Everything in Easter Sunday is played for laughs… crazy family, wacky mob thriller, and lots of cameos. It’s all good, light fun. See it because you’re a fan of Jo Koy or just to get to know a little more about your Filipino brothers and sisters. Read full review

The folks on the screen are the whole show, and this genial showcase for standup comic Jo Koy has the advantage of showing off a wealth of Asian/Pacific American talent, pretty badly undervalued by establishment Hollywood. Read full review

The entire cast is excellent, including a surprise Filipino guest star. It's a pleasure to see their jubilance in bringing their culture to screen, which shines even in the script’s weakest moments. Read full review

The low-hanging-fruit laughs and occasional flashes of charm make Easter Sunday a perfectly watchable if generally underwhelming comedy. But hey, maybe this sitcom pilot will be picked up after all, with or without the funny accent. Read full review

Easter Sunday starts off well enough before getting off track completely, too preoccupied with aspects of the story that aren't good and don’t matter, sacrificing its characters and their relationships with each other as a result. Read full review

It’s disappointing that the film takes that well-worn trope of a big family get-together and just lazily adds a Filipino layer to it. Read full review

Every joke in Easter Sunday lands with a thud, every emotional beat falls flat. It has the sense of humor of a bad TikTok video, and the emotional resonance of that TikTok commercial playing right now where wide-eyed people declare, "I learned it from TikTok!" Visually, it looks like a network TV reject or that one Netflix movie that you put on in the background while doing laundry. Read full review

I thought it was ok. A casual comedy as most of the other ones, watchable and interesting, not the greatest but not bad.

Easily one of the worst films I've ever had to sit through. Awful script, terrible acting, and a pace that is like a jarring action film. Very hard to watch. Also I think it's supposed to be a comedy but it has yet to be seen. The fact that most of the characters are Asian is cool I guess,Easily one of the worst films I've ever had to sit through. Awful script, terrible acting, and a pace that is like a jarring action film. Very hard to watch. Also I think it's supposed to be a comedy but it has yet to be seen. The fact that most of the characters are Asian is cool I guess, something different, but that's literally all the movie has. Throw in bad CGI which is a standard in most modern movies, and you have a forgettable cocktail of movie mess that's just better left unwatched. It's typical for light, upbeat, comedies such as this to lean heavily on music but how heavily this one relies on said music is a telltale sign of the lack of substance that should be here. One point for the actress playing Jo's mom though. She has a point of dialogue toward the end of the film that almost makes this film seem full of living people.… Expand
