We have already listed down reasons why you should watch the film but there's one scene you definitely wouldn't want to miss: a "Dubsmash" scene.

Dubsmash played a big role for the AlDub love team and it's just fitting to include this in their first solo movie. It will be recalled that Alden and Yaya Dub (played by Maine) initially communicated with each other through fan signs and Dubsmashing in the Kalyeserye segment of Eat Bulaga.
