There is no such thing as a perfect person.  There is nothing wrong if we just want to be the best version of our real self, but if we try too hard to be perfect just to please those we want to please, then we would never be happy.

The first person, besides God that is, we should love is our very selves.  We cannot give what we do not have.  If we do not love ourselves, then we couldn't love others.

The words above is the message this movie wants to remind us of.  Patty(Sharon Cuneta) did not know how to love herself so she was never truly happy, until Cocoy(Robin Padilla) came back into her life after thirty-five years. 

The young ones, JoshLia(Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto), have an undeniable onscreen chemistry.  They are both true thespians. Yes.  Both are naturals!

The supporting cast all did well.  Cathy Garcia-Molina is a great director and she brought to life the story written by Vanessa R. Valdez and Kiko Abrillo that was written for the big screen by Anna Karenina Ramos and Janica May Regalo.

Your emotions would be taken to a roller coaster ride.  There would be moments that you would like to regurgitate, but there if you just sit back and TRY to relax, you would enjoy the ride to the highest level.

Is it worth watching again?

By all means!
