Sadly this movie does not contribute anything new to how Filipinos are perceived but merely reinforces tired stereotypes, Jokoy's brand of toilet humor, and outdated tropes. It can be painful to watch.
If you've been a Filipino for a significant portion of your existence, then there aren't any jokes here that you haven't yet heard. And those that are new, at least to a few, are few and far between.
We have all seen this movie - just not in this precise form. Take a few jokes here, a few lines there, some plot lines from old family comedies, some Thanksgiving dinner family feuds from very old stories, etc. Except this time, all the characters, and the actors playing them are Filipinos. Did we really need this movie?
It's surprising that this movie even got made; when Batwoman was shelved and people WANT to see that movie. And we all know about Morbius. So the ultimate question on every thinking Filipino's mind is, "Why?"

The Orville has outgrown its parodical beginnings and has been addressing currently all-too familiar and relevant issues such as gender-divisiveness and revile for anything different - a mindset made infamous by George Bush the younger: "You're either with us or against us."
This has not gone unnoticed and has managed to attract the attention of big-name stars such as Dolly Parton, in this episode.
