Movie Review: Rosario

I’ve got 10 things to say about this movie:

1. Jennylyn Mercado’s acting in this movie was a little too bland for my taste.

2. This movie won Best Cinematography, but I found it kinda so-so when I watched the film on the big screen.

3. Dolphy really deserved his Best Supporting Actor award for this movie, for his final scenes were the only ones that really struck a chord in most viewers (based on collective reactions I gathered from fellow moviegoers that day.)

4. It would have been MUCH MUCH BETTER if Manny Pangilinan didn’t have to do a cameo in the movie.

5. The movie made me appreciate the trend in fashion back in the 1920’s.

6. Rosario is just your average periodic film around the block.

7. Musical score was good.

8. Albert Martinez was too ambitious to have come up with such a huge project like this for his debut directorial film.

9. With all the aggressive promotion to stir up hype about this movie, I found out much to my disappointment that it did not live up to my expectations.

10. Go spend your money on other MMFF entries.
