The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

"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 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!
