Joel Lamangan and Eric Quizon direct this big-hearted romantic comedy set in modern Manila. Annie (Lorna Tolentino) is hell-bent on finding Mr. Right. After a long and difficult search, she thinks that she has found him in the guise of Ron (Albert Martinez), a rising young executive. Ron seems completely unaware of Annie's pronounced attraction to him until he gets drunk at an office party, and he and Annie stumble off to have sex in his car. Ron has little interest in marrying her, largely because he is gay and deeply attached to his lover Nick (Quizon). One month later -- after learning that she is pregnant -- Annie appears at Ron's doorstep with her belongings in tow and immediately tries to "convert" him. This film was screened at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
