A Second Chance is a sequel to the 2007 Star Cinema romantic drama, One More Chance. With a smaller production team, the movie gets the same writing tandem along with the same director to continue on the same rhythm and quality that made One More Chance a success.
The story picks up where the last film left of and this one starts with a wedding. After getting married, the beloved couple Basha and Popoy embark on a life as husband and wife with big dreams and purpose. But life did not go the way they had planned it, Popoy was not successful in his venture and Basha failed at being pregnant. And this movie is about how all these occurrences affect their relationship that begs the question; ' Is love enough?'.
One thing that is good about the story is that the conflicts are real and not melodramatized. It presents the intricacies and real challenges of a life of a husband and wife. Another thing is that it does not resort to a 'third party affair' kind of conflict that would've made this film so much of a cliche, thus strengthening what Basha and Popoy feel for each other.
So the couple went into business from which Basha had to take a leave from in order for her to have a baby, which leaves Popoy to manage the business alone. Because of a particular negligence the business went down with a total debt of 60 Million pesos. Because of this they had to close and declare bankruptcy. This is a big problem, a problem that can not be solved by love alone.. I can not go into much detail, but what really is vague to me is how all the problems have been solved. And this is why I could not even give this movie a 4 star rating.
