My House Husband: Ikaw Na!: A movie you gotta see!

"The movie is timely and beautiful.." 


These are the words that came from the witty Eugene Domingo during the Grand Bloggers' Press Conference of the movie "My House Husband: Ikaw Na!" where she stars together with the beautiful and multi-awarded Judy Ann Santos - Agoncillo, popular tv host & Judy Ann's husband Ryan Agoncillo, one of FHM's sexiest women Ellen Adarna, and rising hearthrob Roco Naccino.


"Ito ang sagot namin sa No Other Woman" 


As this words arise from Ryan Agoncillo, the conference crowd went crazy due to the fact that he also named the three main characters of the movie and pointed out which of them played their own type of role.


The movie is a much awaited dramedy and Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry. It lead its actors to be known for their stellar acting prowess that many believe will weigh in mightily on the Dec. 28 awards night.

THE MAJOR CAST


Judy Ann Santos plays Mia, a mother and wife who is the sole breadwinner of her family. She has been in show business for two decades now and done about 70 movies, many of which have won awards for her from many prestigious award giving bodies. 


In the movie, according to Director Joey Reyes, she delivered a performance as realistic acting that no doubt stems from the fact that her leading man here is her real life husband. This early, many predict Judy Ann is shoo-in for Best Actress in the 2011 MMFF.


On the other hand, Judy Ann's better half, Ryan Agoncillo plays Rod, a man who is bank manager one day then househusband the next. His delineation of provider turned circumstantial housekeeper will have people laughing, thinking, understanding and, perhaps, more accepting of the fact that there is no one formula or set-up that makes a family work. His stellar performance in the movie made him a very strong contender in the Best Actor category.


Comedienne Eugene Domingo plays Aida Capinpin, a mistress who happens to be Rod and Mia's neighbor. With Mia always away, Rod and Aida developed a friendship that created jealousy at a point.


"I've never played a mistress before nor bestfriend to a straight guy. Even in real life, I have lots of girl and gay friends but very few straight guys so I am tackling my role here from a fresh point of view." said she, who's gusto in working on "My House Husband: Ikaw Na!" surely brought out the best in her yet again
