JOSHUA GARCIA AND JULIA BARRETTO are all set to captivate us once more with their new film, ‘Love You To The Stars and Back,’ set to open in theaters on Wednesday, August 30.

We first fell for this tandem when they captured our hearts with their stellar performances during the Metro Manila Film Festival 2016 with their entry, ‘Vince and Kath and James’ with Ronnie Alonte (read our review here). From then on, we expected Joshua and Julia to become household names, and they didn’t fail to deliver. Their chemistry and partnership went on to make Filipino viewers happy, and we’re hoping that continues with this new film.

Directed by Antoinette Jadaone, the filmmaker behind hit romantic comedies like ‘That Thing Called Tadhana,’ ‘English Only Please,’ ‘You’re My Boss,’ and ‘Walang Forever,’ among others, ‘Love You To The Stars and Back’ follows Caloy (Joshua) and Mika (Julia) on their road trip to love.

Jadaone said in one interview that the young actors are “real actors” who could really deliver. “They’re not trying to be cute or just playing around. As young lovers Caloy and Mika, they even made me cry on the set during two heavy scenes. That’s a big factor.”

“I’m so proud of them,” Jadaone added. “Nag-shine silang mabuti nang hindi nila sinasadya. And one did not outdo the other.”

The trailer doesn’t show much, but the chemistry between the two stars is enough to make us want to catch the film on its opening day. Our review of it before the month ends.
