Angelica, Eugene go for big laughs in “Here Comes the Bride”

PRLog (Press Release) - May 07, 2010 -
Riding high on the recent box-office success of the Sam Milby-Anne Curtis light romantic comedy, Babe, I Love You, ABS-CBN International’s Starry Starry Store goes full throttle with the laughs via the hilarious new film, Here Comes the Bride, a joint summer offering from Star Cinema, Octoarts and Quantum Films.  The film will screen in San Francisco, Milpitas, Vallejo, San Diego, Los Angeles-Buena Park, Los Angeles-Chino and New Jersey-Bergenfield.

Here Comes the Bride stars the versatile and sexy Angelica Panganiban and the eternally wacky Eugene Domingo.  Angelica has already scored a winner this year in the U.S. with the mature drama I Love You, Goodbye back in January. Eugene proved she can carry a movie by playing the title role in Kimmy Dora: Kambal Sa Kiyeme which was a major hit in the Philippines last year. Joining them in this new film is a very able supporting cast with Tuesday Vargas, Cherry Pie Picache, Jaime Fabregas, John Lapus, Kim Atienza, Tom Rodriguez and a host of unknown good-looking creatures in skimpy clothing.

The plot is delightfully original and incredible, mixing cultural superstitions and pseudoscience to generate humorous situations of the metaphysical kind.  Gentleman Harold (Tom) and the virginal Stefanie (Angelica) are set to have a romantic beach wedding.  They did not factor in that their wedding day coincides with a solar eclipse. As their guests - which include their spinster godmother Precy (Eugene), the ring-bearer’s harassed nanny Medelyn (Tuesday), the bored groom’s grandfather Bien (Jaime) and flamboyant make-up artist Toffee (John) – head for the wedding site, they pass a high magnetic field spot.  Showing shades of the Bermuda Triangle mystery on ground, a freak accident occurs where everyone loses consciousness. The result?  An absolutely chaotic soul exchange that threatens to mess up the lives of the entire bridal entourage forever! Will the wedding ever push through for Harold and Stefanie?

“It’s a pandemonium of a movie but it’s a lot of fun,” laughed Kerwin Du, ABS-CBN International’s head of theatricals. “That’s the kind of mood that we want to create this summer – we want to bring in a barrel of laughter, have families go to the theater, enjoy watching a Filipino film and have a real good time.”
