The Fabulous Filipino Brothers

First of all, I must say that the movie's cover/poster wasn't particularly inspiring or interesting to look at, so I almost skipped out on watching "The Fabulous Filipino Brothers". But I figured that I would sit down to watch this 2021 romantic comedy, as I hadn't already seen it before.

And luckily I did, because "The Fabulous Filipino Brothers" turned out to be a rather enjoyable movie from writers Arianna Basco, Dante Basco, Darion Basco and Dionysio Basco. Talk about keeping it in the family, huh?

The storyline in "The Fabulous Filipino Brothers" follows the lives of four brothers, as played by the four Basco brothers, and it was actually a rather interesting storyline. The writers managed to give each of the characters their own unique storylines and tying everything together in a good way, so the narrative that drove the movie had a natural feel to it.

"The Fabulous Filipino Brothers" has a good cast ensemble, and I will say that the Basco brothers definitely carried the movie quite well. I was a shame, though, that Arianna Basco didn't have a larger role to play in the movie, because she could definitely have spruced things up. And Liza Lapira simply stole the screen with her performance, as she was so well-cast for her role and delivered a spot on performance.

This movie brings a nice insight into Filipino-American culture and what it means to have an Asian heritage.

My rating of director Dante Basco's 2021 movie lands on a seven out of ten stars. I was definitely enjoying this movie and I was entertained from beginning to end.

It does portray most Filipinos who were raised in the Americas.

It shows the culture of how we try to stick together and even think of being responsible of everyone in the family. It also shows how it can be toxic but also how being in a close knit family be fun.

This is classic bay area filipino culture you either get it or you don't I liked it. It's far fetched and not for kids but it's hilarious. The movie had all the classic Filipino romance and humor .the food is awesome the one scene did molest some of the greats but was funny .

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.

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.
