I have to admit that rom coms is not exactly my cup of tea, as I usually find them superficial to the point of silliness. “Mr and Mrs Cruz”, however, is anything but, particularly due to Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo’s approach, who treats the film much like a stage play, while also including some tour guide elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story revolves around two complete strangers, Raffy and Gela, who take part in a group excursion in Palawan, each on their own. Their common, titular surname, though, has the rest of the group mistaking them for a married couple, with the two of them, eventually going along with it. Raffy is on a trip to remember and Gela on one to forget, and their past, “failed” relationships eventually bring the two closer together, even more so since they end up sharing the same room hotel. A number of visits in the beautiful sceneries of the area and an even larger number of tequila shots, make the two open up about their personal feelings, and somewhere between the dialogue and the trip, their healing begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
