Review of It Takes a Man and a Woman (2013) by Jonie H — 02 Apr 2013
Am now a certified Sarah G fan! As in ... am amazed at how she has grown from being cutely funny to naturally funny :) And her drama moments are right on the spot so please and hopefully, besides Box Office, there will be an award nomination somewhere.
JLC is not as intense as say..the Mistress but still intense nonetheless. I am not really a JLC shipper but heck, the doe-eye look makes me wonder how SG was able to hold her fort - must have ended up with too much takes. As it is, he's on his typical self that you can't hate. Just one look - sheesh, what anger? what hate?
I have a very high expectations on this last installment. (and I never thought there will be a last one). Especially after having to wait for days to watch and hearing the raves from folks and to quote a friend "better than 1 and 2"..whoa! It is hard to compartmentalize and bring expectation down. Yet, it delivered. Everyone delivered - from the support (Gio, Joross, Matet) to the main (JLC and SG). Indeed, will laugh and cry and laugh and cry. There are even moments which if you are more observant that you will wonder if they are actually acting at all because they are so genuine and natural on what they do. Yes, the chemistry is there and inexplicable. (Side note - I hope they will have another movie...the public am sure will not be weary of another story!).
What I like most with this last is the growth of them as individuals (yes, I like 2.0 better hehe) and as a couple. I like that they are of equal footing in the relationship at this point - both hurt, both still loving, and both figuring out how to move on and back. There are just so much family moments too (JLC family, SG family) that added more sniffles to me. So net, that's the total picture for you - the full circle from couple hood to family to work/career. While Part 2 is too frou-frou, I think this one is more sane/realistic and "fair play" hence making this better than Part 2 and more than Part 1.
Inserting NYC in the story is cherry on the top for me. Nuff said.
So now am confused...JLC/SG or GA/SG?!
P.S. Isabelle Daza is so elegant - damn! Even with the exit - she's so hot damn!
