Advertising man Noel (Marco Gumabao) and aspiring novelist Alice (Kylie Versoza) were college sweethearts and were now married. Alice got into a love affair with mango farmer Dennis (Adrian Alandy). When Noel found out, he split up with Alice and got into an affair with litigation lawyer Loida (Cindy Miranda). During their time apart, Noel and Alice realized they missed each other and began to meet again on the sly.
This new film proudly carries the name of its illustrious writer, Ricky Lee, above its very literal, plot-revealing title. Director McArthur Alejandre took this lurid potboiler plot and conjured this glossy steamy feature film from it, taking full advantage of his attractive quartet of actors. The story is about adultery and its various permutations, so there will be quite a number of sex scenes, even in parts when you do not exactly expect one.
The two beautiful actresses here have been in several other sexy films this year alone. Each had just come from their respective star-making vehicles where they played the title character. 29-year old Kylie Versoza starred in Roman Perez, Jr.'s "The Housemaid," while 31-year old Cindy Miranda starred in Law Fajardo's "Nerisa," both films also on the Vivamax lineup. Both of them exuded sexiness effortlessly, even if they were fully clothed.
After being Anne Curtis's object of desire in Jason Paul Laxamana's "Just A Stranger" (2019), and Lovi Poe's in Joel Lamangan's "Hindi Tayo Puwede" (2020), 27-year old Marco Gumabao became Sharon Cuneta's dreamboat in Darryl Yap's "Revirginized" this year. Adrian Alandy was more known as a dramatic actor in the past when he was known as Luis Alandy. His present age of 41 did not deter him from daring to bare with his much younger co-stars here.
With a story this convoluted and ultimately melodramatic, this film mainly rode on the chemistry of the actors with each other to keep matters engaging. There is nudity, but prudently done. Director Alejandre tried to keep things classy, making conscious efforts to keep certain body parts hidden or obscured. Given the elaborate build-up of their intertwined relationships, the final resolution was not entirely satisfactory as it took a turn towards vagueness. 4/10.
Nice
