Last Saturday, after our weekly badminton session, the girls and I decided to watch the movie “My Big Love” which stars Sam Milby as Macky who is an overweight chef, Kristine Hermosa as Niña who is a socialite-columnist, and Toni Gonzaga as Aira who is a gym physical trainer.
Aira is Niña’s physical trainer and Macky has a big crush on this very beautiful celebrity, which he expresses by leaving flowers and pastries on her doorstep. Niña does not have a clue who Macky was and how he looks like not until the day when she finally convinced him thru chat to meet with her in person. That date of course was a disaster. Aira was a witness to how Macky was a die-hard suitor of Niña and she knew how heartbroken he was when that disastrous date happened.
Aira took it as an opportunity to earn by offering herself to be Macky’s personal trainer, to which Macky turned down but soon accepted when he realized how much he really needs to lose weight. He was not able to finish the program sine Aira had to leave for
They were not able to see each other for years, but when they saw each other again, Niña and Macky were already a couple and that left Aira very hurt. Before Aira left for
But Macky became confused when he and Aira started going out. He rediscovered the fun and bubbly personality of Aira that touched his heart. Niña began sensing some problem so she decided to announce their engagement in a big party but before that could happen; she realized she can never be happy if she knows Macky’s big love is Aira and not her.
The movie was cute and heart-warming. The only problem was the prosthetics used on Sam Milby to make him look fat. The color blend on his face was very obvious. You can see his forehead having a different color from the skin tone in his lower eyes. When he turns his back, you can also see the mold of the suit, which could have been easily hidden by making him wear dark colored loose clothing. I also noticed the suit was only up to his thigh, which was really very visible in his pants. Filipino movie makers still really have much to learn when it comes to this stuff.

I think it is not just the prosthetics that we should consider.. in fact, it was a good move to start with (well im not really sure whether this is the first attempt in the Filipino industry to come up with obese-like prosthetics..) Having said that I'd say kudos!!!
But sadly the movie was directed badly, this is just my opinion, I felt watching a 1980's movie wherein Regal films use to make their stars dance in the middle of shopping, at the park, parking lot etc...this is no High School Musical...this is not "You Got Served" or Save the LAst DAnce...because clearly those scenes from My Big LOve where people from the background danced from the supermarket...flyover are way so tasteless...We wanted to stop watching it the moment we saw the first dancing scene, but hey, we love Toni Gonzaga, so we decided to finish it...I checked who directed it and that name I have to remember so that even if I like Toni or any celeb who will be directed by her..hmmm...I might just give it a 2nd thought...I dont wanna waste my money on that kind of style...Just my opinion! :)
