In the film, magkapatid at mag-best friend sila—isang may kaya, si Cita (Sharon) na isang doktora na may businessman na asawa (Christopher de Leon); habang si Lisa (Juday) ay nakakaraos lang sa buhay sa piling ng asawang band member (Dingdong Dantes). They are each other’s biggest supporter until a tragedy strikes na lalamat sa kanilang kapatiran.

The 2002 drama movie Magkapatid is the first and only movie of Judy Ann Santos and Megastar Sharon Cuneta (hindi counted ang cameo role ni Ate Shawie sa 2009 Regal movie ni Juday na OMG (Oh, My Girl).

Kumita at tinangkilik naman ito nang husto ng pinagsamang pwersa ng kanilang fandoms kaya’t nakapagtatakang hindi na nasundan. (Baka masyadong mahal ang combined TF nila?).

They are each other’s biggest supporter until a tragedy strikes na lalamat sa kanilang kapatiran.

Even in real life, mahirap mabalik ang pagmamahalan pag nalamatan na. In the story’s case, involved pa ang mga anak nila. Pipiliin kaya nilang buuing muli ang pamilya o tuluyang puputulin ang ugnayang sinubok ng tadhana.

Akting kung akting ang mga reyna sa well-crafted Joel Lamangan film na ito. No wonder, naghakot ito ng awards sa revived Manila Film Festival noong 2002—Best Picture, Best Director (Joel Lamangan), Best Actress (Sharon Cuneta), Best Sound (Albert Michael Idioma), Best Story (Mel del Rosario, Best Screenplay (Mel del Rosario).

It also gave Sharon a FAMAS nomination (for best actress) and URIAN nominations (for best supporting actress) that year.

Pero kung naging estranged man ang naging relasyon nina Juday at Mega sa istorya, naging kabaligtaran naman ito offscreen dahil sa set ng Magkapatid nagsimula ang lifelong sisterhood nina Juday at Sharon na mas tumitibay pa sa pagdaan ng panahon.

Naging real-life ate na ni Juday si Mega and theirs became one of the most enviable friendships in showbiz. Naitala na at hindi na mabubura pa.
