I've watched the movie because I was curious as to why it didn't become such a hit in the phils despite its different plot.
A few minutes into it and I quickly knew why....The movie is a bit boring though the story had a promising start but, they failed to execute it well. Sarah's acting was okay but, she had obvious reservations, something's lacking... I think she's somehow still very conscious....
Though, they tried really hard. Kudos to the fact that she didn't have a screen partner and also for accepting this different role (I just wished her condition in the plot was explained well at the beginning if she has autism or what..). Empoy though, made me happy! Hahaha
Would I recommend it?! Maybe, just see for yourself. Some might not see it the way i've seen it.

The storyline was interesting. It is also a new thing in the Philippine cinema to have a dog-related film. If I don't get wrong, this is the first Filipino film of its kind.
The cast was a powerful one. A good choice of actors.
The cinematography, musical score, production design, screenplay, and of course, the direction were brilliant.
Also, seeing Sarah Geronimo portraying a character with mental illness amazed me. She executed it excellently.
The film tackled 4 main things: animal welfare, mental illness awareness, respect to the senior citizens, and family.
The directors of the film, Perci Intalan and Jun Lana, are intelligent to come up with this film.
For me, I consider this film as one of 2019's best Filipino films.

Good choice of cast for all main characters and most of other supporting characters! Their expressions match perfectly with their supposed roles if you know some of personality typology, and that's why the portrayal of the characters are so convincing.
I'm sure the struggle of the main protagonist is not only relatable to people who have whatever condition that she has, many people have the same outlook on life as she does. And it would just remind you of that sensitive innocent child side within you that you might have buried on your journey to becoming an adult. Not all people might get it, but many others do. Or you see it in others close to you.
Thanks for this film!

Stopped halfway through, acting and story was below average. I'd skip this movie and "Forget" about it.
Sarah did a great acting, I'm not a big fan of her but after watching this movie I'm a bit becoming one of em. I'm really touch by the story of the movie, I cried and laugh. Plus, I was surprised seeing Regine Velasquez in the movie also I love the last song of her. This will be one of few Filipino movies that i liked. Very enjoyable!

It's funny when Sarah G's performance might a little tippy as it was. I mean, her mental breakdown and her granny really ticked me off a bit. It's crazy that having a dog from an unknown owner would be more fascinating and inspirational ever since. As a similarity, Shiloh the wonder dog would always have the main characters side throughout. The song was amazing, the guests are a little woody, and even the setting was just more typical. And the best part, the climatic ones might be more shocky to see. I'm sure if there's any sequel for this, John Lloyd might be there as well.
BTW, if only somebody wanted to make a horror sequel of Wag Kang Lilingon that featured Anne Curtis as Nurse Gem in the same hospital at the same time.

The story was straightforward, yet it had an unexpected emotional and dramatic core. However, the film is short and sweet in every sense of the word. This is where the film falters. It skips over the little things.
Jasmine, a young woman with an unspecified mental condition, is central to the plot. It is unknown or unstated whether she has Asperger's or is on the autistic spectrum, but it appears likely. She lives alone in Baguio with her grandma, in relative serenity. When Jasmine's grandmother contracts tuberculosis, she must go to the city to live with her sister Dahlia while her grandma recovers in the hospital. 'Unforgettable' takes us on a fantastic journey with a special child named Jasmine and her beloved dog, Happy. They embark on a long journey to visit her ailing grandmother in Baguio, believing that bringing the dog to her will heal her. As they walk an incredible distance, they confront a variety of hardships and meet numerous individuals who support them along the route. This is the film that will take you on a new voyage of discovery of love, friendship, and family.
The movie had a great cast and was well-acted. Sarah Geronimo, Gina Pareo, and Kim Molina stand out, but the rest of the supporting actors did an excellent job with the minimal material and moments they were given. We never find out what Jasmine's ailment is, for example. Sarah Geronimo, the primary character, did an excellent job at depicting autism on television. Sarah Geronimo's Jasmine is at the centre of it all, and she provides a completely dedicated performance. Geronimo manages to skillfully show the signs of autism, even without mentioning her condition: inability to make eye contact, incorrect social interactions, monotone speech, strong fixation on one topic, and behavioural disturbances (such as tantrums). Sarah Geronimo gives her everything to the role, relying on her charisma to keep Jasmine from being ridiculous or caricature-like.
'Unforgettable' is a film about adventure. An adventure that extends beyond the limits of the novel, an adventure in which the protagonist steps outside of her comfort zone and goes to great lengths to be with her loved one. It may be described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It may be simple for others, but not for Jasmine. And each of the stops she made along the way transformed her and the people she met.
It's an unapologetically happy film that sticks out in a cinematic landscape overflowing with all-too-real depictions of the world in all of its cynical and jaded splendour.
