Hello, Stranger: The Movie (2021)
The Representation PH Needs
This movie is both a romantic comedy and coming-of-age film. Petersen Vargas and Dwein Baltazar team up to spark a rollercoaster of emotions. It picks up where the series left off, and the story unravels as the movie progresses.
If I'm being frank and nitpicky, the movie is not the most innovative in its plot, but it compensates in the way all the characters carry the storyline. There are lots of funny, lighthearted moments as well as scenes that will break your heart. Both Tony and JC convey love outside the heteronormative bubble with such reverence and authenticity (although I personally wish there was more fluff and less drama).
I highly recommend watching the series beforehand as it really helps establish the characters. Where it lacks in plot, it sure makes up in character development. Makakilig at magiiyak kayo for sure! Kaya panoorin niyo na!
