The much awaited dramedy in this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF)–“My Househusband: Ikaw Na!”–has lead actors known for stellar acting prowess that many believe will weigh in mightily come awards night on Dec. 28.
The film was graded B by the Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB), proof that the movie is really good. My Househusband Ikaw Na! is topbilled by Judy Ann Santos, Ryan Agoncillo and Eugene Domingo.
Judy Ann Santos, who, in the movie, plays Mia, a mother and wife who is the sole breadwinner of her family, is not touted young superstar for nothing. She has been in show business for 23 years now and has done about 70 movies, many of which have won awards for her from many prestigious award giving bodies. Her unmatched mettle is also celebrated on television, making her not only a multi-hyphenate celebrity but a bankable one across media.
Although Ryan Agoncillo is better known as TV host, and one of the best ones in his generation too, he is a strong contender in the Best Actor category for playing Rod, a man who is bank manager one day then househusband the next. “My Househusband: Ikaw Na!” is certainly Ryan’s movie more than any one else’s as he has the most number of scenes among the cast members. But more than that, 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.
Comedienne Eugene Domingo has been winning awards left and right for five years in a row now. More, she is one of few actresses—if not the only one—in the Philippine entertainment history to have participated in six films produced by eight different Filipino production companies within a year. To say that she is great at what she does and is one of the most in-demand actresses these days is an understatement.
Guiding the actors in giving their best in “My Househusband: Ikaw Na!” is Direk Joey, who, himself, is no stranger to awards. Many of his works have also become modern classics some of which also featured Ryan, Judy Ann and Eugene. He has said in recent interviews that his latest film is important in his career in that he plans to redirect his career should he win Best Director yet again.
With the stellar acting prowess of its talents and the very relatable story of “My Househusband: Ikaw Na!,” the film is expected to bring home multiple trophies come 2011 MMFF awards night.
