GIVEN nang mahusay talagang umarte si John Lloyd Cruz. Kaya, 'di nakapagtatakang he delivered a fine performance as someone being pursued — na gustong magpakipot — by a pretty girl na may kursunada sa kanya sa Now That I Have You.
It was actually Bea Alonzo who proved a revelation in the movie, which is now showing. As the young call center employee na head over heels ang paghanga (na nauwi sa pagmamahal) sa isang lalaking nakakasabay lang niyang sumakay sa MRT, magaling siya. Napakagaling! Kapani-paniwala siya as a girl who'll do everything — her best — para lang mapansin, at eventually ay mapaibig, ang lalaking gusto niya. Aakalain tuloy ng manonood na posible nga palang ang babae ang mag-make ng first move, wika nga.
Ang maituturing na asset ng Now That I Have You ay ang script nito. Crispy, down-to-earth at very "in" ang mga dialogue. Sa genre na ito mo maaasahan at hahangaan si Direk Jose Javier Reyes. Alam na alam niya talaga ang pulso at most current among the young.
Well-distributed din ang roles. Thanks to Laurenti Dyogi, who proved once more that he is the movie director to reckon with at the moment. No wonder that, on his own, he has a big following. Feel mo all throughout the film ang importance na ibinibigay niya sa kanyang stars.
Halimbawa, si Nikki Valdez, who seems na kina-career na ang pagiging komedyante, ay consistent sa kanyang pagiging kikay sa pelikula. Aba, there's no dull moment every time she enters the scene.
Mabibilang sa daliri ang number of times na lumabas sa big screen sina Kristopher Peralta at Lui Villaruz. Yet, you will feel na without them, magiging incomplete ang Now That I Have You.
In the Star Cinema production, Rio Locsin proved that if you are really a good actress, no matter how small your role is, you will still shine. Bagay silang mag-ina ni Bea.
Magagaling din sina Jean Saburit (who appeared in only two scenes), Noel Colet (na dapat ay magbawas ng timbang), Cholo Escano and John Arcilla.
Watch Now That I Have You. And feel good and entertained.
