All You Need is Pag-ibig Movie Review

Not all of the stories worked in All You Need Is Pag-ibig, a local version of Love Actually. The forced connections just made it worse.

The best bits were the simplest ones with great performances: the old age love between a wonderful Nova Villa and Ronaldo Valdez, and the very special love between Jodi Sta. Maria and Ian Veneracion (are they the new CharDawn? When will they have their own movie?).

Unfortunately, a chunk of the run-time was spent on the weak plot of Kim Chiu and a terrible Xian Lim.

Sometimes all you need is a workshop.
