One can understand her anger and resentment once her mother confesses what happened to her when she was young, but Jackie has trapped herself in a miserable situation. Jackie sees only what has been done to her. He is also one of the coordinators for the program that provides help to the village. Kiko is a responsible young man, who finds himself caring for his younger siblings while his irresponsible mother is out galavanting with any man she can find. Her father relents, against his better judgment. Her mother pleads with her father to let her come to a small, rural village to do some volunteer work for a week. However, she is unable to stay out of trouble and ends up in jail. Her dream is to go to New York to study photography in order to leave home. Jackie is an angry young woman who doesn't like her life or anyone in it. Little did I know that these two have collaborated on several movies and are an "item" in real life. A great story and wonderful chemistry between Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla make this a wonderful film. Rock Solid Romantic Comedy With an UpLifting Message! This is my first foray into Filipino cinema, and I wasn't disappointed. But if this is your first Filipino movie, I suggest watching the two I mentioned up top first. I recommend "Crazy Beautiful You" to all Kathryn & Daniel fans since I think they're great no matter what. This message I think was just as important in the movie. No one should try to take everything on by themselves. However, being selfless is also bad but in different ways. Selfishness is bad of course, for the most part others' feelings should be considered. Additionally, I liked the way they handled being selfish/selfless. I think the overall message about the importance of family is great though the delivery is somewhat muddled. Once his annoying brother Marcus is introduced, Kathryn's character development in thrown out in order to focus on a pseudo-love triangle.

Kiko's (Daniel) family dynamics are interesting, but handled too haphazardly. They should have played her being a rebellious brat more. Kathryn's character Jackie has an about-face too soon into the movie. However, the plot of "Crazy Beautiful You" is just all over the place. Chemistry top-notch as always and I'm still looking forward to watching their other movies. This is just another run-of-the-mill rom-com full of plot inconsistencies.įirst, Kathryn and Daniel were great. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was enjoyable but it did not have any sort of brilliance that the other two films I mentioned had.

Unfortunately, "Crazy Beautiful You" did not live up to my hopes. So I'm obviously going to have high hopes for any Kathryn Bernardo & Daniel Padilla movie. Not the best from Kathryn and Daniel My first Filipino movie was "She's Dating the Gangster" followed by "Can't Help Falling in Love." Now I LOVED these movies, though I felt SDtG had a couple plot holes.
