Jo and Jo

Honestly I am absolutely about nitpicking when it comes to Malayalam movies. Recommended by my colleague I thought I'll give this one a try and I should say this one hit the home run for me. An excellent entertainer with many a laught out loud moments. I don't understand people complaining about this movie. Then again they are the ones who think movies are all about big budget and hitting the big billions.

I'm in love with movies like this which try to immerse you in that atmosphere it so beautifully creates. Not even a single person performed bad here. Story maybe a bit weak but it's forgivable.

I'd recommend to anyone to watch this one rather than re watching those flying, kicking and inexplicably never dying hero movies film producers spit out recently ( I'm looking at you KGF and RRR). People please, you are losing that sense of what a real movie tastes like...

This was definitely an indispensable plot that surpassed the common brother-sister movies we've seen in the past; it hit hard-core messages. We were blown away!

Nevertheless, the screenplay took a lonnng time to take off to the point we were ready to give up on it, if not for Mathew Thomas's charm 😍

DELICIOUS

-A round of applause to all the actors who gave 300% to make Jo & Jo a grandiose performance.

It was so exciting to see our favorites: Mathew Thomas and Naslen K Gafoor

-You can tell the editor and cinematographer love their jobs because they produced gripping footage; the match-cut transitions and camera movements intensified the comic vibe

-Sooo many lessons to take from Jo & Jo, e.g how to have healthy sibling relationships, how to parent unruly kids, etc. It was superb!

There was a striking contrast between male and female children.

BLAND

-The movie dragged a lot before getting to the climax.

There were several redundant scenes that could have been cut to aim straight to the point. It was easy to stop watching as it seemed like the plot wasn't evolving.

A well crafted and well executed comedy movie.

Great acting skills that keeps the story well told.

Novelty in comedy.

Good editing that kept up the fun in the movie.

Altogether, a great watch to sit and relax, feel good.

Jo and jo is a fresh take based on Covid era that succeds with its relatable factor to real life and characters. The Lighted hearted screenplay, good casting choices and its fun performances are the biggest pros of the flick. Main actors Nikhila Vimal and Mathews does their part perfectly which is like a tom and jerry show. Ensemble supporting cast including Naslen Gafoor,Sminu Jojo,Johnny Anthony and Melvin provide the fuel that the film deserves to move forward. Although it has a simple plot, the screenplay is really wholesome and progresses without any lag. The surpise climax and its wow factors add to the delight of the film.

Rating:70/100.

I thinking a average Malayalam family drama while going into the movie,I am very satisfied with the movie I got.

Gives the right message without being a "politically correct movie".

All actors worked well with each other, story is simple with adequate amount of suspense ( this is not a thriller)for a family movie.
