'In an age where there are discussions on legalizing divorce, a film like 'The Annulment' is counterproductive.' Planing to watch this film? Check out this Rappler review!

MAKING IT WORK. Joem Bascon and Lovi Poe stars as a couple, whose relationship is tested in 'The Annulment.' Screenshots from YouTube/Regal Entertainment IncThe film’s a run-of-the-mill infidelity flick that thinks its conceit of following through its worn-out narrative of marital strife would render it novel. It’s dead wrong. It just made it even more insufferable.A simple waiter gets close with a sophisticated pre-school teacher at a party.

After an uncreatively conceived chance encounter where in a highway of a thousands of speeding drivers, the two individuals from opposite ends of the social spectrum meet specifically to give the boy a chance to delight the girl with his blue-collar skills and appeal, the two eventually develop an attraction for each other, then fall in love, and finally get married.

Domestic issues start rearing their ugly heads. The boy starts feeling emasculated with the girl being the breadwinner and all. He starts to fool around with a friend of a friend , which climaxes in another uncreatively conceived encounter where the girl catches her husband and the mistress making out in her own home.

Unless one has a penchant for domestic clashes and bickering molded to pass of as entertainment, the film can be a very grating experience. It is oblivious to how relationship works, or how rational human beings navigate around disagreements and conflicts. Everything is just too contrived for any comfort.
