Desertman84 One More Chance is a film that redeems John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo after being involved in a disastrous film entitled,Close To You. The story involves a couple that intends to be together for the rest of their life but they were presented instead with numerous obstacles that would test their love for each other to the fullest. Will their love for each other overcome the trials and difficulties that they both face? Your guess is as good as mine. In the end, both lovers fulfill their love and commitment for each other. The movie ends.This love story has been told for over and over again in the big screen. Indeed, unpredictability is not a issue in this film. The acting of the movie is okay considering that both leads have been involved in other movies before. Their chemistry is a lot better as compared in the past. But overall, this film remains a typical love story that has been told in many movies so there is not something totally new and refreshing. Aside from that, all the elements of a romantic film are present.

frequenzy One of the few Filipino films that is really great. Storyline is very good! It's a romantic movie that would melt your heart and also sometimes break it :-) It shows the in's and out's of a relationship and the couples struggles to work it out.Life is all about second chances which this movie truly proves. Sometimes we don't see the good in people unless we let them go. I remember reading an old saying "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be."What can I say? Love is definitely sweeter the second time around!

alijuly1st One more chance is on of those familiar story lines that we've heard, seen and encountered before. Star Cinema, the movie outfit of TV network, ABS-CBN, has presented yet, another love/melodrama/romantic comedy/drama that, as a viewer of their TV arm, has seen over and over before. Anyways, I'm not gonna dwell on the story, because there's nothing new, but I must commend the director for the able and fresh take she took on the movie. I love the close-ups, it doesn't feel like a stage play, and she knows how to get out to a medium or wide shot when needed. As for the debit side, the editing could have been improved, again, the unnecessary and over use of the theme song in the montage and dramatic moments, some parts in the script where the characters "reveal" to the audience information, cliché scenes on Popoy's being controlling and the ineffective use of secondary characters, I mean, James Blanco, why was he blind? So, they could use the pun in "the love is blind" sign on Basha's tshirt? Really, I don't get the point? They could've used the secondary characters more, not just as caricatures or comic relief. Remember they are characters! They should have a purpose in the story. Not like what Dimples Romana's role of giving out the message of the story, c'mon! The message or the lesson in a story is better shown not told.

jemps918 Basha (Bea Alonso) is an architect in the same firm as her fiancé Popoy (John Lloyd Cruz), who is an engineer. They belong to the same close-knit group of friends and have been together for five years until Basha gets fed up with Popoy's controlling but well-meaning ways and opts out of the relationship, building a new life for herself. Popoy goes on self-destruct mode but is later able to recuperate in the kind arms of Trisha (Maja Salvador). Basha realizes that he wants him back but things have already gotten too complicated.Executed Hollywood-style, One More Chance would have ended when the leads parted ways while revisiting their alma mater, leaving it up to the audience what happens next. The Hong Kong version would have ended with everyone dead. But since this is a Filipino movie, you pretty much know how this ends that won't merit a spoiler warning.And so movie theaters were packed, and rightfully so! I admittedly didn't expect much of this movie, so it was a pleasant surprise to see a local romantic comedy that delivers. I've never seen a Bea-John Lloyd starrer, but now I can agree with the general populace that the two have undeniable chemistry and are pretty natural actors. Despite John Lloyd not up to par in the looks department as Bea, he is likable, charismatic and adds sincerity to his role. Bea complements and does not overshadow John Lloyd despite her beauty because she doesn't seem too uptight about it; so, she is able to become the character she plays. The supporting cast, especially Salvador and the impossibly hot Derek Ramsay, helped fortify the story.Without a doubt, it was Popoy's bitter line, "You had me at my best; she loved me at my worst" that resonated with all those who has ever had their heart broken that filled the theaters; so memorable, it could probably even join the ranks of immortal lines ever uttered in Pinoy movies. While the trailer pretty much shows the entire movie, more welcome surprises await moviegoers as more unforgettable scenes and power lines are revealed. Sure, it's not original (note the rip-off/homage to Romeo+Juliet's Leo Dicaprio and Claire Danes' under-the-sheets action), and it had its melodramatic moments, but director Cathy Garcia-Molina injects humor in the nick of time.One More Chance is one good reason Pinoys should give the pelikulang Pinoy another chance at redeeming itself in its own context, on its own terms, without having to show the seedy side of Manila just to be taken seriously.
