This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is undoubtedly one of the Best Films I have ever watched in my entire life. Most Filipino movies are corny and lack any sense of reality, but this movie defined a generation, and it's one of the most important movies that reflects the Filipino youth of the 2000s, struggling to achieve their dreams and using their street smarts at the same time to overcome diversity, and it's done in an amazing way. And it's so funny too, Assunta de Rossi is an amazing actress, and she stole the show in this movie as the sassy street smart young college student trying to make it in the world, she is so hilarious in this movie and it's no wonder she won the coveted Best Actress award at the Manila Film Festival (the Philippines' version of the Oscars) because she is an amazing actress bringing life to both drama and comedy, and to any role she tackles. An amazing movie.

i was completely surprised about my reaction to this film. i thought it would really be "jologs" but it wasn't at all. it's cool the way it makes you realize that hey, it really IS a small world and in one way or another, there are connections between you and that guy peeing by the wall, you know what i'm saying? plus, the actors here whom i usually don't like (assunta de rossi to name one) were really good here. i also thought it was funny the way there were dozens of cameos in this movie. this is one movie you'd watch over and over and never get bored.

I really liked this film. This is one Filipino film that is truly imaginative, witty and best of all fun. I commend the screenwriter for his wonderful script and the director which remained true to the screenwriters vision. This just shows that even a simple story can be made into an interesting one with the proper treatment, directing style and outstanding script. Jologs is surely at par or even better with other Hollywood films. The acting is controlled, the cinematography is majestic, the story structure is solid, the music is just right and it has one of the most memorable climax ever. Surely, this movie just blows you away!

I don't watch a lot of Filipino comedy. One reason is they're all the same! "Slapstick" actions then the infamous sing-and-dance number in some resort or beach. The typical Filipino movie. Some are even stupid!But Jologs is a surprisingly different one! Backed up with a stellar cast (including a really funny Assunta de Rossi) and a great script/story this is my FAVORITE Filipino movie. It's different, funny and dramatic... all at the right times! The story is all about how small this world is! Several scenes are repeated, and pretty soon you don't have to be a detective to figure out the whole story line and how all characters play an important role in each others life. Similar to Pulp Fiction, but with Filipino edge.This movie could have a lot of imdb goofs with continuity and all, but this is a good movie. And you wouldn't care less. Great soundtrack, great movie.
