7.5/10 is my rating. This is a 120 minute Filipino romantic comedy movie. Also called “The Bet.”

Drake Sison (Enrique Gil) is known for being a highly sought after ladies’ man. He and his best friend, AndreI (Yves Flores) are constantly making bets which often enter around the opposite sex. Though he often loses to Drake, Andrew thinks he has come up with the bet he is sure to win, Drake must make the not so popular new girl, Sophia Taylor (Liza Soberano) fall for him in 30 days or declare Andrei the winner. Drake thinks, piece of cake, after all what woman has been able to resist his charms? He soon finds he may have met his match and losing the bet may be the least of his worries.

Spoiler ** I did not hate this for what it was a very light, predictable, teenage romantic comedy. If you’re out for just light and fluffy and something you don’t have to think about at all then this might fit the bill. To me the girl was never all that ugly or nerdy and I could clearly tell with a little make up and a different hairstyle she was very beautiful actually. That made her not the best fit for the role because she was supposed to be sort of Undateable looking. Although it was predictable I did like the fact that the girl was way more complex than the lead guy had imagined and it was that very complexity that drew him to her and made her different than other girls he dated. It was quite cheesy and some parts almost cringey but I think part of that must be cultural because other Filipino romances I have seen have been equally cringe worthy and cheesy. I knew what I was getting into when I read the plot so I wasn’t completely surprised about anything and for me it was sort of what I was looking for that day. It was definitely a good one to watch with my 10-year-old granddaughter as it was a very innocent romance in fact I don’t even remember them truly kissing just their lips getting close. So I would say good not great but if you’re looking for something light and where you can sort of auto pilot this could be it.
