You’re My Boss, despite the corny title (seriously, they should have thought about something else) delivered on its every promise.

a) It had two talented actors in the lead roles, b) It had Antoinette Jadaone directing and I was curious to see how she would fare post Tadhana and c) It seemed like a legitimate feel good romcom and I am not one to shy away from such a movie. It’s story was not original and reeked of a Hollywood ripoff, but then again, I decided to see it for three reasons. When the trailer for this movie was released, I knew I was definitely going to watch it. When the partnership is threatened by an unforseen circumstance, Georgina initiates a ruse to save the deal wherein Pong has to play the role of boss, and she assumes the role of assistant. Along with the responsibilities, her boss leaves her in charge of Pong (Coco Martin), his good natured assistant of many years. Reeling from a scandal borne from a broken heart, she is given the opportunity to rebuild her reputation when she is tasked by her boss (Freddie Webb) to take charge of a major partnership with a Japanese firm while he is on a two-month leave. She is driven, ambitious and is known for her bitchiness by her friends and co-workers. Georgina (Toni Gonzaga) is the assistant vice president for Marketing of an airline company. Fresh from the success of her sleeper hit indie flick, That Thing called Tadhana, screenwriter/director Antoinette Jadaone returns to the big screen, this time to helm a romantic comedy for mainstream studio Star Cinema, starring two of the most bankable stars on both television and cinema - Coco Martin and Toni Gonzaga.
