The Fabulous Filipino Brothers

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.

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.

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.

Always wanted to get in to filippino movies, but its hard to miss jokes when you don't speak tagalog so good. So this was a very refreshing insight into filippino culture and stereotypes, and very hilarious at times.

Highly recommend it if you are curious about filippino culture.

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 .
