Just watched today this romantic movie of Marcus and Joey at SM Megamall. The movie opened on Oct 31 in theaters nationwide and yet there are still people of all walks of life watching the movie. I mean, it's been ten days after it premiered and yet the crowd are still on the queue at Megamall Cinema 12 to watch the movie. During those romantic scenes, the crowd were shouting because of the 'kilig' moments.
Suddenly
It's Magic is a 2012 Filipino-Thai romantic film directed
by Rory Quintos, starring Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales. The film is produced by Star Cinema and
was released last October 31, 2012 in the Philippines.
The story
depicts two star-crossed lovers: Marcus Hanson (Mario Maurer), a Thai superstar, and Joey Hermosa (Erich Gonzales), a Filipina baker. When Marcus decides to fly
to Philippines to escape from his career, he meets Joey. Even though their
worlds collide, the two later fall in love. But their relationship is tested by
conflicts from their worlds.
Plot
Joey Hermosa (Erich
Gonzales) and Marcus Hanson (Mario Maurer) only have two things in common. One:
they live to make fairy-tale romances happen — Joey through her exquisite
wedding cakes; Marcus through the numerous romantic comedies he stars in. Two:
their own love stories do not have the fairy-tale happy endings — she was just
recently dumped at the altar; he just discovered that his on-screen partner and
real-life girlfriend had fallen in love with another man.
These two broken-hearted
people will find love again when they least expect it. Sounds like the perfect
recipe for a sweet ever after!
Desperate to escape the
media frenzy and the intrusive questions of the public about his love life and
career, Marcus impulsively decides to go on vacation in the Philippines where
he meets Joey who is determined to move forward with her life. Marcus finds
himself drawn to Joey’s passion for baking, and rediscovers his love for
acting. In love once again, he invites her to join him in Thailand. Joey
refuses at first, but she eventually follows him to Bangkok and allows herself
to fall in love again. But their love encounters opposition from Marcus’ fans
who are desperate to see him reunite with his ex-girlfriend, and from his
overprotective mother. Moreover, Joey’s responsibilities back home cause a
strain in their relationship. Despite their love for each other, Joey and
Marcus begin to question if their dreams are worth sacrificing for holiday
romance suddenly turned serious.
Can Marcus and Joey’s
fairytale romance survive life’s realities?
