Now we know how riotously romantic the romcom film "The Last Fool Show" will be when it starts showing nationwide on April 10. It's lead stars Arci Muñozand JM Guzman treated the press and the bloggers to about a full hour of their "laglagan" convo at the grand press conference for the film Saturday noon (March 30) at Tipsy Pig Gastro Bar in Timog Ave., QC.
Arci revealed to JM for the first time that when they were doing backstage work together at UP Diliman, where they both took up Theater Arts, she thought JM was gay --"dahil ang paniwala naman naming lahat na babaeng Theater Arts major, halos lahat ng kaklase naming lalake ay bading!"
Arci added that JM was chubby and "malamya" at that time.
JM could hardly believe that it was how Arci regarded him and he went on to reveal that they were a close barkada at that time.
"Pero nung pumasok ka sa wrestling nung tapos na tayo ng college, naiisip ko na di ka pala bading!" quipped Arci.
JM shot back: "Good that you didn't conclude na gay talaga ako dahil nakikipagyakapan ako sa lalake!"
Well, that's a sample of how the exchanges between them went while fielding questions from the press.
Their being both irrepressible is put to good use in the film directed by Eduardo Roy Jr. since it deals with an indie filmmaker (portrayed by Arci) who decides to make a mainstream movie about a guy's effort to win back an ex-girlfriend whom he has junked. JM plays the ex. While doing the film, though, the ex-boyfriend began to stage a comeback, perhaps lured to do so by the ex-girlfriend always associating--in her mind-- the scenes she shoots for her film with what really happened in real life with her and the ex-boyfriend.
Remember, "The Last Fool Show" is a romcom, not a syrup-sweet, syrup-sticky romance.
