KathNiel stars in “There Was A Boy, There Was A Girl”īesides landing the starring role for ABS-CBN’s remake of ‘Pangako Sa’Yo’, teen royalties Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla also known as KathNiel, will also star in an upcoming Valentine movie. Gabby Concepcion, Lorna Tolentino, Neil Coleta and Kiray Celis are also part of the said film. Kathryn will portray the role of Jackie and Daniel will play the role of Kiko.ĭaniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo or KathNiel fans go gaga over this news and took Twitter by storm as the hashtags “Crazy Beautiful You,” “KathNiel Crazy Beautiful You Movie” and “Meet JackieandKiko On CrazyBeautifulYou” trended last January 24, 2015. Star Cinema PR executive Roxy Liquigan confirmed this news on Instagram. It all feels especially weak since the catalyst for all these strained, emotional statements is just a couple of young boys fighting over some girl.From the working title “There Was A Boy, There Was A Girl,” the post-Valentine’s movie of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo was given the title “Crazy Beautiful You.” It ends up making all the drama feel a little silly. Though these scenes have some interesting insight into what it is to be an outsider in your own family, there isn't really enough time to justify the sudden serious turn. This puppy love relationship is emotionally escalated to the point where Kiko is made to confront the heavy issues that come with being the illegitimate child of a mayor. The two primaries don't even get to the point of kissing each other. This is a romance that takes place over the course of one week. There is a good story in there, but the film can't really support the depth of emotion that this side of the narrative calls for. But it is the gateway to a melodramatic exploration of Kiko's family dynamics. The second half of the picture introduces a third party into the proceedings, one that doesn't really pose much of a threat to the established relationship. If this film were just about these growing closer together, it would be perfectly fine. But as the two spend time with each other, they find commonalities that bind them together. Jackie is determined to just get through the week, rejecting Kiko's efforts at every turn. The mayor's illegitimate son Kiko (Daniel Padilla) is tasked with looking after her and setting her straight. She is promised that if she makes it through a week of living in an Aeta village, her mom will pay for her to live and study in New York. Problem child Jackie (Kathryn Bernardo) is forced to join a medical mission in Tarlac with her mother (Lorna Tolentino). In spite of its formidable charms, this film ends up feeling bipolar the only logical result of a system that only churns out a few kinds of pictures. Matched with a cutesy puppy love romance, this major plotline ends up feeling odd and unjustified. It is a melodramatic tale about an illegitimate child of a politician and his struggle to keep his family afloat. There is a story in this movie that doesn’t really fit well inside the romantic movie mold. Crazy Beautiful You is another example of what appears to be a growing trend in Star Cinema movies.
