Project Baby: Regal Entertainment's powerful new take on modern kinship
Project Baby, produced by Regal Entertainment, stands out as a refreshing modern take on the classic romantic comedy.
Directed by Eric Quizon and written by Jose Javier Reyes, the film successfully blends a nostalgic "throwback" vibe reminiscent of 90s and early 2000s rom-coms with a contemporary narrative that fiercely challenges societal expectations regarding family and female autonomy.
At its heart is Sandy (Sue Ramirez), a career-driven Type A personality determined to start a family on her own terms, even if they defy traditional norms.
More than just a comedy, the film functions as an empowering anthem for single individuals and young professionals, encouraging viewers to shape their futures based on personal desire rather than social pressure.
This powerful premise leads to the film's provocative central question: when genuine feelings inevitably enter the equation, can a meticulously crafted life plan survive the intrusion of romance?
Sue is pitch-perfect as Sandy, delivering a performance full of confidence and sharp wit that perfectly embodies the Type A personality. She emerges as a formidable and relatable icon for the modern, independent woman.

Meanwhile, Rico Blanco (Migo) delivers a truly revelatory performance in his first leading role. He successfully proves his impressive range, mastering both the quiet, intimate dramatic moments and demonstrating surprising, effective comedic timing.
The compelling friction between Sue's objective nature and Rico's laid-back, emotional portrayal is the dynamic engine that fuels both the film’s sharpest humor and its emotional heart.
