American Dream

Basha is an architect in the same firm as her fiancé Popoy, who is an engineer. They belong to the same close-knit group of friends and have been together for five years until Basha gets fed up with Popoy's controlling but well-meaning ways and opts out of the relationship, building a new life for herself. Popoy goes on self-destruct mode but is later able to recuperate in the kind arms of Trisha. Basha realizes that he wants him back but things have already gotten too complicated.

Overall, the movie was pretty good. I deducted a star because of it's "bitin" ending. But then again, One More Chance is one good reason Pinoys should give the pelikulang Pinoy another chance at redeeming itself in its own context, on its own terms, without having to show the seedy side of Manila just to be taken seriously. Kudos to One More Chance!
