That Kind of Love (2024)

It Delivers Light-Hearted, Unpretentious Storytelling and Palpable Chemistry Between BarDa

Why You Should Watch It Now

1. It showcases the undeniable & sizzling ✨ chemistry between Barbie and David that joyously ? transcends from TV to the big screen. Even the seniors in the cinema where I watched it can't help but giggle whenever they have confrontation scenes. ?

2. It's a romantic ? comedy that serves on point yet very tense?and butterflies-in-the-stomach inducing conversations between the main leads - you would wish you were there in the scene with them. ?? The yacht scene is my favorite. I wish Adam and Mila would stay in that yacht until they produce 12 kids together. ? ?

But, seriously, that yacht-long conversation scene can make your heart tremble and your knees weak. ? David has really mastered the subtle acting art. Every nuance, expression, gesture, and vocal delivery of someone who's falling in love - HE BLOODY NAILED IT.

3. Barbie Forteza wears so many beautiful dresses ? in this movie. She officially ended ? her teen-girl persona era while she struts around wearing all those chic and fashionable outfits.

4. Some scenes are filmed in South Korea. ? They added a more romantic ambiance ✨ to the whole story.

5. No villains, no side stories, the whole movie is all about how love finds Adam and Mila. ?

6. No poverty porn! Yes! It depicts the Philippines positively, showing affluent places and decent working and dwelling spaces for the female lead. I hate it when Filipino movies keep on showcasing poverty porn.

My only complaint is that it's TOO short despite being a 2-HOUR-PLUS LONG movie. I wanted more. It's BITIN! It's not enough for me ? ?
