REEL DEAL: Marian and Richard’s “My Lady Boss” opens in cinemas today

Kapuso royalties Marian Rivera and Richard Gutierrez are starring in the romantic-comedy film, “My Lady Boss” which is showing in nationwide theatres beginning today, July 3.

The movie is about Evelyn (Marian Rivera), a tough self-made “lady boss” whose problems in love and at home makes her transform into a much-hated, grumpy monster in the workplace.  This remained so until she meets Zack (Richard Gutierrez), an easy-go-lucky employee who was forced into the workforce after all of his attempts at doing business failed because of his being irresponsible and his lack of experience.

Challenged by Evelyn’s toughness, Zack tries to “soften” her with his playboy tricks.  The lady boss fell victim to his ploy and eventually fell in love with him.  But love has no place in the corporate world and whether they like it or not, they will have to either hide it or risk their careers.  To make things even more complicated, Evelyn does not know that for Zack, their romance is just a casual, no-strings-attached affair.  This breaks Evelyn’s heart and piques Zack’s conscience.  In Zack’s discernment, however, he realizes that he has unwittingly fallen in love with his lady boss. But is it too late?
