RICHARD-MARIAN MAKE A DATE MOVIE

Mario E. Bautista
January 15, 2008

THE title of the Richard Gutierrez-Marian Rivera movie is no longer “A Very Special Love”. It will now be “My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend,” which is said to be its original title.

With this kind of title, it’s obvious it’s somehow inspired by the popular Julia Roberts’ romantic comedy, “My Bestfriend’s Wedding,” that earlier also inspired the title “My Kuya’s Wedding” of Ryan Agoncillo.

Richard had three Valentines flicks in a row, all with Angel Locsin. Let’s see if his tandem with Marian now will be as successful as the films he did with Angel. Supporting them in “My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend” are JC De Vera and Ehra Madrigal, both wards of Richard’s mom, Annabelle Rama.

Some quarters say Star Cinema is pitting their “Big Love” with Toni Gonzaga and Sam Milby against “My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend,” but we doubt it. ABS-CBN promote their films well and if they’re releasing “Big Love” in time for Valentine, they would have started drumbeating it a long time ago. The fact that it’s now the middle of January and they haven’t even called for a presscon for this movie means they have no intention at all of releasing it on the Day of Hearts. Toni Gonzaga has a presscon but it’s meant to promote her first solo concert.
