Regine Velasquez is an incredibly talented artist. Unfortunately there aren't many films with her available in the States, so we get what we can. I think she would be a much better comedienne than a dramatic actress because I found her comedy in this "tear jerker" genuinely funny, but there just wasn't enough. Instead, the story is predictable and run-of-the-mill. Guy loses girlfriend, drinks himself into oblivion, and gets redeemed by a poor, down-on-her-luck, but beautiful single mother with a sick child. The chemistry between Velasquez and Pascual is unnatural and seems forced, like they were two actors paid to make a movie. The constant crying between them towards the end of the film ends up becoming unintentionally hilarious. If it weren't for my appreciation of Ms. Regine, I'd never have given this movie a single thought, but she is, after all - no matter how bad the production values or silly the story - poetry in motion.
