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.
