That does not necessarily mean it is a total letdown, and on this Mae Cruz-Alviar-helmed Star Cinema flick, the strength that primarily comes from the performance of the actors, and the relatable sentiments they are trying to get across, reinforces the film’s extremely familiar storyline with searing and tangible truths, enough to deliver a heartwarming experience. Liza Soberano is Audrey. She has…
