Bcuz of U is a 2004 Filipino romantic anthology film, starring Kristine Hermosa, Diether Ocampo, Heart Evangelista, Geoff Eigenmann, Hero Angeles and Sandara Park. [1]
It is loosely based on the 1964 UK drama film The Yellow Rolls-Royce , which also adopted the idea of using a car as a device to tell the story from the 1947 German drama film In Those Days (German: In jenen Tagen).
A runaway bride returns, a woman falls for her worst nightmare and two opposites come together in this trio of romantic tales. In the first story, Ria (Kristine Hermosa) tries to win back the man (Diether Ocampo) she left at the altar. In tale two, solitary Cara (Heart Evangelista) meets Mr. Wrong (Geoff Eigenmann) -- or is he? And in the final yarn, a tour guide (Hero Angeles) meets a girl (Sandara Park) who pretends to be a famous actress.
Ria (Kristine Hermosa) and RJ (Diether Ocampo) share the perfect relationship until she did not show up on their wedding. Years after, she decided to win him back. But the indecisive and the new RJ is now the most sought-after model in town. Will their love prevail over the pain they've caused each other?
Cara (Heart Evangelista) never took a chance on falling in love because she believes that it will only break her heart. That was until she meets Roni (Geoff Eigenmann) but only to find out that he is the kind of man she has been trying to avoid. Will she take the risk this time?
Louie (Hero Angeles), a tourist guide, meets April (Sandara Park), a Korean girl who got lost in the city and is left with no choice but to pretend that she is a famous actress in her hometown only to survive. Will it be possible for two very different individuals find home in one another?
