Those who have shipped CarGel since their G-Mik years have gotten their wish, a movie starring Carlo Aquino and Angelica Panganiban, Dan Villegas’ Exes Baggage.

Exes Baggage is the reunion movie of Carlo and Angelica and the reel story is also about the reunion of two ex-lovers who have not seen each other for two years. The story of Nix (Carlo Aquino), a seemingly controlling furniture designer, and Pia (Angelica Panganiban), an outgoing real estate broker, unravels magically after Nix and Pia bump into each other at the opening of their common friends’ bar. Will two former flames find the spark to reignite their love story or will they remain exes for good?

The story weaves back and forth between the past and the present yet there is no sense of confusion. The clarity of the story and the smoothness of transition between the phases of being lovers and ex-lovers are largely due to the almost razor-sharp focus on the coupling and uncoupling of Nix and Pia. The distractions, lack of overbearing family members, too talkative friends, and familial problems, are pared down to minimum. The spotlight on Nix and Pia enable Carlo and Angelica to truly shine – from their natural conversations that reflect the language of this generation, unforced laughter and genuinely coy smiles, and even non-awkward awkward lovemaking.

Exes Baggage is a talky film, but there is no single dull moment. Angelica and Carlo are too comfortable with one another and in front of the camera and their chemistry makes even the clingiest jokes or the cheesiest line bearable.
