Critical reception

Jerry Smith from Music Week complimented the song as a “strong, sweeping ballad, where her soaring vocal talents are amply displayed among Michael Masser‘s dramatic and highly polished production.

“Colin Irwin from Number One wrote, “‘Miss You Like Crazy’ is an immaculate pop record — shades of Donna Summer‘s alliance with S/A/W — and fully deserves its success.”

Miss You Like Crazy is a 2010 Filipino romance film starring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. It was Star Cinema‘s post-valentine presentation for 2010.

The film was released in the United States in select theatres in Los Angeles, CA and in Honolulu, HI.

Plot

The story is a flashback of a five-years-love affair (2005 to 2010) involving the characters of Allan Alvarez (John Lloyd Cruz) and Mia Samonte (Bea Alonzo). The opening scene was in a Pasig River ferry boat. One of the passengers, Allan, was sad, and confused if he really loved his then live-in partner, Daphne Recto (Maricar Reyes).

While another passenger, Mia, was downtrodden by family problems. To express her heartaches, Mia would write messages on stones and would leave them anywhere. Allan happened to pick up several of those, prompting for them to get acquainted when one day, he thought she was about to commit suicide due to something she wrote in one of the stones while crying. That’s how their romantic story began.

Later, in one of their trysts, they met an old man (Noel Trinidad) in Paco Park who predicted that they were meant for each other and would end up together, although it would take a difficult five-year ride.

Allan was torn between two loves. Although he knew that he loved Mia more, he procrastinated in his choice.

Mia left for Malaysia. Two years after, when Allan finally broke free from his indecision, he went to Malaysia to look for Mia only to find out that she was already engaged to another guy.

It was now Mia’s turn to make a choice. She chose the new guy who loved her so much and the one she knew could help her support her family, even though she honestly knew in her heart that she still loved Allan.

True enough, the Malaysian guy let Mia go as he was aware of who Mia truly wanted and her intention of choosing him over Allan.
