By the beginning of the third act, it's no secret what the story of #Jowable is trying to convey. Some may not gravitate towards its heart-on-its-sleeve approach, but I was personally carried by its sincerity.
The writing is very play-like, with scenes populated by jokey dialogue, and lively interactions. The story itself may lack development and depth for a couple of characters, but as a whole, its very confident in what it wants to say.
I highly recommend this for youth, especially teens. It contains important themes for a culture as love-obsessed as the Philippines'. Apart from references, I'd say even families could watch this and connect on the message afterwards.

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.

Nothing remotely funny. Bad cinematography and poor production. 1st ever movie I ever walked out
Jowable by Darryl Yap aka the director and writer under the infamous Vincentiments: a group of young filmmakers who did tons of jaw breaking short films. They were very known with their wide shot cinematography and also because of some controversy about their insensitivity regarding their contents. To be honest at first I was really entertained by their short films but in the long run as they keep on doing the same formula over and over again, it is not effective for me anymore (in my perspective), so I was expecting that they will redeem themselves with this movie 'Jowable'. It's a catchy movie title, very trendy, trendsetter and I was interested when I've watched the trailer but I saw the movie, itself... I was disappointed, the story is lacking, the ending is too bad, lazy, forced and outdated, it was predictable. I didn't feel the character development of the main character at all, the jokes aren't landing, some of the actors performance were depicted in a bad way but kudos to the efforts, Kim Molina is a great actress and indeed talented but this is her down fall, the role doesn't suit her and really I just don't like the movie as a whole. I felt like I wasted my time watching. Congrats but good luck next time. not bad for a starter. I shouldn't expect that much.
Anyways, it's just my opinion. Take it or leave it, the call is yours.
This movie started funny charming and generally enjoyable but somewhere along the way it lost its footing. It was like a completely different movie give it a go
