pretty sure a lot of the script has been appended by Filipinos themselves as its mostly a Filipino cast and thats what we see on film. in fact the Chinese writers based the script on Joe's life and stand up gigs.

This movie was heavily promoted. They even had a “Family Fued” episode where it was Jo Koy’s family versus his family from the movie. Despite all the marketing, it bombed at the box office. Hollywood won’t give him another chance, but, hey, Jo Koy can always go back to selling out arenas.

To my fellow Filipinos who might get offended or might have something negative to say, please keep it to yourselves. Let Jo Koy have this. He's telling the story as a "half Filipino" because that's what he is. He won't get everything right or perfect but that's not what the movie is all about. Everybody needs to have some light comedy these days. Easter Sunday is exactly that.

It's about time this type of films are shown in theaters. We are at the time of our lives where diversity represent all kinds of ethnicity like Filipinos. There were many movies involving Asian movies that are merely Chinese, Japanese, Hindus, Koreans, and more but never a film about Filipinos. Hopefully it does good reviews, so Filipinos can flourish more in the future.

Everything they shared about them represents "ME" as Filipino with great multi culture. ❤️

The preview shows that the movie is not just entertaining but one that touches the heart, as well. It is a universal movie for all family members of whatever ethnicity or race to watch. Great movie, great feel, great actors. 😍

Thank you Jo Koy for making the Filipino shine in the world. More power.to you! May your star shine brightly forever. ❤

I'm Filipino, and listening to Joe, is like my up bring. A lot of his joke, is so real, that its really not a joke. It's really how my parent raised me. My dad is pure Filipino(ilokano)I think it's how you spell it. My mom is Hawaiian. My dad use to talk to us, and wanted to really teach us the language, but hard headed, no listen. Mom use to do the same with the hawaiian language too, but po' o pakiki, means hard headed too. I know some, but not fluent. But anyway, Bradah Joe is the best! Way to go Joe! I cant wait to watch the movie Easter Sunday. Take care, and stay cool. Aloha! From the Big Island of Hawaii. West side🤙

I can't wait for this movie to hit the UK. But I have get real here. Vicks has became this big because of African families. As a Cameroonian descent, I learned to fear the fiery vapor of vicks before learning to make sensible sentences. True story.

As a Filipina, I am happy this happened in my lifetime. I'm excited for the journey where more Filipino films are made and Filipino actors cast!

We will support this movie when it hits the Philippines. Mabuhay ang mga Pinoy!

It is about time our heritage, Filipino, gets recognition and be valued, as in healthcare, now entertainment. Thank you Jokoy!

It's great to see myself represented on the silver screen in a non-caricature way and be seen as human being with depth and a complexity. A family comedy is a great way to show that to the American public.

I grew up in Daly City (aka little Manila) I loved my Filipino friends and their families very accepting and loving .

Filipinos let's show them how we support! ❤️🇵🇭. Jokoy is amazing. I am so proud of him.

i am a filipino and we have more to offer in the near future since Easter Sunday just opened our door…not only for singing but in acting

Tia will always be the relic hunter in my heart. I practically went through puberty watching that show 🤣

👏👏👏👏👏Jo Koy included his friends in this movie too, that just tells you he’s a caring friend

Jo Koy definitely paved the way and opened up doors for Filipino culture to penetrate Hollywood

In order to open a movie with commercials showing on all the major networks 24/ 7 and local stations, the studio(Universal) spends as much as $100 million. This was a big movie. It was promoted heavily, but the timing was a big mistake. It went up against “Bullet Train.”

Amazing that all his hard work paid off!! Never give up your dreams y’all! Proud of all my Filipinos!!

I’m half white and pinay and my mom was raised only speaking English, it was tough for mix race marriages my Dad was always mistaken as not being part of our family and so many more challenges we went through as half breed children from both races. Proud to be an American 🇺🇸

This movie is so touching because it’s a product of love, generosity and kindness of Jokoy which he shared with his fellow Filipinos.

Half of my filipino family already watched it and they said it was funny...im going to watch it this tues on my day off

Lol we know Japan is late, like late LATE, when it comes to the showings of foreign films. So maybe it will happen how you want it to be. 😅

i LOVE Jokoy's humor and just his whole vibe...im a big fan!

