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.
Grade: C
About The Peetimes: This is a short movie, so I only found two Peetimes.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Easter Sunday. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
