a movie about Filipinos, directed by an Indian, written by Chinese, that truly is cultures coming together. What a great film project!
How ironic hahahahah but I loved it
It represent Asians
Asian represent!
pretty sure a lot of the script has been appended by Filipinos themselves as its mostly a Filipino cast and thats what we see on film. in fact the Chinese writers based the script on Joe's life and stand up gigs.
Kaya pala parang May kulang… Kc Chinese writers
Let's make this movie a hit! Supporting my Filipino peeps! I'll be watching!❤
I’m watching tonight!!
Same watching with the entire clan 👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Suportahan kita
This movie was heavily promoted. They even had a “Family Fued” episode where it was Jo Koy’s family versus his family from the movie. Despite all the marketing, it bombed at the box office. Hollywood won’t give him another chance, but, hey, Jo Koy can always go back to selling out arenas.
Naahhh
To my fellow Filipinos who might get offended or might have something negative to say, please keep it to yourselves. Let Jo Koy have this. He's telling the story as a "half Filipino" because that's what he is. He won't get everything right or perfect but that's not what the movie is all about. Everybody needs to have some light comedy these days. Easter Sunday is exactly that.
I'm literally the opposite of offended lol
Let us support him because he is so proud he is a Filipino....
Tama!😊
Filipinos all over the world have their own stories to tell but the lineage will always be the same. We are Filipino! And im proud to be one!
Those that get offended don’t get it!! This movie is for pinoys growing up in the states since they were babies and those that are born here, who was raised by old fashioned Filipino moms and dads/ families..
YES UPP!!!
Everyone needs representation. Everyone needs to relate to something, smile and have fun. Thank you to everyone who was part of this movie and to people and companies that are giving exposure to these type of movies.
As a Norwegian with a Filipino brother (the best brother one could have), I am looking so much forward to this movie! ♥
That is so poignant when Jo Koy said " It took me 33 years to see a movie like this and my Mom 51 years." That is perseverance and hard work speaking. Salamat and congratulations Jo koy!
I salute JO KOY'S hardwork and perseverance to achieve his Dream. Congratulations my Dear Kababayan! I will watch your movie when i get back to California. I am here in Manila on vacation. I can't wait to be back to watch EASTER SUNDAY! I LOVE YOU JO KOY. YOU ARE THE BEST!! I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!👏👍👏👍❤💕❤💕🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I’m a Black woman and I’m supporting Joe. Let’s lift him up, the guy is really funny 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you💞💞💞
Thank you 🥰
Thank you 🌷
Nobody cares about what race you are my goodness race race race race! 😂
Guys si Jo ang sinusuportahan niya
As a black woman, I want to support this film!
Thank you Jokoy for putting us "Filipinos" in the map..We are so proud of you and kudos to your mom she is one tough cookie!!!❤️💚❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

So wonderful to see TIA CARRERA again. ❤️💖💖💖
I hope they market Joe’s movie. I randomly found this UA-cam video by accident. As a Chinese American woman, I can’t wait to watch this movie! Looks great! #RepresentAsian
Thanks tina😉
Everbody watch youtube!
Nahh
Thank you💞💞💞
It's about time this type of films are shown in theaters. We are at the time of our lives where diversity represent all kinds of ethnicity like Filipinos. There were many movies involving Asian movies that are merely Chinese, Japanese, Hindus, Koreans, and more but never a film about Filipinos. Hopefully it does good reviews, so Filipinos can flourish more in the future.
I can't wait for this movie to hit the UK. But I have get real here. Vicks has became this big because of African families. As a Cameroonian descent, I learned to fear the fiery vapor of vicks before learning to make sensible sentences. True story.
Thank you Jo Koy for making the Filipino shine in the world. More power.to you! May your star shine brightly forever. ❤
Tia: I'm going to spank your LUBOT.
Me as a Bisaya:🤣🤣🤣
We will support this movie when it hits the Philippines. Mabuhay ang mga Pinoy!
Everything they shared about them represents "ME" as Filipino with great multi culture. ❤️
@TORN so you're admitting that your family is dysfunctional. This is what this movie represents. I know a lot of filipinos and they DON'T ACT LIKE THAT.
The preview shows that the movie is not just entertaining but one that touches the heart, as well. It is a universal movie for all family members of whatever ethnicity or race to watch. Great movie, great feel, great actors. 😍
As a Filipina, I am happy this happened in my lifetime. I'm excited for the journey where more Filipino films are made and Filipino actors cast!
I grew up in Daly City (aka little Manila) I loved my Filipino friends and their families very accepting and loving .
Filipinos let's show them how we support! ❤️🇵🇭. Jokoy is amazing. I am so proud of him.
