#Jowable

This film clearly had it's potential I must say but it never failed to do 3 annoying flaws throughout the entire run.

• Jokes and lines are genuine and funny but it overstayed it's welcome too much.
• Lazy cutting. There are too many scenes where a audience is staring at this angle and for no good reason, there is a jump cut. Clearly, the cut is there because the actress/actor forgot the line.

-Extras act weirdly as if they are in a stage. This takes away the realism and reminds the audience that what's happening is just fiction.

Apart from the 3 flaws mentioned above, I had an issue with the Acts. Act 1 drags through the entire half of the runtime. It used up the entire half of the film to establish the character through repetitive jokes. There is no interesing incident that happens to the main character to push the plot to the next Act making this film looked like a 2 act story only. What's worse is that when we finally reach that interesting incident for the main character, all of a sudden the events keeps coming in rushed.

I have seen short films from the director and this film doesn't reflect the quality of those shorts.

I probably have not seen any movie that I can relate to at full extent. The movie showcasing the struggles of those who aren't "not-so-jowable", the defense mechanism whenever people start questioning you and the questions you have for yourself were there and I honestly appreciate every seconds of it including the message and the consequence if you are going to push and force your luck that much. However I don't like the movie's humor that much and I don't like Kim Molina's character that much -most of the time it's cringey.

For a Filipino movie this one is not predictable and I would say it's okay-ish. You just gotta have to lower your expectation if you're going to watch it.

The pacing of the movie was terrible. The characters were terribly annoying, unlikeable and unerelatable. The scenes were extremely drawn out, the comedy predictable and unfunny.

The sound editing was grating and badly mixed; The experience of having to listen to the constant bickering between the characters was akin to sitting out a storm under a rusted tin roof while razor blades rained down.

For a romcom movie, the constant and thoughtless use of jump cuts and voice overs make youtube videos look more than professional.

I have never seen a more terrible movie with a simple premise and message told in the worst way possible.

It was a battle not to leave the cinema outright.

Zero laughs from our group of 7.

The movie is all about "the new reality" of a solo parent in the perspective of the child. A coming of age movie that talks about relationship between the mother is keeps her mistake by providing all that she can to her child who is always looking for love. The movie quoted that we will find love in a package that maybe different from what we expected. If we just look closer the things that we always wanted is already in our life. Its just a matter of contentment. Looking for more will always leads in tragedy. The main actress executed her role very well with an amazing cast that provided a well deserved high approval.

Story of a 20 something girl asking God to give her a Jowa (Love Partner) coz she needs it and deserves it so much.

The world doesn't revolve on having a Jowa. The movie's plot is so lame.

Everything else is just full of cheap corny tricks to make you laugh.

Some of the acting is good that's why I gave it 4 stars (mostly).
