Based on a PETA musicale play of the same title created by Vincent De Jesus, Changing Partners revolves around Alex and Cris who are celebrating their first anniversary as a live-in couple. Though they are very much in love with each other despite their 15-year age gap, Alex and Cris navigate the different challenges that comes with their relationship. Changing Partners is a love story that is shown through the perspective of different genders, showing how a real relationship works.


With a cutting-edge take on on gender and romantic romantic relationships, Changing Partners showcases an amazing ensemble cast featuring Agot Isidro, Jojit Lorenzo, Anna Luna, and Sandino Martin.

Changing Partners aims to probe on the age-old question on whether the perfect match between couples really exist. The film is essentially a story about falling in love and falling out of love and all the the realities that goes with it.

Rappler wrote that Changing Partners is masterfully crafted; it satisfies without a doubt as it is “accompanied with all the witty lines that laces heartbreak with wayward humour and melodies that enunciate the ache. Spot.ph writer Clinton Palanca said that, “The concept of the movie is brilliant. The different couplings of the play immediately present it as a play about the universality of love and nature of relationships and at doing this succeeds beyond question.”

Those who watched the film during last year’s festival are all raving about director Dan Villegas’ direction on the seamless shifting of scenes and characters throughout the film. The four actors delivered performances that are believable and relatable to the viewers despite the duality of their characters.

An Unexpected RomCom Movie, Mr. and Mrs. Cruz Now Showing

3:42:00 AM

If you have watched the movie Kita Kita then you'll probably say 'Ah that's why', because its the same writer and director who brought this film Mr. and Mrs. Cruz. An unexpected romance comedy movie that you'll definitely relate too. This is not just a one-sided story but I think it goes on both ways. That is on the male and female perspective of course.

The movie are starred by Ryza Cenon and JC Santos. Ryza who by the way is one great and rising actress from being the antagonist role of Georgia in "Ika-6 Na Utos" to a monstrous yet timid role of Jewel in "Ang Manananggal sa Unit  23B. While JC Santos who have been also lined up in so many roles like the uncovering of Ali's personality in "Till I Met You" to a stammering character of Fidel in "100 Tula Para Kay Stella". Both of them has been to a number of roles that seeing them in this latest movie "Mr. & Mrs. Cruz" somehow gave a different take of their acting ability. Not a heavy drama nor an action pack acting but more of subtle but meaning hits of the lines.


The movie "Mr. and Mrs. Cruz" tells a story of two people embarking on a journey of finding themselves, separately, but fate find ways to meet them together in an awkward and unexpected trip. What's more intriguing is that they both have the same surname that makes them more like a couple. The first few parts is, well a dragging conversation between the two with their jokes and ideas eventually their stories.

JC Santos plays the role of Raffy Cruz, a mechanic by profession who doesn't believe in marriage, that's after his bride to be runs away on the day of their wedding.

Ryza Cenon, on the other hand plays the role of Gela Cruz, the Mrs. Gela Cruz who happens to be a mysteriously looking woman who hides her past. She believes in the traditional values of marriage.

Now having both of them in a very beautiful island, good scenic view, enticing beach and in a magical Underground River in Puerto Princesa keeps both of the characters romantic enough to build the chemistry together. Not the usual set up of falling in love story but a more slow pace building of emotions. Now I don't know but perhaps you too can find Nemo or Dory in Palawan.

It's just that everyone is excited to watch the movie of Janella Salvador and Elmo Magalona entitled My Fairy Tail Love story. This movie is one of the anticipated movie with aquatic filled love story with a twist. Not twisting the fins but the of how the story goes perhaps. Maybe this movie will let your life be filled with giggled love on the day of hearts.

Here are my 4 reasons to share why it is a must watch movie.
  • Fans of Elmo and Janella will surely love to see their idols on the big screen together.   
  • We all love fairy tales, mermaid stories and of the best seller of all time, the love story. This movie has it and is enticing enough to spend some few hours to watch it.  
  • I'm sure most of you would love to see the ocean and it gives a bit of relaxation whenever there's an ocean scene in every movie.  
  • Hey it's Valentines Day and I'm sure you'll be spending the day with your loved ones. If you're single go find one. 
If you think you have the grasp of the story, well think again because movies nowadays are more interesting to watch with their little out-of-the-box thingy. And I'm sure there will be something more to expect.