I'm Filipino, and listening to Joe, is like my up bring. A lot of his joke, is so real, that its really not a joke. It's really how my parent raised me. My dad is pure Filipino(ilokano)I think it's how you spell it. My mom is Hawaiian. My dad use to talk to us, and wanted to really teach us the language, but hard headed, no listen. Mom use to do the same with the hawaiian language too, but po' o pakiki, means hard headed too. I know some, but not fluent. But anyway, Bradah Joe is the best! Way to go Joe! I cant wait to watch the movie Easter Sunday. Take care, and stay cool. Aloha! From the Big Island of Hawaii. West side🤙
It's great to see myself represented on the silver screen in a non-caricature way and be seen as human being with depth and a complexity. A family comedy is a great way to show that to the American public.
i am a filipino and we have more to offer in the near future since Easter Sunday just opened our door…not only for singing but in acting
👏👏👏👏👏Jo Koy included his friends in this movie too, that just tells you he’s a caring friend
Jo Koy definitely paved the way and opened up doors for Filipino culture to penetrate Hollywood
The movie bombed.
@@nicklubrino2606 Well it only has $17M budget so not really a loss
In order to open a movie with commercials showing on all the major networks 24/ 7 and local stations, the studio(Universal) spends as much as $100 million. This was a big movie. It was promoted heavily, but the timing was a big mistake. It went up against “Bullet Train.”
Bollywood, Korean, Japanese and Chinese movies already done in Hollywood. I love Memoirs Of A Geisha, The Crouching Tiger, Slumdog Millionaire, The Joyluck Club, Parasite, Crazy Rich Asians.
It is about time our heritage, Filipino, gets recognition and be valued, as in healthcare, now entertainment. Thank you Jokoy!
Somebody have to reach out to Jokoy,and continue the movie,with the "Chirstmas Vacation" theme in the Philippines,with Tia and Lydia in tow.I would like to see him do the modern version of the long harana scene of Dolphy and Panchito,a scene that hasn't been copied but never to the exact funny detail.Imagine a scene of Jokoy in the middle of the street fireworks,New Year's Eve.
Yep set in the philippines
The movie bomb!!!
I love Tia. I've loved her since RELIC HUNTER. Beautiful and amazing.
Despite the heavy promotion, the movie bomb!! There won’t be another Hollywood movie about Filipinos. It went up against “Bullet Train.”
that will be a flop. don't give THEM ideas tangina naman
I just saw the movie Easter Sunday and boy I tell you...I have just become a huge fan of Jo Koy. I support him all the way. He just opened the door to Filipinos in the most positive way. God bless and more power to you Jo Koy!!
I wanna see this movie but sad thing I live in Tokyo😩 hope it’ll show here too not now but after few wks,months? Hopefully🥰love this guy his so funny😊😂
Lol we know Japan is late, like late LATE, when it comes to the showings of foreign films. So maybe it will happen how you want it to be. 😅
This movie is so touching because it’s a product of love, generosity and kindness of Jokoy which he shared with his fellow Filipinos.
Tia will always be the relic hunter in my heart. I practically went through puberty watching that show 🤣
Oh, by the way...That "product" was a fundamental part of every white, black, or "evidently" asian childhood in the USA for decades. My mother even put it into a heated vaporizer every night, all winter, so my poor sister could choke on it. My eyelashes were coated with it every morning. I believe the cough syrup I secretly bought and slipped to my sister in the middle of the night might have helped her congestion a little. Coastal Virginia is hard on a child's lungs in the winter...with poor heating. I used to wash the "product" off her chest every morning before school so the other children wouldn't make fun of her. Go see Wanda Sykes take on this. She is brilliant, too. Thank you, Jo Koy, for reminding us all good mothers are the same: fierce, so that we may learn to flourish in a difficult world, and yet know love.
Half of my filipino family already watched it and they said it was funny...im going to watch it this tues on my day off
Amazing that all his hard work paid off!! Never give up your dreams y’all! Proud of all my Filipinos!!
I am a Filipina and I got goose bum watching this so proud of them good luck and God bless to all of you love you guys💕💕💕💕
I'm sorry but "goose bum" sounds funny to me 🤣
I imagined the badonkadonk of a goose swaying as it's strutting towards a lake to have a dip 😂
Food is the center of any family or group or friendships of any culture. So thank you Jo for getting in your face attitude with no apology love you ❤️😇😎🇵🇭🇺🇸
i LOVE Jokoy's humor and just his whole vibe...im a big fan!
I’m half white and pinay and my mom was raised only speaking English, it was tough for mix race marriages my Dad was always mistaken as not being part of our family and so many more challenges we went through as half breed children from both races. Proud to be an American 🇺🇸
My siblings and I also grew up with that product because of my mom, too. And now using it with my grown up children. Aside from the menthol scent, it is the touch therapy that gives some kind of relief or cure, specially from a mother.
it's great to hear more about Tia's background. I am fascinated by her since my younger years. Great representation of Filipino people through this movie. I can relate to the scenes they showed here.
