Positive Reviews Pour In For Charice’s Movie Performance
By ROWENA JOY A. SANCHEZ
The reviews are in for the inspirational comedy flick “Here Comes The Boom.” And while critics are divided over this Kevin James starrer, a handful of them commended the performance of cast member Charice.
David Germain of the Associated Press wrote that the 20-year-old singer and budding actress “adds adorability as a bright and earnest student,” referring to her character Malia dela Cruz—a “musical genius” and “brainiac,” as Charice herself described.
The review was also published on Huffington Post and Fox News.
Charice’s character “could easily have been a mawkish bit, but like so much else, it works, and when she and the school band surprisingly appear in Vegas to perform Scott’s unlikely theme song, 'Holly Holy,' I defy anyone not to get a little misty,” said David Noh of Film Journal International, the sister publication of Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter.
