#Jowable

Nothing remotely funny. Bad cinematography and poor production. 1st ever movie I ever walked out

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).

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.

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.

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.
