Sorry I Don't Like This Dorm...

As much as I am very considerate for movie premiere nights I just felt I wasted so much time with delays unnecessary speeches and worst is uber-cliched film where the supporting actors acts better than the main characters. Dorm Boys was a re-adaptation from the movie Dormitoryo (Buhay Estudyante) made decades ago. I have not seen the original but I don't compare the past and present since the movie experience and detail is what I consider the most. 

Even though I just watched The Dark Knight Returns and The Healing, I still believe that even with independent movies and small budget films can actually par with them. However this would be given if the elements and acting would be exceptional. The problem with the movie is that there are too much pretty faces with weak characterizations which makes  it "unbalanced" and the characters also left me confused  what their real personalities are. The plot and cinematography is what I can say are OK with the purpose of leaving a message to the students of today but the overall feel made me irk. My friends actually left early because they don't liked it, but for the sake of fair judgement I stayed to see if it would turn better. The one and only scene that I liked was the confrontation between father and son.

The aim of the movie was to make the viewers think about the consequences of the unruly ways of college student life (cheating, drinking, women, etc), but as a student myself, I was not that moved even I do see myself in those situations, probably because the resolution in the end was not clear. There were also too many scenes where overacting is too much and unbearable for me. Plus it felt like I was not in a theater with so much noise from the cast who was there, but lets give it to them since its their movie (I also had these same senarios with other movies too). Sorry but in the end yung kalokohan yung natandaan ko not the moral.
