Smart and funny

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.

Fabulous Frickin' Film!!

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.

A rather wholesome movie...

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.
