After romancing a hunk actor in the box-office hit romantic-comedy Love is Blind, diminutive comedienne Kiray Celis pays lip service to a handsome chinito in a movie that will launch her to full stardom on July 6.
Yes, you heard it right. Celis had a romantic interlude with the desirable hunk Derek Ramsay in Love is Blind. This time she gets to be passionate, short of being lurid, in her love scenes with Enchong Dee in I Love You To Death.
The movie is this year’s most riotous comedy horror movie from Regal Entertainment, Inc., producer of such blockbusters The Haunted Mansion and Love is Blind.
In the film, Gwen (Kiray) and Tonton (Enchong) are childhood sweethearts born and raised in the province. They promise to love, marry and be with each other until death do they part.
Tonton proposes marriage to Gwen with an heirloom piece from his late grandmother.
When she leaves for Manila, Gwen, who is at the top of her class, meets new friends. Her newfound companions are a bunch of gorgeous women, only they are natural bitches.
Tonton has remained the nerdy type whose look is often the butt of joke among his friends. Because of this, he and Gwen part ways. She then loses contact with him permanently.
As days pass, Gwen notices how different she is from her group of gorgeous friends. They all have boyfriends. She never had one.
Gwen then grows tired of being the brainy kind. She wants change… to be confidently beautiful with a heart. So, on her 20th birthday, she wishes to meet the guy who would die for her.
And so, Gwen gets her wish. The man of her dreams suddenly appears – handsome, hunky and desirable Tonton. Bent on having a love life, she accepts her childhood friend’s marriage proposal despite her loved ones’ and friends’ disapproval.
Gwen and Tonton set their altar date but on their very wedding day, the bride uncovers the mystery behind her groom’s undying love.
Catch Kiray in her wackiest performance in “ILYTD,” inspired as she is working with real-life crush Enchong.
No wonder, director Miko Livelo’s work at bringing out Kiray’s comic talent was effortless. Enchong, in fact, says this of Kiray: “She’s an actress!”
Witness Gwen and Tonton’s odd love story in I Love You to Death and find out if it this line is true: “Nakakamatay nga ba ang pag-ibig?” Which is apt, “’Til death do us part” or “I love you to death?”
