Three stars and their ‘gifts’

A promising Filipino movie is set to open on September 3 from Viva Films and MVP Entertainment, which stars top celebrities Anne Curtis, Sam Milby and Cristine Reyes.

From the trailer The Manila Times caught this week, the film, simply titled The Gifted, shows huge potential in delivering something new for moviegoers. Consider the following elements: Screen goddesses Anne and Cristine play childhood best friends who are both geniuses in school. Anne is Zoe Tuazon, a rich, overweight and aggressive mestiza, while Crstine is Aica Tabayoyong, a poor nerdy student with a bad case of teenage acne and nearsightedness.
