Change in life or change of heart?

MANILA, Philippines—Imagine being the scion of a prominent business clan: You’re wealthy, smart, and on your way to the top. Along the way, you fall in love with your quirky assistant. All is well in the world until … she changes your life in a moment, and not in a good way.
Her voice intermittently fills the boardroom with the cringe-inducing alert-tone, “Bebe ko! Bebe ko!” Instead of passionate kisses, you get a “power hug” or at best, a hurriedly-negotiated, four-second brother-sisterly smack.
To top it off, she’s childish, emotionally immature, and clingy. But worse, her idea of being a good girlfriend is to quit her job and follow you around all day. Having a change of heart yet?
These are the important questions a number of serious viewers are likely to ask while watching Star Cinema’s “You Changed My Life,” the sequel to the 2008 blockbuster, “A Very Special Love.”
Top-billed by John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo, it takes off from where the previous movie left off: six months into the rich boy-falls-for-poor girl ending of the previous movie.
Unhinged
The transition is almost flawless, and we immediately get lost in the hustle and bustle of the couple’s daily balancing act. Laida (Geronimo) has been promoted; Miggy (Cruz) is being groomed by his stepbrother Art (Rowell Santiago) as his next-in-line. Laida and Miggy’s romance is in full bloom.
But things go haywire when Miggy gets a major promotion. Under pressure from his family, he is unable to give Laida the level of attention she expects. Eventually, she becomes unhinged.
Disturbing as Laida’s behavior may be (one fears her overly-romanticized and fantasized view on love might send the wrong message to young, impressionable viewers), the movie still corrects the heroine’s deficiencies at the last minute.
Only then will you realize that this more-than-two-hours-long movie is ultimately about a twentysomething girl realizing her adolescent views on love and relationships no longer apply.
Palpable chemistry
There’s no denying that Geronimo and Cruz have genuine, palpable chemistry. This time around, Cruz gets to show a different dimension of the character he portrays, the more sensitive and sometimes carefree side unleashed by the always cheery and unabashed romantic, Laida.
Geronimo also shows us that her surprising turn as a box office queen is no fluke. She’s charming, unpretentious, funny and sincere—qualities that we imagine many female audiences can easily relate to.
The reason why this “franchise” is highly popular is now more evident. There’s no overly-complicated drama, no over-reaching dramatic sidelights. In short, it’s a feel-good story that many people can situate themselves in.
Of course this doesn’t mean that director Cathy Garcia-Molina doesn’t try to give the story a little more texture and depth. As it’s an improvement on the first movie, many supporting actors are given their much-deserved screen time and character development.
Superb sub-plots
As in the first movie, Rowell Santiago gives a strong, convincing performance as Miggy’s elder brother, the over-achieving Art. As it turns out, his backstory provides an important parallel to the young lovers’ conflicted story. Indeed, this would have been an entirely different movie without Santiago’s strong performance, the quality of which even seems misplaced in a lightweight movie.
Cameo appearances by Mikee Cojuangco, as Santiago’s ex-flame, also give this flick a major boost. It’s actually her character and her subtle, convincing performance that brings this movie into a more realistic plane. And with only so few lines, audiences are made to think of the what-ifs that could face the young protagonists.
She is to this movie as Anne Hathaway is to “Brokeback Mountain”: The one thing that makes the movie even more worthwhile, even for those who don’t or can’t relate to the main story.
Minor hitches include Rayver Cruz or the underdeveloped sub-plot his character (as the former best friend of Laida and a potential “threat” to Miggy) presents; scripting that could have been improved; overuse of romantic devices carried over from the previous film.
Another issue: You know when young starlets do daring love scenes or shed their clothes and justify it as being “necessary to the story” even if it isn’t? Well, if there’s one movie that truly deserved a kissing scene, this is it. But instead of a sweet ending that could give fans of this genre that warm feeling as they walk out of the theater, they leave knowing there was an effort to fake a kiss.
