n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreI really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
... View MoreThe film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreGot 2 Believe is one of the best Romantic-Comedy Filipino movie of all time because of it's plot, soundtrack, cinematography and the performances of Claudine Barretto and Rico Yan. You will love characters such as Lorenz's sidekick Rudolph (Vhong Navarro) and Toni's bestfriend Karen (Nikki Valdez) and Perry (Dominic Ochoa). Every scene with Lorenz and Toni are funny and sweet and the acting of each actors are so realistic that's why i love this movie so much. I recommend this movie!
... View MoreCheers for the last Rico Yan movie, ever! Hearing that this was a certified box-office smash in the Philippines and also notified of Yan's immediate death, I had to see this for myself. My girlfriend took the effort on renting the VHS format of 'Got 2 Believe.' As I noted in another pilipino movie review, I could not understand much of the film's dialogue since it was spoken vastly in the pilipino dialect known as tagalog. But with some help from my girlfriend as well as part of the dialogue having 10% english-speaking, I was getting it a bit. In addition, the body emotions and attitudes of the characters also let me know the whole portion to the story. The synopsis of the movie was pretty good. [SOME SPOILERS HERE] There's this bridesmaid (Claudine Barreto) who always get down on her luck in finding the right guy. With the help of a fellow photographer (Rico Yan) whom she knew since she was little, yet she doesn't find him to be romantic enough. Both characters are totally opposite. Feelings start to emerge as he starts helping her out find the right guy. With one kiss and in arms during one scene of the movie, he is drawn to her. The bad part is that he (Yan) is setting her up with one of his friends from California (played by Dominic Ochoa). You'll have to see the rest of the movie to see how the plot will develop. Could Rico's character win her heart? Or will one of Rico's friends take the ode of opportunity away from him? It gets down to the wire. On a humorous note, actor Vhong Navarro plays Rico's sidekick in this movie. His performance could almost mirror close to a Jim Carrey-type of personality. He can certainly make a person laugh if they watch this movie. The soundtrack is also powerful. It's been a hot best-seller back home in the Philippines. The Rico Yan-Claudine Barreto version of the song 'Got 2 Believe' strikes a chord with fellow romantic crooners there. Rico Yan will forever be remembered in the eyes of many and this film shows a fitting tribute to his short-life on the acting scene. God bless him.
