My Only U

The box-office tandem of Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga will grace the silverscreen one more time with "My Only U".

Vhong and Toni's first movie together was the outrageous comedy "D Anothers" in 2005. The Joyce Bernal-helmed movie was a box-office hit.

This time, Star Cinema will bring Toni and Vhong again in the romantic comedy that is part of the film production’s 15th year anniversary offering.

Vhong's previous movies under Star Cinema were “Agent X44″ opposite Mariel Rodriguez and Pokwang; and Supahpapalicious opposite Valerie Concepcion earlier this year.

Toni’s previous movies were “You Are the One”, “You Got Me” and “My Big Love”, with Sam Milby as her leading man.

"My Only U" is helmed by box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina, the one responsible for the monster hits "One More Chance" starring John LLoyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo; and "A Very Special Love" starring John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo.
