Sharon and Aga in a romantic movie, yet it is light compared to drama-heavy love stories Filipino production companies usually churn out. You would find a few chuckles here and there.

It is a good thing that Sharon and Aga aren't young adults anymore to engage in sugary lovey-dovey scenes onscreen. This movie reminds me of FRIENDS and St. Elmo's Fire. Why? It's the story of one gang that's been together since college - which is what St. Elmo's Fire is. It's also the story of how two close friends eventually realize they are a perfect couple - something I've seen in St. Elmo's Fire, where the womanizer ended up with the nerd. By the way, Aga here plays the guy who've always had the good-looking girl, while Sharon plays the woman who's spent most of her time making her business grow. It's the absence of angst (there are conflicts though) and the generous helping of "everybody happy" that stops this from being St. Elmo's and start looking like FRIENDS.

No over-acting here, and the supporting actors are good.

I liked it but this isn't something you'd go watch again on the big screen. It would be a good movie to watch at home when you've got nothing to do.
