My Ex and Whys (2017) Reviews

• To forgive & forget

  mamanarafan2017-06-22

  My ex & whys make me believe the power of love, bow to forgive and how to forget, the story very usual, but its deep. Everyone knows about broken heart feeling. I've been Cali before, and i've been in Gio position before. I'm not Filipino, but the actors delivered very well, even without saying anything (especially for Enrique Gil). The girl, LIza Soberano, very beautiful person. What the writer thoughts to make Cali's dialog "am i not enough? Am I not pretty?" Even though you're pretty, you still dumped

• terrible plot

  stephenfranada2019-03-08

  I usually give Filipino Rom/coms some passes when it comes to the plot, but the plot of this is in excusable. The main character GIO was raped, and then this was seen as cheating. They used male rape as a cheap out rather than going deeper to what it really was. They should have just had him cheat out right and show character growth that he changed.

• Fun, CLICHE, but fun!

  The movie has the general set up to becoming a potential, "TYPICAL" romantic comedy but it doesn't. To be honest this Filipino romantic comedy was a pleasing experience as it lived up to a nice story and fulfilling ending. The acting was good, a lot of characters so it does get hard to keep up on the supporting cast but the leads were good. They had chemistry and kept me interested with their story. The dynamics worked. The cinematography was okay. Some shots seemed very different in a lot of scenes, which at times breaks the flow and pacing of the movie. Although, the shots in South Korea were pleasing to the eye. An overall fun romantic comedy. Relatable and not terrible. A big 7 out of 10. Maybe a longer running time would add more to the supporting characters and fix the pacing a little but overall enjoyed this movie.

• One of the worst Filipino film in recent memory

  reybenipayo2017-06-15

  "My Ex and Whys" is nothing but a rehashed and recycle formula from all the Filipino ROM-com films. If you never seen a Filipino ROM-com film then you might like this. Everything is in the air a character break up and falling in love again, a main characters friends who frequently voices what to do, a tourist place where characters visit or if not fun moments there, a quotable lines where characters throwing to the audience and a chasing scene at the last film. The acting might be OK , even the cinematography but as a whole I find the film so awful as an escapism film. I think both Liza Soberano and Enrique Gills needs much better film than this. This is one of the worst Filipino Film I've seen in recent memory!

• Incomparable tandem

  eugeneliverest2018-10-25

  LizQuen is definitely one of the best love teams. Their pretty faces complement their roles. While the film is not deep or something new, the two deliver and exceed the expectations, the way that only few love teams can sustain.
