The Fabulous Filipino Brothers

Always wanted to get in to filippino movies, but its hard to miss jokes when you don't speak tagalog so good. So this was a very refreshing insight into filippino culture and stereotypes, and very hilarious at times.

Highly recommend it if you are curious about filippino culture.

TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!! I saw this at a packed-house screening in Los Angeles and enjoyed it so much that I bought it here and watched it again with a group of friends. I literally laughed AND cried throughout the movie. This works as a movie to put on at a party as well as a perfect date-night flick.

It's a fantastic film about family-for adults, though teenagers will definitely dig it as well. Amazed that it's the director's first feature (as director). It's a mix of original vibes with some Scorsese, Jarmusch, Guy Ritchie, and even some early Farrelly Brothers flavors thrown in the mix. And while there's a focus on the titular brothers, the film gives the female characters their due-they are well-rounded and ultimately I feel there's a feminist/humanist heart beating right beneath the surface.

A seasoned and charismatic ensemble cast that's able to balance absurdist with grounded humor, along with sincere romance and flawed characters you can't help but love. Also, quotable af.

Cringiest movie I've seen in a long time. And not in a quirky cheesy Filipino movie kinda way. Like so bad I want to throw my tsinelas at the TV bad. Everything try-hard corny from the bad acting (e.g. Dayo constantly OA "over acting"), horrendous soundtrack, sloppy directing (like dispose of the syringe that you didn't actually inject in the rooster, and that you were supposed to keep a secret but instead waived around in front of the nick c.), some scenes didn't even make any sense.

Pretty shots in the Philippines and Solenn are its only saving grace. Even though Solenn's accent clearly gives away the fact she didn't grow up in the States with Duke.

Really embarrassing movie to be honest.

For those who can't relate, but to those who can, especially the Filipinos - or to be exact the Filipino-Americans, this definitely hits home. Although lots of the perpetuated stereotypes might seem obtrusive or offensive but nonetheless offensively humurous and enjoyable. This is pretty much the Filipino take on spaghetti, it tastes funny and strange to the uninitiated. But to the Filipinos, there's nothing like it.

It does portray most Filipinos who were raised in the Americas.

It shows the culture of how we try to stick together and even think of being responsible of everyone in the family. It also shows how it can be toxic but also how being in a close knit family be fun.
