Film Reviews: "...To recall, the senior and junior movie queens appeared in these movies: Bulaklak at Paru-paro (1970), Mga Reynang Walang Trono(1976) and Asawa Ko, Huwag Mong Agawin (1986). Amalia directed Vilma’s episode in Mga Reyna and agreed to second billing to Vilma in Asawa Ko. No doubt about it, Amalia Muhlach Sumilang Fuentes, is a Vilmanian. To seal their sisterhood and camaraderie, Vilma is Ninang to Liezl Martinez and to the latter’s son Alfonso. Why, Liezl even sang a song ’’Wind Beneath My Wings’ to her surprised mother that night which drove the strong-willed and still beautiful Amalia to tears. A Kodak moment, indeed. Priceless! While interviewing the three Muhlach generations, Fuentes, Liezl and young daughter Aliyanna, Amalia revealed to Vilma that she is protective of her ’unica hija’ Liezl. ”Ay naku, I think I also have become like my Mom, I’m also very protective of my children,” Liezl remarks..." - Mario O.

"...You can never go wrong if you choose a Vilma Santos film and if you want a story that gives a different twist to the "other woman" issue, then Asawa Ko Huwag Mong Agawin might give you the satisfaction you are aiming for. It shows two women in their usual roles and stereotypes: the other woman who knows all about pleasures and the wife who knows all about pain..." - Bon Ching (READ MORE)

"...Ang tatay ni KC Concepcion na si Gabby Concepcion ay isa rin sa mga kaibigan ni Vi. Ilan ding pelikula ang ginawa ni Vi at Gabby katulad ng Pahiram Ng Isan Umaga, Sinungaling Mong Puso, Hahamakin Lahat, Ibigay Mo Sa Akin Ang Bukas at Asawa Ko Huwag Mong Agawin. Sa pelikulang Bukas Sisikat Din Ang Araw, kung saan si Gabby ang prodyuser ay naging special guest si Vi na sa totoo lang ay halos kasinlaki ang billing niya (Vi) sa mga major characters nito. Isa sa mga anak ni Gabby, anak niya kay Grace Ibuna ay inaanak ni Vi katuwang sina Lorna Tolentino, Alma Moreno, Snooky Serna at Maricel Soriano. Noong last episode ng Vilma show sa GMA 7 ay isa si Gabby sa mga special guests ni Vi at nag-compose pa ng tula si Gabby para kay Vi. Noon namang nagkaroon ng problema si Gabby dahil sa kontrobersiya sa Manila Film Festival noong 1994 ay isa si Vi sa mga naging sabihan niya ng kanyang mga problema. Si Gabby ay naging best supporting actor ng Star Awards for Movies noong 1992 para sa pelikulang Sinungaling Mong Puso, best actor ng Urian noong 1992 para sa Narito Ang Puso Ko at best supporting actor ng Urian para sa pelikulang Makiusap Ka Sa Diyos noong 1991..." - Alfonso Valencia (READ MORE)

"...Sa mga Pinoy movie, paboritong tema na ang mga love triangle. Gustong-gusto natin sa mga drama ang mga nagbabangayan na dalawang babae para sa atensyon ng iisang lalaki. Sino ang inagawan at sino ang nang-agaw?...Kaya heto ang ilang pelikula na puwedeng i-connect sa nangyaya­ring issue ngayon kina Bea, Gerald at Julia…Mula sa direksyon ni Emmanuel Borlaza, kuwento ito ni Cathy (Vilma Santos) na nagkaroon ng hindi magandang pakikipaghiwalay sa kanyang boyfriend na si Mike (Gabby Concepcion). Nakilala niya ang isang may asawang lalaki, Bert Paredes (Eddie Gutierrez) na hindi masaya sa piling ng kanyang misis na si Dr. Alice Paredes (Amalia Fuentes). Pinapakita rito ang epekto ng isang unhappy marriage at pati ang kanilang mga anak (Sheryl Cruz and Gretchen Barretto) ay naaapektuhan sa pagkakaroon ng illicit affair ng kanilang ama. Heto ang memorable line ni Vilma: “No woman can seduce a happy husband, pag hindi mo pa rin maintindihan ‘yan bakit hindi mo sampalin ang sarili mo para matauhan ka!.." - Ruel Mendoza, Abante, 27 July 2019 (READ MORE)
