MANILA, Philippines - Still basking in the back-to-back success of their two 2009 Star Cinema starrers, A Very Special Love (with a gross of over P176M) and You Changed My Life (P209M), John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo (photo) are together again to resume their never-ending love story in It Takes A Man and A Woman, another offering from the same company in a joint venture with Viva Films.
Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, one of Star Cinema’s box-office directors noted for weaving radically enchanting love stories, It Takes A Man and A Woman was partly filmed in New York which was then covered with snow that partly symbolized the momentary coldness in the relationship of Sarah and John Lloyd’s characters.
“The movie will make moviegoers hark back to everything beautiful that Sarah and John Lloyd’s characters experienced in their past two movies,” assured direk Cathy, “and will make them ask for more.”
The movie also stars Isabelle Daza as the girl who comes between Sarah and John Lloyd during a gap in their romance.
Showing in more than 100 theaters nationwide starting March 30, Black Saturday, the story of It Takes A Man and A Woman is capsulized thus: She just loved him from afar — not giving a damn about his ego that is as big as his billboard. He used to be a monster boss — hungry for approval and caring about nothing but to stay on top. Until they shared A VERY SPECIAL LOVE, one that CHANGED THEIR LIVES forever.
In the story, Sarah plays Laida Magtalas, a firm believer in true love amid life’s pains and down cycles. John Lloyd plays Miggy Montenegro, the heir to the huge family business. The lovers survived a long-distance relationship when Laida left for Canada. But when Miggy’s father (played by Dante Rivero) dies, Laida is nowhere for him to turn to, she who is his pillar of strength, so he turns to the arms of Belle Laurel (Isabelle), his former sweetheart. When Laida returns from Canada, she catches Miggy in the arms of Belle, so feeling broken-hearted and betrayed, she moves to New York where she gets a job as editorial coordinator of a magazine which, without her knowing it, will lead to her meeting Miggy again and their… eventual reconciliation?
