My Big Love

Wouldn't pass it up. Thus, even on a weekday, decided to watch My Big Love.


The concept is similar to a Chinese movie I watched wherein it is the girl who is overweight and she wanted to be slim because of the love of her life... hehehe! With "My Big Love", it is the guy who is obese.

To get the girl of his dreams (Kristine Hermosa), an overweight chef (Sam Milby) hires a personal trainer (Toni Gonzaga) to help him lose weight. In the process, they feel a genuine affection for each other. The personal trainer has to go to Japan to earn money, the chef leaves for Ilocos to continue with his programme. Two years later, the personal trainer returns from working abroad while the chef is fit, have his dream girl as his girlfriend. Now, the chef has to make a choice: the girl of his dreams, or the girl who loved him from the start despite of his weight.

Both Toni and Sam has chemistry which makes the movie effective. Kristine sticks out like a sore thumb, which I think is apt for the character she is portraying, that is, someone who is perfect, unreachable, a dream... Of course, adding a Filipino "flavor" makes it different from the Chinese movie with the similar theme.
