    So bad - what even was this???
    Half of this is his standup routine, and the other half is clearly adlib by the actors. But literally none of it is funny somehow. His standup isn't bad - why are the jokes in his movie so awful? The plot is lame and like 2 movies stitched together, and half of the runtime seems devoted to Jo Koy getting his mommy issues out. Seriously so much of this was too personal and like watching someone do a therapy session that doesn't end with any closure.

    Then there's some weird subplot about owing a dangerous dude money or he will kill them, and also some baby Jesus statue recurring joke that never lands and doesn't go anywhere.

    Acting was fine actually, and the directing was competent for the job. The writing and jokes just weren't there for the cast to do anything with. Not even a fun thing to leave on in the background while you do other stuff - pass on this one yall.

    Likable But Not As Funny As JoKoy Could be
    I love Jo Koy. His stand up is very funny. His storytelling is great. His tales of family and growing up and achieving success as a Filipino-American are very endearing. This movie contains many of the best elements of his storytelling and it is fun to see him playing a version of himself. His family is very memorable if you have seen his stand up. This film's stand up moments are the best. The Church scene is best part of the movie. The weakness is that the movie has been sanitized for family viewing. It is the Filipino version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Heartfelt. Warm and funny. Not the best but good.
