Sam (Arron Villaflor) was very excited when he proposed to his long-time girlfriend Amie (Julia Victoria) and she accepted. However, she told him that she had decided to go to Canada to pursue her modeling career as arranged by her Tita Dalisay (Lara Morena). She tried to convince Sam to go with her, but he did not want to leave his mother Tessa (Alma Moreno) behind as she just recently lost her husband.
Because Sam was so depressed following his abrupt breakup, his friends Kempoy (TJ Valderrama), Bambam (Billy Villeta) and Toto (Kedebom Colim) tried desperately to help him snap out of his gloom. They brought Sam to a beach resort to forget his woes, but he almost immediately got into an argument with a pretty food vlogger named Sammy (Christine Bermas). After that rough start, Sammy decided to help Sam move on.
The sex scenes were just there to serve the Vivamax brand, and to pad the simple basic story to feature length. The effort to stretch this story was so evident from the start. The whole part of Sam and Amie breakup took more than 30 minutes, when it could have easily been just mentioned in a sentence. We even had to hear Kempoy go through the five stages of grief. In the second act, Sammy had to guide Sam through her Lucky 9 tips for moving on.
The acting performance of Julia Victoria as Amie was just so obnoxious. It was better if Victoria's Amie was not even seen at all and instead just be a character to be narrated about. The more we see her, the more we could not understand how a man like Sam would even think of marrying someone like her. In fact, we would rather see them separated than together. Furthermore, side by side with Christine Bermas' radiant Sammy, it was no contest. 3/10.