Oh, by the way...That "product" was a fundamental part of every white, black, or "evidently" asian childhood in the USA for decades. My mother even put it into a heated vaporizer every night, all winter, so my poor sister could choke on it. My eyelashes were coated with it every morning. I believe the cough syrup I secretly bought and slipped to my sister in the middle of the night might have helped her congestion a little. Coastal Virginia is hard on a child's lungs in the winter...with poor heating. I used to wash the "product" off her chest every morning before school so the other children wouldn't make fun of her. Go see Wanda Sykes take on this. She is brilliant, too. Thank you, Jo Koy, for reminding us all good mothers are the same: fierce, so that we may learn to flourish in a difficult world, and yet know love.

Somebody have to reach out to Jokoy,and continue the movie,with the "Chirstmas Vacation" theme in the Philippines,with Tia and Lydia in tow.I would like to see him do the modern version of the long harana scene of Dolphy and Panchito,a scene that hasn't been copied but never to the exact funny detail.Imagine a scene of Jokoy in the middle of the street fireworks,New Year's Eve.

My siblings and I also grew up with that product because of my mom, too. And now using it with my grown up children. Aside from the menthol scent, it is the touch therapy that gives some kind of relief or cure, specially from a mother.

I can't wait! This is the kind of movie that literally is on a loop playing in the background at every family get-together. You walk to the buffet, stuff yourself then follow the sound of laughter - there they are; kids, teens (and their friends), parents, grandparents, and neighbor or two yucking it up!

It's also nice to know that the producers and executive producers are mostly Asian(Chinese, Indian, Taiwanese...) who trusted Jo Koy's ideas and visions🙏🙏❤️❤️

Thank you Jo Koy for putting Filipinos [your root] to limelight. We are happy and unique people...

it's great to hear more about Tia's background. I am fascinated by her since my younger years. Great representation of Filipino people through this movie. I can relate to the scenes they showed here.

Food is the center of any family or group or friendships of any culture. So thank you Jo for getting in your face attitude with no apology love you ❤️😇😎🇵🇭🇺🇸

I love Tia, she's so beautiful and talented woman.

Tia: I'm going to spank your LUBOT. Me as a Bisaya:🤣🤣🤣

Its a pride for every Pinoys to have Jokoys working with Spielberg !! Thats amazing ! Am an old lady of 83 , but still find laughing and giggling at every jokes thrown to audience by Jokoy !!

HOORAY FOR REPRESENTATION!!!! 💕💕💕 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Proud to be Filipino.

Just watched the movie yesterday with my Pinoy coworkers.😊

I'm really happy that Jo Koy, Jacob Batalon, and the rest of the Filipinos in Hollywood are getting their much deserved break. :)

Lawrence. What amazing interviews!!! Thanks for representing us. Proud of you!

Hoping JoKoy starts his own production co.

This is gonna be a movie I will want to watch again and again, especially on a bummer day, like a pot of soup I go back for bowl after bowl after bowl.🙏👏✌🌞

I Love Jo Koy proud Filipino here 🤩

I haven't watched a movie in the theatre /Cinema but I am going out to watch this movie!!!. So i went and watched the movie and I loved it! i think the subject is universal because it is about family dynamics so it is very relatable across all nationalities and cultures! We just have different accents and different expressions. But the problems are the same: jealousy, sibling rivalry, generational gaps, etc, etc. The movie was too short , because i was enjoying it too much. . I think they should do a sitcom based on the ending. My favorite scene was the police encounter , but I enjoyed every bit of it. There should be a sequel and Joseph Jr. should be included in the cast. It must be so nice for the other actors to finally shout out to Hollywood that they are Filipino and no longer hide their identity Jo Koy, you deserve your success, you do not need to carry the whole country on your shoulders... that is too much burden to put on yourself. No one is asking you to do it. But I appreciate your love for the Filipino side of your family. Congratulations Jo Koy and family on your first movie.

Watched Easter Sunday on its first day. Expected to laugh a lot but I did not expect I was going to cry.

I like his spontaneous narration of real & common Filipino parental practices & traits … his facial expressions are funny even if he doesn’t speak…🤣🤣😂

Jimmy is right. Success is a combination of luck and hard work but mostly hard work. If only people could see all the blood, sweat, and tears every successful person has shed. We see only the final product of all that.

People might be expecting loads of laugh but hey before we go there we go to the "hugot" part where you get to see what's why behind the lite-hearted even hilarious nature of things Pinoy / Asian i.e.

Me and my family will watch this.. proud of you Jokoy. Mabuhay ka Jokoy!

I'm thankful we have a Filipino movie in Hollywood

This movie is what I need right now. Sounds like a fun weekend coming.

You're an inspiration, Jo Koy! We are very proud of you!
