Jologs (2002)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Sadly Over-hyped

hyped garbage

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

"Jologs" has got to be my favorite Filipino movie ever (next to "Anak") the way the stories come together in the end is perfect, intense and amazing! Most Filipino films out there are extremely cheesy and lack any kind of substance but this movie is not in any of those categories. The different segments are funny, sad and touching. The events that take place in the segments are insane! You never know what's going to happen next! The young cast is brilliant and shows just how much talent they have by bringing this film to life. I love the way it shows that people are connected (and we really are). You actions affect the next person's day, life etc."Jologs" reminded me more of Magnolia than Pulp Fiction but anyways, I own this on VCD and is one of those rare Filipino movies that I would recommend to any Filipino out there.P.S. I want to remake this into a North American film!

I rarely watch Filipino movies nowadays because they're usually predictable and pretty much follow the same formulas for a particular genre. When I do sit down to watch one, it's usually so I can laugh at how bad it is and so I can annoy the other people watching by telling what's going to happen next - like I said, Filipino movies are predictable.Anyway, I was surprised by Jologs. I didn't expect much from it given the title. But as the story (or stories) developed, I was just completely hooked. Although the style was obviously Pulp Fiction-influenced, the actually story itself was different and very good on its own right. Wow, hardly any stupid, corny out-of-place jokes that they milk to death and spend a great deal of time explaining why its funny in case the viewer didn't get it.Acting was great too - I've always felt that there are a lot of good Filipino actors but the movies they make just plain suck. I'm proud to recommend this movie to anyone.

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 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.
