Miss You Like Crazy – Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz

08Feb10

February 2010 will be graced by the presence of the most successful love team in showbiz on the big screen. Star Cinema presents “MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY” starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.

We certainly missed this couple after the box-office hit “One More Chance”. We adored the love story of Basha and Popoy that veered away from the usual cheesy love story. The plot was good, the lines – even better. Can MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY top that film?

Watching the trailer, I’m having hopes for the plot. Interviews say that what makes this film good is that many people can relate to it. It’s a common love story plot that almost everybody can relate to. It’s a perfect meeting of two people with a side glitch of a third party.

It’s the classic, “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang” (come on, you know the lyrcis. It was once a national anthem)

I have no doubts with John Lloyd and Bea’s performance. As always, they are always top-notch. They’re perfectly in their respective characters.

ALTHOUGH. I don’t really like the idea of their characters – in general profile. John Lloyd is Allan, the serious guy and Bea Alonzo is Mia, the happy gal. Bea says that it’s different from her personality. Ibang-iba daw. But I don’t think it’s that far from Basha or Marian (Close to You). Still, it’s raw judgment. We still have to see the movie.

I really like Bea Alonzo. I believe in her talent. I believe in the so many things that she can do on TV and movies. I’m really hoping that she’s given a more serious project that is apart from romantic-comedies and love teams.

In Philippine cinema, there’s an awful need for better tandems of writers and directors.
