I have always been open to being a fan of John Lloyd Cruz and it’s no surprise that like most Filipino moviegoers, I have watched his latest film, “It Takes A Man and a Woman”, the third installment in the romantic comedy series where he stars opposite Sarah Geronimo. Of course, I laughed heartily, smiled with nostalgia, and bawled my eyes out along with the packed crowd. It was a movie made for the fans – those who have watched “A Very Special Love” and “You Changed My Life” and have empathized for Laida and Miggy, Sarah’s and John Lloyd’s characters in the films. Reflecting on the movie, as I am always inclined to do with every film I watch, I realized why I got hooked with their story. It wasn’t just because of a superficial admiration for the talent of John Lloyd, or the obvious chemistry between the two, or the superb directing by Cathy Garcia-Molina; but it was because of the intelligence and wisdom behind the story and the characters.
