The movie starts with Aga waiting for the results of the bar exams in 2008 with girlfriend Miriam Quiambao. He failed to make it, but Miriam did. The next time we see him, he’s called Umboy, for Umbrella Boy, since his work is offering notary public services under an umbrella on the sidewalk outside a government office.
Regine is Berns, a fixer who thinks she's more of a liaison office. Her mom (Gina Pareno) is a former provincial beauty queen-turned-seller of fake bags in Greenhills who pressures her kids to be hardworking hustlers like her and not like their easygoing dad (Ariel Ureta) who just stays home doing crossword puzzles.
Both Umboy and Berns are losers who don’t even have a lovelife. Then they meet and the stars conspire to make them fall for each other ever so slowly. This is done in the most credible and endearing manner. By the time Aga kisses Regine in that beautiful resort in Camsur and Regine kisses back, you’re already rooting for both of them. In the end, their love inspires each other and redeems them both. They grow to be better persons. Regine’s proposal to Aga while kneeling down in what maybe considered as the film’s climax, while they wait for the results of another bar exam, is a “kilig” moment that will please hopeless romantics. What’s nice is that Regine is able to pull through the potentially ridiculous scene with much aplomb and flying colors.
Aga and Regine get excellent support from Tommy Abuel as Aga’s dad, Gina Pareno and Ariel Ureta as Regine’s parents and John Lapus as Regine’s wacky sidekick in love with Aga’s cousin Mark Bautista.
