Sleepless because of Miss You Like Crazy
Not of awe definitely. But because I searched my mind on what was so thought-provoking about this film (as claimed by Star Cinema).

But after 5 minutes of pondering, I know I was wasting my time. This was a notch lower than One More Chance. Nothing new and very formulaic.
I’m guilty of loving John Lloyd too much that even knowing beforehand that I won’t find anything mind-blowing about this film or jaw-dropping on how each actors will portray their character, I went with Dettie to watch the film after the work.
John Lloyd is really good at acting. But that was a given, right? Especially if you’re given these stereotyped characters to portray for years already. Heck, he’s a master for this type of character. But as Simon Cowell puts it on AI contestants, “you’re playing safe”.
Bea is too pretty in this film. That when she scrunches up her face when crying, I can’t help but go, “oooh, turning ugly now? Can’t you cry without scrunching your face?”
I find Maricar really good. The breathless saying of “Are you breaking up with me?” Applause, applause! And the other supporting characters are also good. But Maricar was stunning.
My problem with the film is that John Lloyd’s character has no balls. If not for the brother of his girlfriend who wants to marry someone he’s with for only 3 months, he does not realize that love could happen in an instant and you don’t need years to fall and be in love. If not for Sid Lucero’s character meeting on Feb 24, he won’t get his hopes up and go to the meeting place. Although I get it that they did not meet there and ended up meeting at the house, maybe to tell the viewers, “See, it’s the right time. Kung uukol, bubukol.”
Good thing about this film is that John Lloyd’s face is always showing up at the screen so I got my money’s worth.
