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.

Sue is pitch-perfect as S...
