To the outer world CHRIS KARAS is a shy, handsome, "A" student, the son of a hard-working Greek contractor. But to his closest confidants he is none other than the celebrated Prince of Pranksters, a secret society dedicated to combating the inequities of high school through masterful acts of subterfuge. With graduation looming ahead, Chris longs for more from life. He dreams of getting into a top college and wooing MARIAH RIVERA, the radiantly beautiful editor of the school paper. Standing squarely in Chris's way are the expectations of his fellow Pranksters, Mariah's all-world boyfriend, and Chris's old-world father, who can't understand his son's collegiate ambitions. How Chris navigates the treacherous waters of adolescence is the story of The Prankster. Guided by the homespun wisdom of his delightfully eccentric UNCLE NICK, Chris embarks on a challenging path of self-discovery, a path fraught with peril as well as laughter. Chris's first step is his clandestine application for the Outstanding Teenagers of America Scholarship, an award that his Prankster peers openly deride. To have any chance of winning Chris must try out for graduation speaker, vying with an insidious class suck-up, preppie student body president BRAD BURRIS. Meanwhile, fate presents Chris with an opportunity to get to know Mariah. She catches him planting an article in the school paper but doesn't turn him in. Rather, she is surprised and intrigued by this young man, whom she had once pigeonholed as a non-entity. When catty blonde cheerleader TIFFANY FOWLER discovers Chris and Mariah's budding friendship, she makes sure both of them become social outcasts. To make matters worse, Chris's prankster cohort, LARRY, is given a brutal "swirlie" by a humongous jock, BLOTTO, while the boorish school DEAN looks the other way. Such abuse keeps Chris committed to the Pranksters' mission. They gain revenge by sabotaging the Senior Follies, humiliating the Dean in the process. The pressure mounts as the Dean vows to discover and punish the Pranksters. After Chris beats out Brad Burris for graduation speaker in a nerve-wracking competition, the Dean finally catches one of the Pranksters. In support of their fallen comrade, Chris and his fellow Pranksters turn themselves in. The shocked Dean has no choice but to allow Chris to make his graduation speech, but warns him he won't graduate if he tries any funny stuff. Chris must now make the most difficult choice of his young life - to continue being a Prankster, to become a suck-up, or something far more difficult - to "step up" and be himself. It's a dilemma faced by other characters too, one that is resolved in a climax that is as moving as it is hilarious.

I watched this with my dad. Luckily, he joined me. Haha! So No Other Woman is definitely a must watch movie. Anne-Derek-Cristine in one movie, what more would you ask for?
The story was set up very nicely. Perfect plot, I guess. It did not try to add some twist with regards to the storytelling and just presented the story directly. We know for a fact that in any other Star Cinema film, the lead characters always have a problem with any of the member of the family, for this movie, it was Ram’s father and even a bit with Kara’s, which served as the B plot back story on why the characters act in such manner. Fortunately, it worked here since the small plots served as real back stories that did not sound forced nor unnatural. What I like about the film is that no one claims to be a saint. Everyone knows what they’re doing and that they’re just taking advantage of the situation given to them. They admit their faults, but what I don’t get is how they all become in good terms in the end? That’s not realistic as it is right? Anyway, so back to this the location of the film does look too posh and costly, and it gave the director and the cinematographer some opportunities for very nice shots, which they took advantage.
Of course, people are gonna be raving about the lines. The audience is really receptive every time Ms. Carmi Martin throws her lines. The whole crowd is going crazy. Additionally, it’s the understated hints that both Anne and Cristine give to each other that will end up in all local movie confrontation lists. That catfight would be the highlight of the movie. Haha, I’m kidding! In relation to that, the real star of the show is the cast. Derek Ramsey was physically and emotionally fit to play the role of Ram. Cristine Reyes was a bit hammy in her supposedly “shining moments” and the audience isn’t sympathizing with her instead laugh at her. But she played the role good enough that it didn’t ruin the movie experience. Ultimately, it was the Anne Curtis movie. Everything about her screams the role she’s playing. This is an all time best performance from her, and I doubt she’ll be able to top this. I know she will and always will in the future. That’s who she is, that’s how she is.
Love,
