One More Chance is a film that redeems John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo after being involved in a disastrous film entitled,Close To You. The story involves a couple that intends to be together for the rest of their life but they were presented instead with numerous obstacles that would test their love for each other to the fullest. Will their love for each other overcome the trials and difficulties that they both face? Your guess is as good as mine. In the end, both lovers fulfill their love and commitment for each other. The movie ends.This love story has been told for over and over again in the big screen. Indeed, unpredictability is not a issue in this film. The acting of the movie is okay considering that both leads have been involved in other movies before. Their chemistry is a lot better as compared in the past. But overall, this film remains a typical love story that has been told in many movies so there is not something totally new and refreshing. Aside from that, all the elements of a romantic film are present.

"One More Chance" is a chick flick, no doubt about. As a guy watching this, you just sit there and get annoyed, especially because the movie is about 2 hours long and tastes literally forever to get nowhere.The storyline can be summarized with nine words: lovers break up, lovers hurts, lovers get back together.Popoy (played by John Lloyd Cruz) is engaged to be married to Basha (played by Bea Alonzo). But Basha is being suffocated in the relationship and calls it off, needing time to be alone. Separated, they have to find their own legs in a world without one another.The storyline is straight forward for a movie of this genre. There is nothing new to be seen here really. And as such, then the movie doesn't really impress. However, I am sure that you will eat the storyline right up if you are a woman.I will say that Bea Alonzo did a good job with her role, as did John Lloyd Cruz, but you sit there and get really annoyed with his character, especially as he is so self-centered, narrow-minded and turns into a spiteful stalker of sorts. It is not the actor's fault, it is simply the character in the story that was a sissy joke.This movie did have some good points and moments here and there, but ultimately, it was a struggle to get through the nearly two hours the movie dragged on for.This is a sappy love story for a woman audience. Guys and gents, you might want to find something else to put on. Definitely not one of Philippines cinema finest moments.

One of the few Filipino films that is really great. Storyline is very good! It's a romantic movie that would melt your heart and also sometimes break it :-) It shows the in's and out's of a relationship and the couples struggles to work it out.Life is all about second chances which this movie truly proves. Sometimes we don't see the good in people unless we let them go. I remember reading an old saying "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be."What can I say? Love is definitely sweeter the second time around!

One more chance is on of those familiar story lines that we've heard, seen and encountered before. Star Cinema, the movie outfit of TV network, ABS-CBN, has presented yet, another love/melodrama/romantic comedy/drama that, as a viewer of their TV arm, has seen over and over before. Anyways, I'm not gonna dwell on the story, because there's nothing new, but I must commend the director for the able and fresh take she took on the movie. I love the close-ups, it doesn't feel like a stage play, and she knows how to get out to a medium or wide shot when needed. As for the debit side, the editing could have been improved, again, the unnecessary and over use of the theme song in the montage and dramatic moments, some parts in the script where the characters "reveal" to the audience information, cliché scenes on Popoy's being controlling and the ineffective use of secondary characters, I mean, James Blanco, why was he blind? So, they could use the pun in "the love is blind" sign on Basha's tshirt? Really, I don't get the point? They could've used the secondary characters more, not just as caricatures or comic relief. Remember they are characters! They should have a purpose in the story. Not like what Dimples Romana's role of giving out the message of the story, c'mon! The message or the lesson in a story is better shown not told.
