"Hopeful Romantic" movie is the comedy version of your typical love story. It tackles a man and a woman's journey through love, heartbreak, and healing. It's a universal story about being hopia in love, loving, letting go, and holding onto faith that there's somebody for everybody injected with lots of humor.
If you watch this movie, you'll discover the secret of the whitening lotion. And would not probably see whitening lotion in the same light ever again. I would no longer be amazed if their would be a surged in the sales of this particular product. Ha ha ha!
A lot of men would probably envy Pepe Herrera because of his kissing and naughty love scenes with Ritz Azul.
I actually accidentally overheard my male seatmates in the movie house saying "Nakakainggit naman si Pepe, sobrang swerte" when Ritz and Pepe's naughty love scene was shown.
Pepe Herrera is Jess or Jesstoni, a 33 year old Virgin errr valet Parking Attendant at The Manila Hotel. He is a very prayerful and a very honest man despite being poor. He is a member of NGSB (No girlfriend since birth). He was being teased non stop by his friends for being a virgin. He has a high moral values because he promised his parents and himself that he will only give himself up after she found his one true love and of course only after marriage. Jess met Veronica (Ritz Azul), or Amanda, Nicky, or Ashley. She became a kept woman in the high society world because she had to pay back all the money of the people who were scammed by Leon. She was doped and used by Leon to victimized other people into an investment scheme. Veronica was blackmailed and was tagged as an accomplice by Leon dragging her to a mountain of mess. Veronica lost everything she had. Despite her difficult circumstances, she worked doubly hard to pay off all the victims of Leon. All she wanted in life is to bring her half- brother with her in Australia whereshe used to work as an OFW. She wanted very badly to start a brand new life there.
Upon the suggestion of his archrival as employee of the year, Wacky Kiray (Monette Medved) he was given a reward by the Hotel Manager when he returned a guest’s bag full of money. His rewards consists of a free 4 days and 3 nights stay cation at the Mc Arthur Suite of the Manila Hotel. Plus a shopping spree worth Php200,000 in cash, among others. Plus he could bring along not only a plus one but plus two during his stay. The manager even gifted him with a Rolex watch. He never thought he'll be living like a king.
Jess never thought that the event would forever change his life. On the first night, he meets Veronica at the bar of the hotel. Mesmerized by her beauty he decided to impress her with a wonderful song number. Oh, Pepe is a big revelation! Did you know that he could pass off as a lounge singer? Overpowered by alcohol, one thing lead to another and Veronica discovered Jess Whitening secret and gave Jess his “first time”. Jess, believing in the magic of what happened between them, decides that Veronica is his one true love.
Beverly Salviejo, Rafael Sudayan and Hashtag Niko were very funny, despite their limited exposure their characters made me laugh so hard. Oh, you ought to watch the movie and experience the happiness yourself.
However, there is one problem; Veronica has no idea that he is not rich. Afraid that revealing himself will make him lose Veronica, Jess starts to pretend the part. He kept on doing this until his resources was fully exhausted. Even pawning the Rolex watch given to him as a reward.
The inevitable happens, and Veronica learned the truth about Jess. Jess has nothing else but himself to prove his love for Victoria despite all the deception that he perpetuated in order to get into her world.
Is love enough to win back Veronica? Will Veronica forgive Jess?
Moral of the story: Honesty is the best policy. Money doesn't buy you genuine love. . Physical appearance does not matter when you are in love. Whitening lotion is effective, lmao!
