Bayani further shared that the beauty of 'One More Try' lies on the message it imparts to the moviegoers. "Hindi regalo o gayak ang tunay na diwa ng Pasko, kundi ang pagsasama ng pamilya kahit saan, kahit anuman ang mangyari," he said. "Kaya tamang-tama para sa Pasko ang pelikulang ito dahil makikita dito kung paano magagawa ng isang pamilya ang lahat para sa minamahal nila at kung paano maipararamdam sa mahal mo na hindi mo siya iiwan at lalaban kayong magkasama."

The Full Trailer of 'One More Try!'

Finally, the full trailer of "One More Try," the much-awaited movie of 2012 has been released by Star Cinema in the world-wide web. It was first launched during the premiere night of "24/7 in Love."

Viewers were truly amazed by the superb acting of the four lead stars namely Angel Locsin, Angelica Panganiban, Zanjoe Marudo, and Dingdong Dantes.  

Aside from the award-winning acting stints of the lead characters, killer lines from the four main casts were also seen. Some of these were the following:

"Ang pera natin hindi basta basta mauubos, pero ang pasensya ko konting-konti na lang..!" - Angelica Panganiban  

"Minahal mo ba talaga ako o ginawa mo lang akong panakip butas?!" - Zanjoe Marudo

"Kahit isang gabi lang, ...pahiram ng asawa mo." - Angel Locsin

I know you really can't wait to see the full trailer of this exciting movie. So here it is, let's all watch this:

To give you a glimpse about the plot of the movie, the story revolves around a loving single mother Grace (Angel) who is willing to sacrifice everything to save her ill son.

All seems well in Grace’s life, especially with the comfort of her son Botchok (Miguel Vergara) and boyfriend Tristan (Zanjoe) who is supporting her. But when Botchok’s rare blood condition becomes more severe, Grace is left with no other choice but to reconnect with Edward (Dingdong), Botchok’s biological father, an accomplished man married with a more successful power woman Jacqueline (Angelica).

All Grace asks from Edward is for him to help her save Botchok, their son. Edward is hesitant at first but Jacq gives him permission. However, such tedious process of curing Botchok starts to taint their happy relationships, for unwanted feelings in the past start to creep in. Until eventually all other options fail except only for one—Edward and Grace need to have another child to permanently cure Botchok and they need to do it the natural way.

 

In a situation where a life of an innocent child is at stake, can Grace, Edward, Tristan and Jacqueline sacrifice their personal feelings in order to cure Botchok? In this kind of pursuit, who will eventually win--Jacqueline who will go for a kill to save her faltering marriage with Edward or Grace, the devoted mother who will do anything to save her son even if it means compromising her relationship with the man who truly loves her?

Truly exciting! This is Star Cinema's official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. Under the direction of Ruel S. Bayani, "One More Try" opens on Cinemas this coming December 25, 2012. Two thumbs up to this movie!(www.tvseriescraze.blogspot.com)
