The Piolo Pascual and Angel Locsin vehicle, Love Me Again, gave a few pointers on how to win back your ex. The movie is full of romantic clichés and it didn’t introduce any innovations to the genre. At least there are some things couples or ex-couples can pick up to bring back the zest in their relationships.
Be Persistent
Migo continued his courtship even if Arah already said no. Sometimes persistence works as seen in Love Me Again but sometimes in can lead to a totally different result. Arah could have viewed Migo as an annoyance and ignored his perseverance.
Don’t Be Afraid to be Cheesy
Invent a romantic gesture just like what Migo did and you might win back the one who got away. Piolo Pascual’s performance was below par and effortless that I still wonder why Arah find him to be adorable. The kissing of his hand and throwing it to Arah is a cheesy act that I’ve seen in a couple of TV shows, movies and even cartoons. Couldn’t the writers think of something else? Anyway, romantics can think of a lot more ways to be cheesy with their loved one.
Long Distance Relationship is a Mistake
A long distance relationship doesn’t work no matter how much both parties want it to work. In the case of Arah and Migo, one party simply didn’t show interest anymore and the other party was caught in a situation that can’t be avoided. In a LDR, trust is a big issue and one simple mistake can lead to goodbye.
Love Me Again is a movie that’s made to cater to the Piolo and Angel fans. It showed the beauty of Bukidnon and its cowboy culture and at the same time, the hardships Overseas Filipino Workers must endure just to be able to send some money to their families back at home. If you’re not a fan of either of the two stars then skip this one.
*Spoiler*
The ending is too obvious. Migo and Arah got back together.
