies!) :-)
