In an interview with ABS-CBN News' MJ Felipe, the "It's Showtime" host said he did not expect that it would make him "kilig" and cry at the same time.

"Silang tatlo magaling. Ang ganda nu'ng pelikula. Tapos 'yong character nilang tatlong bida, sobrang colorful. Tinamaan ako sa lahat ng mga shining moments nila," he added.

The 40-year-old comedian woke up early on Sunday to catch the first screening with lead stars Julia Barretto, Joshua Garcia, and Ronnie Alonte.

"Ang ganda ng movie, akala ko pang-millennial lang. Hindi lang siya pang-millennial, para sa lahat, o sadyang millennial lang ako talaga," he said.

Meanwhile, here are some reactions from netizens who already saw the Star Cinema movie.
