Maricel Soriano returns to comedy

Maricel Soriano, the diamond star, is back on the comedy front.
This good news to her fans was reported by entertainment editor Isah V. Red in his Manila Standard Today column as he called on the fans to open champagne bottles and toast each other since it has been a long time that she has been out of circulation.
The award-winning actress resurrected herself by appearing in a movie playing a role that may be considered her movie “comeback.”
Wenn Deramas, tagged by the tabloid press as the “box-office director,” had convinced the actress to top bill Star Cinema’s new movie entitled “Momzillas,” according to the columnist. The movie which is directed by Wenn is from a story he had written with Keiko Aquino.

In the movie, Maricelplays a mother along with co-star Eugene Domingo who said, “Masaya ito,” referring to the movie.
“Riot ito,” said Maricel herself during  the press conference at ABS-CBN for the movie. After doing drama both on TV and in film, the movie is a welcome breather, she said.
In the movie, Billy Crawford and Andi Eigenmann play sweethearts, Isah Red wrote, adding irony is both are children of Soriano and Domingo from different fathers.
Crawford and Eigenmann hatch a plan for their feuding moms’ reconciliation, but their mothers get lost in a remote island where they are forced to work and settle their issues to survive. They become friends again. What they don’t know is that their children are on the brink of separation, so what next?
Deramas has worked with Domingo in several films, according Isah Red but this is the first time he works with Maricel,  who he says is one of her favorites comedians along with Domingo.
“It’s a dream team,” Wenn exclaimed. “Two super-comediennes, na magaling din sa drama, in one movie. What more can I ask for?”
The newest movie offering of Star Cinema on its 20th anniversary will open in cinemas nationwide on Sept. 18.
The movie which is co-produced with Viva Films also stars Cristine Reyes, Paul Jake Castillo and many others.
