Sid is one of the main characters of the upcoming ABC sitcom, Galavant.He is the squire and sidekick to the protagonist. Sid is portrayed by Luke Youngblood. Sid & Aya is a love story. But writer-director Irene Emma Villamor is anti-fairytale, so expect that her latest forage into the matters of the heart, like her previous film Meet Me in St. Gallen (the Carlo Aquino-Bela Padilla starrer), also tells a complicated romantic story. Watch Sid And Aya![]() This movie is a testament to how you can do a Pinoy rom-com formula and still offer something new and unexpected. I mean it goes in directions you wouldn't think it would and yes, it's still grounded in reality. The dynamic between the two leads is great because you're never really rooting for them and just waiting for them to self-destruct. (Or maybe that's just how I saw it? Lol) Aya's no-fucks-given attitude (or facade?) is super refreshing. And while I wasn't the biggest fan of the scenes set in Sid's professional life (it felt too brash compared to the rest of the movie), I loved how they all related to the movie's unlikely themes of power, class, and money.

Sid & Aya: Not a Love Story is a cynical love story, something that is unusual for Filipino romantic films as the usual formula would rely on a lot of cheesy 'kilig' moments that would make everyone swoon so mindlessly. From start to finish, this film has none of those moments and it's very straightforward. What I really liked about the film was its use clever use of foreshadowing, which isn't utilized very much by Filipino films. Another thing that I liked about this film was how it was shot. There is so much care and dedication in framing the scene and making it look gorgeous. The best part of the film were the performances and the perfect chemistry of Dingdong •. Meeehn napagod ako magpigil ng luha, ha? I guess i really am a sucker for local romantic films. Glad to see formulaic romance films in a different perspective, or a little twist. Its cinematography and scoring were different din. Free romance novel pdf download. It almost didn't sound like and look like a romantic film. Gusto ko yung may disclaimer na di siya love story, ganun din kasi ka-in denial ni sid & aya. Sobrang na-appreciate ko to kasi it kinda reminded me of babe, i love you. Sobrang love ko yon at don ko rin unang na-appreciate si anne curtis. Tnx for giving me another anne curtis as a quirky girl with financial problem role. *THE STORY* Sid (Dingdong Dantes) is a stockbroker.
