KimJe, back in feel-good ‘Girlfriend’ movie
As we welcome the New Year, Viva Films showcases its first and one of its many offerings this 2023, with a romantic-comedy movie starring the reel and real-life team-up of KimJe — Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles.
Get ready to fall in love and be loved for who you are, catch Girlfriend Na Pwede Na in cinemas starting January 18. Kim is Pam, the “okay” girlfriend, just average. Now in her late 20s, she’s been longing to finally move on to the next chapter of her life and marry her longtime boyfriend Jiggs (Gab Lagman).
Despite their seven-year relationship, Jiggs has given no hints at popping the question to Pam.
As it turns out, he is not sure that Pam is the one for him. Hurt and insulted, Pam breaks up with Jiggs but regrets it almost immediately after realizing that Jiggs still owns her heart.
Instead of moving on from her ex-boyfriend, Pam formulates a plan to make Jiggs want her back and make him realize that Pam is the one for him.
With help from her friends, they hire and create the perfect guy to make Jiggs jealous. This guy is Isko (Jerald), a simple buko juice vendor who, in exchange for a good amount of money, agrees to pretend and be the perfect boyfriend for Pam.
What initially was a fake and forced relationship turns out to be a happy companionship as Pam and Isko’s humor jive perfectly.
Jiggs and their friends also begin to notice a change in Pam as well as her growing closeness with Isko.
Jiggs grows jealous of this and tries to pursue Pam once more — this could be the perfect ending for Pam’s original plan, but the catch is: Pam is starting to see Isko in a different light and she might be falling for him.
Will she choose the one her heart is already familiar with? Or the one who came unexpectedly? Is Jiggs still the one she wants to marry? Or has Isko completely changed her mind?
Girlfriend Na Pwede Na is a feel-good movie by a seasoned screenwriter, filmmaker and Gawad Urian-nominated director (for ML), Benedict Mique.
