A romance and drama movie that
joined in 2014 Metro Manila Film Festival about a Filipino-American guy looking
a perfect Filipino translator to deliver a speech to someone he’s being following
that cause him a heart break. English Only, Please has a good premise and light
comedy to tell but I find it a shallow story and conflict isn’t much of a concern.
It tells about tragedy in love life of the two main characters played by
Jennylyn Mercado and Derek Ramsay who in their own merits delivered the best
performance to justify their roles. I think their notable performance was the main
salvation of the film from being panned. The story is being swallowed by the
lead actors performance which I think is good but bad for the overall review of
the film because it means the story of the movie is forgettable. But despite of
hard swallowing of its story, English Only Please deliver a good lesson on
knowing the right term of Filipino language and knowing when you are becoming a
fool because of love.
