The Fabulous Filipino Brothers

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.

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.

I am a Filipino and I think this movie is worse than the other worst Filipino movies. It is not funny at all, the script is ghetto wanna be's and the actors are terrible. The story is okay that is why it could be better.

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.

This is a very well done and funny movie, well-written and directed. The opening scene is reminiscent of the nightclub scene in Goodfellas with a great tracking shot. Maybe not the definitive movie about Filipino American experience but very enjoyable and not on the least predictable story.
