Reviews/Notes:
“The plot of a guy for hire to make an ex boyfriend jealous has been used lots of times in films. But when that premise is utilized by sought after director Benedict Mique and his actors happen to be reel and real life partners and lovers Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles popularly known as KimJe, you are in for a riotous and crazy ride for Girlfriend Na Pwede Na” (Read more)
– Bernard Santos, My Movie World (3.5/5)“A fun, witty, humorous albeit formulaic romcom that puts Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles’ reel and real life chemistry to good use.” (Read more)
– Jayson Laniba, Film Circle Reject (3/5)Sometimes we all just need an easy watch, no brains needed. And I don’t mean it in a condescending way. This was actually fun to watch. Kim and Jerald’s chemistry passes through the screen. Many times, it felt like I was just watching them and not the characters. But the script needed a lot of work.
– Mae Malaya (3/5)“Sometimes a good movie doesn’t need you to think. Maybe this movie is one of those. Maybe I’m just blinded by the chemistry of Kim Molina and Jerome Napoles. Or maybe, it’s just I was watching this with my mom and an unexpected fully erected d*ck came up and it was really awkward.” (Read more)
– Jun Mendoza (3/5)“Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles represent a different kind of ‘love team’, if that term even holds weight these days – a hilarious couple with endless chemistry, and one that’s willing to be a little bit more mischievous, a little more raunchy than the usual suspects. It’s safe to say that they carry this film from something that is “pwede na” to something that’s more than decent.” (Read more)
– John Tawasil, Present Confusion (3/5)“This film surely gives that energy of an enjoyable time as it endlessly pokes fun at the pretention of filmmakers and film people. It’s an easy picking and easy to find especially if you are familiar with the scene.” (Read more)
– Jay-R Trinidad (3/5)“The best reason to watch this film was the easygoing and naughty chemistry between Molina and Napoles, forged from their “Rak of Aegis” days on the PETA stage, to the previous romcoms they’ve done together, as well as their real-life romance.” (Read more)
– Fred Hawson, Fred Said (2.5/5)“We’ve seen this before: stories building out of a lie – and we’ve seen much better. Girlfriend Na Pwede Na can’t keep up with the energy of the Kim Molina and Jerald Napoles. The pace and their chemistry is incongruous. It feels dragging when they’re not together and in some scenes they’re together (I don’t know if it’s just lazy filmmaking), the leads are just standing up while spitting their lines.” (Read more)
– Vinson Gabato (2/5)“The start of this movie was fun but then lost steam. Lars Von Trier really carried the movie. Then it became run-of-the-mill story that relied heavily on the actors amazing chemistry. That weird Session Road moment with the fans circling the Jerald and Kim was a nice touch that was kinda of a call back to Guy/Pip films where they just sing in movie.”
– Nico Quejano (2/5)
