This Valentines Day 2018, Regal
Entertainment proudly present an unforgettable story of finding true love in
different shapes and forms. Starring today’s hottest loveteam Janella Salvador
and Elmo Magalona, “My Fairy Tail Love Story” is about a mermaid trying to find
love to prove that true love truly exists. Fortunately, I was invited to watch
the VIP Screening held last Tuesday at the Director’s Club of SM Megamall. I’m
going to share with you my review.
Some may think that it’s just another girly-chic-flic-type
of movie,well, I could say that this is not your ordinary fairy tale love story
or another mermaid story, watchout for the twist of the story. I’m not sure
though how audience will react once they saw the ending since we have distinct
perspective. Ang tapang ng pelikula para baliin ang usual na fairy tail love story.
The movie has a sweetness and innocence that makes it near perfect
entertainment for its target audience.
The movie avoids seeming coy and doesn’t
flinch from taking on serious issues that illustrate that life isn’t all fluff
even for the young. Chantel (Janella Salvador) is from a broken family, a
spoiled brat who was cursed to be a mermaid after she disturbed corals under
the sea. With the help of her best friend Noah (Elmo Magalona), she goes on a
journey to find her Prince Charming, thinking that the spell can only be broken
by true love’s kiss. However, soon she realizes that love is not as simple as
fairy tales make it out to be.
The tandem of Janella and Elmo shines. Ang
lakas ng chemistry nila onscreen, Sobrang bagay. I love their cute scenes like
when Janella’s character is naked and Elmo needs to remove his shirt, super
cute 😊 Janella perfectly fits the role of Chantel. Effortless ang acting. Both
Salvador and Magalona showed their maturity as an actor, especially on their
“car scene” sobrang heartbreaking ng scene. Tagos ang linyahan. Favorite movie
line ko yun “Between love at first sight and they lived happily ever after,
there is REALITY”. OMG! Very true. Ang tanong ng bayan na dapat abangan, since
Chantel believes that true loves kiss ang makakatanggal ng sumpa, may Kissing
scene ba ang ElNella???
Though this is an Elnella movie, Kiko
Estrada shared equal exposure on the film. He is very charming as Ethan and very masculine ang dating.
The special effects in the movie are very
sophisticated and real looking. The jelly fish looks real and there are scenes
where the mermaid tail looks like it’s an actual part of Chantel. Another
enjoyable feature of the movie is the setting. It takes place in a beautiful
beach, shot in Zambales and Pangasinan, where they swim with turtles/pawikans
and other sea creatures. The fact that it takes place in a beach makes it a
very relaxing and serene type of movie.
In the beginning we
believe that the only way to prove that love exists is a romantic love. But
there are many types of love that can be as proving and strong. Like a love you
feel for a friend or family. That’s what the movie itself will tells you.
Sometimes the love between friends and family are more evident than a romantic
love. The way that the movie portrays the plot about love and friendship are
accurate in real life situations.
“My Fairy Tail Love Story’s” simple message
about love is refreshingly realistic, particularly in the context of a fairy
tale fish-out-of-water story.
