Ligo na Ü, Lapit na Me (Star Crossed Love) (literal translation: Take a Shower, I'm Almost Near) is an independent Filipino movie released on July 2011 through Noel Ferrer Productions. Based on the bestselling book by Eros Atalia, this was an official entry to the 7th Cinemalaya Film Festival. The movie was directed by Erick C. Salud and was given a R18 rating by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board.

The movie's storyline evolves around Karl Vladimir Lennon J. Villalobos or simply Intoy (Edgar Allan Guzman), a college student who met newcomer Jenny (Mercedes Cabral) and the ups and downs of their 'relationship'. It was categorized as 'sex comedy' and considered a successful one in the box office despite being independently released.

Plot

Karl Vladimir Lennon J. Villalobos, aka Intoy, is secretly in love with his friend Jenny, the most beautiful girl in the campus. Jenny is rich and quirky; Intoy is street-smart and ordinary. But this friendship is not simple, since Jenny has bestowed on Intoy some perks and privileges, including going to bed with her on the condition that they will not fall in love with each other. Before graduation, Intoy feels that he has to shed his pretensions of being astig and finally profess his love for Jenny. But he is devastated to learn that Jenny is pregnant. Worse, Jenny tells him: "Don’t worry, this is not yours." Based on the bestselling novel of Eros S. Atalia, Ligo na U, Lapit na Me is an examination of postmodern love and relationship and the way this generation deals with their love and fear.[1]
