Miss You Like Crazy Movie Review
In the first quarter of the movie, I thought Sarah Geronimo would have done a better job as Mia Samonte in “Miss You Like Crazy“. The first few scenes showed a “cute” female lead character, so it was difficult for me not to imagine Sarah as the female lead. However, as the rest of the movie unfolds, I realized no one can do this better than Bea Alonzo. She is a powerful and intense actress, and the rest of the movie was just that — intense.
I would say that the movie was good, but I cannot say it was able to surpass the impact that “One More Chance” made. “One More Chance” also had John Lloyd Cruz (as Popoy) and Bea (as Basha) and it was also directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, so I expected much from this new project from what I consider a “power trio”. After all, their projects “Close to You” and “One More Chance” were great movies worth watching again and again.
I think the main strength of the movie was also its weakness. It focused on the reality that love is not the only reason for relationships to last or to end. They were probably right, but the romantic side of me (which is the one wanting to watch the movie, in the first place) would have preferred it another way – a way that shows how truly powerful love can be.
Anyway, the movie was still very good and worth watching — but I’m not sure I would want to watch it again. I think once is enough for me this time.
