I'm Drunk, I Love You

It stars Maja Salvador and Paulo Avelino, who previously worked together in the 2015 television soap opera Bridges of Love; the film serves as their second project together.

[1][2] The film tells the story of two best friends, Carson (Salvador) and Dio (Avelino), and the former’s seven-year-long unrequited love for the latter.

[5] Director JP Habac conceived the idea for the film by citing his nightly drinking sessions he had had with his friends.

Additionally, he stated: "Gusto ko talaga magpakita ng sine na totoo at yung mapapaisip ka.

On a separate tweet the same day, he complained before the MTRCB (particularly its board member Mocha Uson) posing this question in Filipino, "Bakit nga ba hindi inuuna ng mga lokal na sinehan ang mga Pelikupang [sic] Pilipino kesa sa Dayuhang Pelikula?

"[13] Mari-an Santos of Philippine Entertainment Portal praised Salvador and Avelino's chemistry onscreen, and said: "The movie is a trip.

"[14] Blogger Louie Baharom of Live Love Cinema gave 4/5, and described it as "[A]n emotionally sincere wake-up call to the millennials and everybody else who get blinded by affections; a cheery celebration of one’s own youth and the idea of it being something that just bursts like a bubble – all kept at a steady pace that pinches the heart, ignites the soul, and gets us to appreciate and savor every passing second as in life."

Philbert Dy of The Neighborhood said, "[The film] exudes a yearning for the carefree days of being young and drunk and in love, all the while acknowledging how that could never last.
