One thing that's bothering me about it though:
During the credits I spotted the part where it says "Based on the script by..."
This reminded me about this notorious rumor I keep hearing about ABS-CBN/Star Cinema. It goes a little something like this:
So the studio gets these interns/wannabes/hopefuls to write/submit their screenplays with the promise of giving them their first big break. The studio subsequently shoots these stories down and sends these hopefuls home. But then they get name writers/directors to do some rewrites on the submitted scripts then voila! Instant movie.
I repeat, it's only a rumor, but I'd like to hear the thoughts from insiders here.
