Another actor who was in the movie #ewankosau was Jon Lucas, who played the jock of the class - and he seems bigger in the movie than in his most recent pics online. He has really grown into a fine young man. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years, he'd go the Bench bikini route since he has the body for it! That will surely introduce him to a lot of new fans!
Well, in the movie, he doesn't do much except dance and be a spoiler to the love team of Barbie and Francis.
It's good to watch local movies once in a while. I get to discover new talents and new faces. Elisse Joson plays the karibal for Francis Magundayao's heart in the movie #ewankosau. It's not hard to miss her since she has quite a presence onscreen. I was actually rooting for her to get the guy! It's a pity her character is in love with someone who is in love with someone else. Maybe in the next movie, she gets a guy who's interested in her to make it more interesting for everyone.
It's good that there are several teenage love teams to go around, although some are more popular than others. Although the movie seems to sell the Barbie Forteza/Francis Magundayao love team, the other girl Elisse Joson is not bad either as his love team.
I actually find the leading man endearing, with those cute puppy-like eyes of his - and I think he can act. Barbie is not bad either but she seems 'bulkier' for Francis. Anyway, the movie is most like any teenage movie and the only interesting thing I found in it is the family of Francis' character - one of his 'brothers' is hot - the tisoy one! Even his mom and dad and especially the Lolo (played by Leo Martinez), was quite endearing.
Well, their fans will surely love this movie. I think more could've been done with Barbie's 'twisted' character. It was also great to see actors from my generation - Eric, Tonton and Alice!
