In “That Kind of Love,” director Catherine Camarillo and screenwriter Ellis Katrina craft a sparkling modern romance that captivates audiences with its charm and sophistication. Featuring the radiant Barbie Forteza and the charismatic David Licauco, the film transports their undeniable chemistry from the beloved TV series “Maria Clara and Ibarra” into a contemporary setting.
Barbie Forteza takes on the role of Mila, a love guru who helps wealthy businessman Adam, portrayed by David Licauco, find his match. Forteza’s performance is a revelation, shedding her teenybopper image for a sleek, stylish, and sophisticated persona. Licauco plays the dapper and dashing Adam, whose eyes, with their mischievous glint, make him irresistibly charming.
The film’s visual appeal is evident in every frame, from its picturesque locations to its fashionable wardrobe choices, all of which enhance the story’s polished look. Young screenwriter Ellis Katrina’s dialogue sparkles, adding depth and wit to the narrative. The camera’s adoration of the lead duo, collectively known as BarDa, is palpable, capturing their chemistry in every scene.
“That Kind of Love” is more than just a romantic comedy; it’s a showcase of Forteza and Licauco’s growth as actors. Forteza embodies a mature, confident woman, while Licauco’s Adam is a heartthrob who can sweep anyone off their feet. Fans will relish the “kilig” moments, served in generous doses, assuring that they will leave cinemas with hearts full and smiles wide.
