Riding the Bandwagon (?)

"Imitation is the best form of flattery."

The upcoming movie, "Unofficially Yours" starring John Lloyd and Angel has lately been the talk of the town. I've seen the official trailer courtesy of YouTube, here: Unofficially Yours. I think it's cute and very relatable, I bet it will surely make a lot of money.
However, I can't help but think that the plot is similar to Hollywood movies "Friends With Benefits" and "No Strings Attached."
Plot: boy and girl, started off as friends, vowed not to fall in love, had casual sex, acted like couples, did not like labels but ended up falling in love.
But, since the movie has not yet premiered, let's give it the benefit of the doubt (?).

On the other news:
After the controversial slogan of the Dept. of Tourism (Pilipinas Kay Ganda), DOT released another tourism campaign ad: "It's More Fun in The Philippines." Yet again, the new tourism catchphrase received criticisms on why it was coincidentally similar to Switzerland's slogan back in 1951.
In DOT's defense, Secretary Ramon Jimenez tweeted: "This Switzerland coincidence only makes our line truer. Sun Tanning IS more fun in the Philippines."
