Don't miss Tasya Fantasya beginning on February 6 via TV5.

Another a much-awaited movie this summer entitled "Para Sa Hopeless Romantic". It is a local novel book written by Marcelo Santos III, whom I personally know when he was still attending some events with other bloggers like me. I am happy to see him again and proud of him because his book is finally a movie that will make everyone fall in love starring Jadine (James Reid and Nadine Lustre)
Marcelo continues to be a favorite among local book lovers. His second novel, last year’s “Para sa Broken Hearted,” a sequel to “Para Sa Hopeless Romantic,” was also a best seller, as well as his most recent release. “Mahal Mo Siya, Mahal Ka Ba?" A collection of essays about love and relationships. He also continues to take the internet by storm with his popular love quotes. According to Marcelo,he never thought that his novel will be a movie “I thought it is just a dream, but I am happy right now and super blessed. After I watch the preview, all my expectation exceed more kilig and more lesson on this movie”.
And now Jadine is celebrating its first anniversary with its most romantic movie yet. James Reid and Nadine Lustre, lauched to stardom in the blockbuster movie “Diary ng Panget” in April last year, are marking a big career milestone with their upcoming “Para Sa Hopeless Romantic” movie. And they are joined by two other rising stars from their VIVA Artists Agency Family, Shy Carlos and AJ Muhlach.

“Para sa Hopeless Romantic” marks the fourth onscreen pairing of the popular young stars in one year. They followed up “Diary” with the hit movie “Talk Back and You’re Dead” in July, and then later on with the top-rating four-part TV mini-series “Wansapanataym Presents: My App Boyfie.” This time they bring to life beloved characters from the page as written by Marcelo, who started out as an internet star with his romance videos before conquering the literary worlds as a best-selling author via “Para Sa Hopeless Romantic”, his first novel.
In the movie, James and Nadine play high school sweethearts whose romance ends abruptly when James character decides to end it without much explanation, sending Nadine’s character looking for answers and pining for closure or reconciliation. She finds an outlet for her pent up emotions with the fiction stories she writes for her school paper, and finds a shoulder to cry on with her best friend, a spirited, happy-go-lucky, even more hopeless romantic girl played by Shy Carlos. Likewise, James’ character finds a helping hand in is best friend, played by AJ Muhlach.
Shy is best known for her role in the top rating series “Be Careful With My Heart” and is carving a name too as a VJ in MTV Pinoy. She will next be seen in VIVA’s upcoming horror movie, “Chain Mail”, and the movie adaptation of another bestselling book, Bob Ong”s comedy “Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin”. AJ co-starred with James and Nadine in both “Diary” and “Talk Back”.

What do you mean by Hopeless Romantic? One of the question during blog con. According to Marcelo “Sila yung taong nagmamahal na pero hindi minamahal, sila yung mga bayani pagdating sa Pag-ibig”. While Nadine explained that all of us are hopeless romantic but on different levels. “Hopeless Romantic is when you are inlove nothing matters” added by James Reid.

According to Direk Andoy this movie is different, “this is not a wattpad, this is a novel, it is really a book, so I’m so excited with this movie”. Direk hopes that he give justice on the author Marcelo when he direct this, and almost 95% from the book is in the movie according to Direk Andoy.

Is there a forever? Forever promise of true love there is a Forever to those who believe it. Lastly, Marcelo added that on this movie there are more lessons of love and ideal love story specially teenagers can relate on every scene of the movie, even married couples can relate on this movie. Catch the stars of “Para Sa Hopeless Romantic” opens in cinemas on May 13 from Star Cinema and Viva Fils. The film is supported by Jollibee.

So mommies, this will be a bonding moment with your teenagers so both of you will understand the new generation of love. I will definitely watch it though I don’t have teenagers yet, but I will watch it with my hubby. So wait on my review on the movie.
