I watched the majority of this movie through my fingers while cringing from the second-hand embarrassment, lol. It's silly, it's way too earnest, it's cliché, it has no depth, the story doesn't go anywhere or get fun till about 1/4 or 1/5 of the way through, it's just dumb. But it's the kind of dumb that's inexplicably entertaining, so you might as well give it a viewing. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an easy watch to laugh at that they probably won't feel compelled to watch again.

Don't romanticize toxic and selfish relationships!!!!

The person who created this movie cultivates the idea "Men are allowed to be spoiled, rude, selfish, toxic, sexist, insensitive and rude 🤮. And women are allowed to love these men, putting up with the humiliations, in the hope of receiving crumbs of affection 🙄 . He is allowed to be a hateful person to everyone because he lost his mother! Pity the rich boy who has everything and is disgusting because he lost his mother 😤. But the girl who is poor and has no father or mother, no, we don't need to pity her".

Does anyone like this kind of romance? This is the story of a boy who thinks that everyone in the world should serve him smiling and without complaining, even though he constantly humiliates them and treats them like garbage. It is also the story of a girl with a good heart, but who has no self-love whatsoever and accepts being mistreated in various ways by a boy. This is not romantic, much less funny, it is sad and revolting, because someone with critical thinking still in formation can take this story as an absolute truth and an example of romance to be experienced.

If you like this kind of romance, I recommend that you go to therapy and reevaluate your attitudes. I understand that the film is a little old, and that's the only reason I'm a little lenient, but if you see it TODAY and like it, it's a wake-up call.

Aimer ou détester ? La frontière est mince pour ce type de comédie/romance.

« Diary ng Panget » fait partie de ces rares films que je revisionne… (Aimant la nouveauté, il est très rare que je revienne sur un film ou drama, sauf s’il m’a marqué pour une quelconque raison ^^) Et pourtant, il a son lot de défauts…

Le speech de base est le classique des romcoms : Une jeune femme qu’on enlaidit mais qui devient « belle » & qui finit avec le bad boy mal dans sa peau… (Youhou ! Plus cliché, tu meurs :o !!)
Cependant, on trouve rapidement un charme à cette histoire des plus basiques de par l’évolution de Cross & pour ma part, la langue qui m’a perturbé au départ mais qui a fini par devenir plaisante à mes oreilles.

Parlons un peu des personnages :
• Eya me laisse quelque peu perplexe… Elle aime Chad 15min avant la fin du film… Mais elle accepte de sortir avec Cross. (Moué… La fin bâclée en gros XD On ne voit pas ses sentiments apparaitre… C’est sorti de nulle part…)
• Cross est clairement un sale gosse mais nous finissons par l’apprécier car son évolution est visible… Malgré qu’il ne peut s’empêcher de rentrer dans le cliché du « j’embête la fille que j’aime pour qu’elle me remarque ».
• Chad & Lory sont des personnages adorables… Qui soutiennent l’héroïne mais sinon, ils n’apportent pas grand-chose à l’histoire :/ !
• Mention spécial aux trois groupies de Cross pour leurs stupidités & la scène de kidnapping qui ne sert strictement à rien… C’est d’un ridicule x’D (Le scénariste cherchait-il à rallonger le film ? Il aurait sans doute mieux fait de développer les sentiments d’Eya à la place…)

Mis à part le développement des sentiments du côté d’Eya & l’ajout de scènes inutiles… (Souvent avec les 3 sottes dépourvues de cerveaux...) C’est une romcom qui se regarde sans difficulté & que j’aime toujours autant regarder !
