Ronnie Alonte, Loisa Andalio and Donny Pangilinan topbill Star Cinema's Offering 'James Pat and Dave'

 Three of today's upcoming young stars --- Ronnie Alonte, Loisa Andalio, and Donny Pangilinan --- are set to be your Valentine's date this 2020 with ABS-CBN Films-Star Cinema's February offering 'James and Pat and Dave.'

'James and Pat and Dave,' a coming-of-age love story, is a sequel to the hit romantic comedy movie of 2016, 'Vince and Kath and James.'

Still helmed by the director Theodore Boborol, the film revolves on what it takes and how it feels to become unchosen, which in this case is experienced by Ronnie's character, James Raymundo, coming from the prequel.

"Naisip namin sa Star Cinema na what if ikwento naman natin 'yung istorya ng taong hindi napipili. May mahanap ba silang happy ending? May love story nga ba sila? Bakit nga ba sila hindi pinili?" says Direk Ted.

The hardheaded guy is exiled by his grandmother as a hostel employee. There, he meets the assistant manager Pat Reyes (Loisa Andalio), who is assigned to train him.

In a game of cat and mouse, Pat, who also does online vegetable selling to fully support her brother, tries to straighten James up while he tries to get out of doing the hard work. James finds an opportunity to make Pat recommend a raise for him when she needs him to pretend to be her boyfriend to get rid of her returning ex, Dave Verona, portrayed by Donny Pangilinan.

As they discover the rejected souls behind their banter and bravado, they find themselves falling in love for real. Will James be chosen this time?

"Ito 'yung buhay ni James. Ano ang buhay ng hindi pinili? 'Yun ang aabangan ng mga tao," Ronnie shares. "Excited ako, Sana ma-appreciate nila."

Headlining a Valentine's movie is a dream come true for the three.

"Nakakakilig kasi dati nag-aabang lang ako tuwing Valentine's ng mga ipapalabas ng Star Cinema. Ngayon, kaming tatlo yung nandito kaya sobrang blessed and honored talaga," says Loisa.

"I also believe this is also my biggest break," says Donny. "I watched the first movie (VKJ), so gusto ko rin makita talaga ano mangyayari this time." 

Joining the cast of James and Pat and Dave are Awra Briguela, Myrtle Sarrosa, Ana Abad Santos, Bobby Andrews, Isay Alvarez, Bodjie Pascua, Ms. Odette Khan, and introducing CJ Salonga.

'James and Pat and Dave' is set to make moviegoers' hearts happy starting February 12 in cinemas.
