‘Write About Love’ review: More wrong than right

ODE TO SCRIPTWRITERS. 'Write About Love' is a story of scriptwriters trying to come up with a romantic story for a movie. All photos courtesy of TBA Studiosis not as a romance but as a personal – but sometimes alienating – ode to love.The film centers on an aspiring writer whose screenplay gets greenlit but with the condition that she allows a more experienced writer to assist her with the revisions. Expectedly, work bridges them close enough to be romantic.

Even sadder is how the film within the film, the very product of the main characters’ long nights of brainstorming, doesn’t contribute anything to its ambitions of fleshing out the complexities of love. The fictional romance of an engineer and a singer is bereft of any new insight about relationships, undoing what should have been a clever conceit of a blossoming romance between two creatives resulting into a work that represents newly learned experiences and realizations.

WORKING TOGETHER. The movie is the first time for actors Rocco Nacino and Miles Ocampo to work together.However, even with all its failures, it is difficult to dismiss the overwhelming earnestness that fuelsWhen the film doesn’t aspire for the common pleasures of a love story, it actually becomes quite sweet and meaningful.

DIFFERENT TANDEM. Yeng Constantino and Joem Bascon star as the characters of the script Mile Ocampo's character is working on.Walk into the film expecting a delightful love story, and you will probably end up disappointed.isn’t all wrong. There are some right notes there hiding beneath all the blandness.Joseph Cruz litigates for a living and writes about cinema for fun. The first Filipino movie he saw in the theaters was Carlo J. Caparas' Tirad Pass.
