Review: Chances Are, You and I: Giving a chance on life.

Chances are, You and I is about two different people bound by fate in a their most vulnerable states. Kira Balinger plays the role of Gab, the optimist, she view life on a positive side, a ball of sunshine, she believes that everything will be okay even though life is falling apart from her. Meanwhile, Kelvin, the pessimist, he believes that every one will die eventually somehow and somewhere and they all got to deal with that.  

To start off this review, I must that the three years of waiting for this movie to premiere was worth the wait. Let's go with the characters played by Kira and Kelvin.

We begin with Kira Balinger, this is her first lead on the big screen and she was able to deliver the character with a strong and powerful performance, I just love how she was able to embrace her character here, it was definitely a heartfelt performance specially in that one particular scene in South Korea. 

For Kelvin Miranda, this guy never fail to amaze me with his performances. Kelvin always give his A-game every time he plays the role and you will definitely like the way he played his character in this movie as Sol, It felt so natural, I somehow feel like I am watching Kelvin as himself in this movie, that bad boy with a soft heart personality. 

As for their team up, I like their chemistry, it was effortless. Specially in their scenes in Korea the romance brewing felt so natural and that I think made their overseas journey somehow engaging and relatable to the viewers. 

I also like the character of Jin Ho Bae and Tart Carlos, they added fun and laughter to the story. 

Next to our list is the cinematography, it was on point and I love how they shot everything and made everything picture perfect for the story. 

The only setback of this movie is that I felt that there are lots of unnecessary scenes that made the movie a tad bit long. Although I love the conversation scenes I think they were too many and too long although I guess that's part of them establishing the story between the two characters and their connection, but I just hoped they limited it to a certain point that will not make the movie that too long. 

Last, I must say that the theme song of this movie fits perfectly! I really did not appreciate Juan Karlos' Demonyo single until I repeatedly heard it playing in this movie, it made every scene on point and perfect, I really had an LSS of that song thanks to this movie.

The good song choices really made a huge different for this movie, adding to Demonyo is SB19's MAPA that really gave heartfelt emotions to the scenes. 

Over all Chances are, You and I, was a good movie. It talks about love, destiny, forgiveness, and second chances in life, that no matter how difficult life is there's always something and someone that we can cling on to our dear life and will make us face every day with a positive view.
