All You Need Is Pag-Ibig: All About Love But Is Difficult To Love

‘ALL YOU NEED IS PAG-IBIG’ is not as good as ‘That Thing Called Tadhana’ or ‘Relax, It’s Just Pag-ibig’, but we really cannot blame writer-director Antoinette Tadhana for this unimpressive piece of work from her. After all, it’s common knowledge that the project was ‘urong-sulong’ because Kris Aquino couldn’t make up her mind if she’d do it or not. In the process, they added additional cast members and when Kris finally said she’d do it, they were already pressed for time and the movie, for all intents and purposes, is actually a quickie. We heard they were still shooting one week before opening date.

We think it’d have been better if they no longer pushed through with the movie anymore, simply because Star Cinema has everything to lose. Imagine, they have placed so many of their aces here like Kris paired for the first time with Derek Ramsay, then there’s also her son Bimby Yap, the granddaughters of Charo Santos, the comedian Pokwang whom they’re grooming to replace Ai Ai de las Alas as their new Queen of Comedy, the love team of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim, and they also added Jodi Sta. Maria and Ian Veneracion whose love team is said to be very hot these days because of their exposure in “Pangako Sa’Yo”. And then the movie bombed. How sad, isn’t it?
