Why so much hype?

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Twenty years after, this Reyes classic still feels fresh. Thanks to witty dialogue, realistic scenario and good actors. Although the love story of the leads (Muhlach and Melendez ) have been dealt with countless times -- boy meets girl, family doesn't like girl, boy realizes he loves her-- this still is a joy to watch. Perhaps due to Reyes behind the screenplay or the actors' natural acting or maybe just the fact that there's no slaps, overly melodramatic confrontations, make this movie worth rewatching . On the downside, the marriage that came at the end of the movie feels too rushed. Aga realizing quickly he loves her and offering marriage maybe too 90s for today's audience. Looking back, this could very well be a prequel to "kasal, kasali, kasalo".
