Star Cinema opened 2008 with My Big Love, a romantic
comedy starring a chef with a big heart (not to mention a big belly).
Topbilled by Toni Gonzaga, Sam Milby and Kristine Hermosa, My Big Love is directed by Jade Castro of Endo fame. Fans could hardly recognize Star Magic hunk Sam Milby when he donned a fat suit for his role as Chef Macky.
My Big Love is about the budding romance between Macky (Sam Milby) and Aira (Toni Gonzaga). Macky is an obese chef who is dumped by Niña (Kristine Hermosa), the girl of his dreams. Embarrassed by his size, Macky asks Aira, a personal trainer, to help him lose weight in hopes of winning Niña back. As it turns out, he starts falling in love with Aira, but she is set to go to Japan to earn extra income for her family. When Aira comes back from Japan, Macky has already lost a great deal of weight, thus earning the perfect physique that would please Niña, who is now his girlfriend.
Will Aira be weighed down by falling in love with Macky?
The original DVD of My Big Love is now available in record bars nationwide.
Also available from Star Home Video: the Metro Manila Film Festival 2007 top-grosser, Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo starring the now-engaged couple Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo, and Vhong Navarro's Supah Papalicious.
