Movie Review – Easter Sunday (2022)

Read Time:1 Minute, 46 Second

Easter-Sunday_header

Take stand-up comedy bits and turn it into a movie. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. For a comedy, I wasn’t laughing as much as I would have hoped. The movie did have, every family has its rough points but in the end, let’s come together. You know… Live Laugh Love. Wait, did that seem a little forced? So did some of the comedian cameos or stand-up style bits throughout the movie. Not the individual things weren’t funny, they just seem to kind of break up the flow of the movie a little bit. I’m sure a particular cameo will be something people will talk about. (It put a little smile on my face I admit.) Back to what I was saying. Some scenes seem to be a sort of setup for the stand-up style bits. Some parts were over the top ridiculous. Not all of them hit the mark. Overall the movie was fine, good for a few laughs. Don’t go in expecting too much and you’ll do fine.

I’m sure one other takeaway people will have is of course the Filipino representation. Didn’t sway me one way or the other. Maybe it will for you.

Tell a friend to see it?
Yes. If they like stand-up comedy.

Would I rewatch it?
Sure, at some point.

Would I want to own a copy?
Nope

Must-see in theaters?
To help support, sure. But not a must-see in theaters. Unless of course, you’re interested in the communal viewing experience. I think this movie is fine for a home experience.
