Sixteen-year-old Jane (Charlie Dizon, Four Sisters Before the Wedding), a die-hard fan of leading man Paulo Avelino (himself), takes her devotion to a new level by stowing away in the back of his truck. Initially outraged to discover the interloper at his suburban estate, Paulo decides to test Jane’s ardor by exposing her to the less savory elements of his offscreen life, drawing her into a singularly unnerving game of cat and mouse. A bold break with writer/director Antoinette Jadaone’s track record of hit love stories (You’re My Boss, Love You to the Stars and Back, etc.), FAN GIRL demonstrates equal facility with the darker side of romantic fantasies. — Josh Martin, Features Programmer
