Like Diary ng Panget, I did not read the novel; She’s Dating the Gangster which I heard begins as an e-book on wattpad.com so I am not familiar with the whole source material. I am just going put my basis on a movie adaptation. It’s a second movie adaptation from the on-line e-book. And it is better than Diary ng Panget. The movie has two different timeline, one is from the present (Kenneth and Kalay) and the second is from the past (Kenjie and Athena). Both timeline is played by Daniel Padilla and Katherine Bernard. The movie focuses on the Kenjie and Athena story rather than Kenneth and Kelay so I don’t like the obligatory happy ending in the present timeline. But as a whole, I forgive this film. First for the superb acting among the cast, the cinematography (the scene in the past near Mt. Mayon is breathtaking) and the best direction from Cathy Garcia – Molina. And second, for reuniting the iconic loveteam of the 90’s, Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta.
REMARKS: The first best adaptation from wattpad.
STARS:4/5
