More Than Just A Teen Flick -- JUST ONE SUMMER Movie Review

POTATO ON THE GO REVIEW (Movie):

Teen flicks, romantic comedies, chick flicks -- more often than not, they are certified hits among viewers.  But while the masses love them, critics and serious film enthusiasts see them as nothing but sweets with no nutrients.  But in a recent movie I've seen, I realized a sweet teen flick can actually have meaning... can actually provide nourishment, if done right.  I'm talking about GMA Films' recent offering JUST ONE SUMMER starring one of today's most in-demand and hottest love teams Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona. 

Directed by Mac Alejandre, the film also veteran actors Alice Dixson as Irene Lune – Cuaresma, Cherry Pie Picache as Julie, Joel Torre as Daniel Cuaresma Sr., Boboy Garovillo as Berting and Ms. Gloria Romero as Lola Meding. Completing the powerhouse ensemble are Arkin Magalona, Sheena Halili, Lexi Fernandez, Sef Cadayona, Steven Silva, Diva Montelaba, Benedict Campos, Ken Chan, Joana Marie Tan, Diva Montelaba, Ana Feleo, Mon Confiado, Mega Unciano, Maey Bautista and Betong Sumaya.

Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona record duet version of GIRL BE MINE for their movie JUST ONE SUMMER

P.O.T.G. BULLETIN (Recording / Movie):

There's no stopping the phenomenal popularity of GMA Network's young talents Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona, also known as Julielmo.  After bagging their own romantic comedy / drama series Together Forever, and eventually getting the viewers' nod, Julie Anne and Elmo this time recorded their duet version of "Girl Be Mine," which is a Francis Magalona composition. The song will be used as one of the soundtracks of their launching movie "Just One Summer," which will hit nationwide theaters beginning August 15.

During the recording session, Elmo and Julie Anne collaborated on how they could give a new "flavor" to the song. Julie Anne helped Elmo out on some tricky second voices, while Elmo guided Julie Anne on some of the melodies since he's more familiar with his dad's song.