I’ve been a Jo fan for years. I was introduced to him by the Chelsea Handler show and always thought he was hilarious. I can’t wait to see this movie and hell yes representation is super important!
Chelsea Handler. Thank God she wasn't in the movie.
Jokoy and Chelsea broke off according to some interviews ‼️Too bad, wrong timing while his movie Easter Sunday is on in Theaters all over, August 31, 2022 sked in the Philippines 🇵🇭 at Mall of Asia‼️A balikbayan journey for Jokoy‼️
I haven't watched a movie in the theatre /Cinema but I am going out to watch this movie!!!. So i went and watched the movie and I loved it! i think the subject is universal because it is about family dynamics so it is very relatable across all nationalities and cultures! We just have different accents and different expressions. But the problems are the same: jealousy, sibling rivalry, generational gaps, etc, etc. The movie was too short , because i was enjoying it too much. . I think they should do a sitcom based on the ending. My favorite scene was the police encounter , but I enjoyed every bit of it. There should be a sequel and Joseph Jr. should be included in the cast. It must be so nice for the other actors to finally shout out to Hollywood that they are Filipino and no longer hide their identity Jo Koy, you deserve your success, you do not need to carry the whole country on your shoulders... that is too much burden to put on yourself. No one is asking you to do it. But I appreciate your love for the Filipino side of your family. Congratulations Jo Koy and family on your first movie.
Filipinos are family oriented people...
I will definitely watch this movie .
I'm a fan of Jo Koy...❤️🇵🇭
Laughter😂😆 is a good medicine .😉✌️.
It's also nice to know that the producers and executive producers are mostly Asian(Chinese, Indian, Taiwanese...) who trusted Jo Koy's ideas and visions🙏🙏❤️❤️
i didnt realize Tia can speak cebuano! way to go!
Thank you Jo Koy for putting Filipinos [your root] to limelight. We are happy and unique people...
Hello Tia! We missed you. Why you haven’t had any movies. I still remember watching you first time in True Lies and you were fierce!
I can't wait!
This is the kind of movie that literally is on a loop playing in the background at every family get-together. You walk to the buffet, stuff yourself then follow the sound of laughter - there they are; kids, teens (and their friends), parents, grandparents, and neighbor or two yucking it up!
This is gonna be a movie I will want to watch again and again, especially on a bummer day, like a pot of soup I go back for bowl after bowl after bowl.🙏👏✌🌞
You’re such an inspiration Jo Koy spcly as Asians..I faced racism also here in Australia and my kids actually seeing me crying in front of them because of what I’ve exprerienced and I felt so sorry about it..
Australians are hardcore racist I experienced that at work on a daily basis uuugh
I love Tia, she's so beautiful and talented woman.
I am happy Jokoy made it happen for Filipinos to be recognized. Mabuhay ang Filipino
Just watched the movie yesterday with my Pinoy coworkers.😊
At first i would only watch Jokoy on You Tube , it makes me laugh and grin in all his jokes that every Pilipino especially like me as a mother can relate to. Its a pride for every Pinoys to have Jokoys working with Spielberg !! Thats amazing ! Am an old lady of 83 , but still find laughing and giggling at every jokes thrown to audience by Jokoy !!
5:23 "Spank your lubot" spoken like a true Ilongga warrior 😂😂😂
That's right Jimmy O!! You do work hard! And I want to see the Cambodian, Thai, stories, you're right!
I can see a sequel in the future if this movie is successful. A Christmas family reunion movie called "A "Jo(y)"ful Christmas or a"A Jo Koy Christmas ".
Congratulations Lyd-Lyd!!!! She’s the daughter of the premier Ballet Teacher here in Bacolod who is also named Lydia Gaston.
I am so happy that his mom's side was a great influence on his upbringing!
Definitely watching this film! And the next...and the next..and so on...movie of Jokoy🥰
Yes! Support your kababayans…My Pinoy church friends and I went to see Easter Sunday. Hilarious! I saw JoKoy here in Denver in 2018…had an awesome time with my Pinay Nurse colleague and BFF! Yup! 🤙🏼👊🏼♥️💞🙏🇺🇸🇵🇭
Watched Easter Sunday on its first day. Expected to laugh a lot but I did not expect I was going to cry.
HOORAY FOR REPRESENTATION!!!! 💕💕💕 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I Love Jo Koy proud Filipino here 🤩
Me and my family will watch this.. proud of you Jokoy. Mabuhay ka Jokoy!
I'm really happy that Jo Koy, Jacob Batalon, and the rest of the Filipinos in Hollywood are getting their much deserved break. :)
Definitely watching this in the theatre... !!! Support filipino holywood movie
I can't wait to see your movie in the Philippines, Jo!
I like his spontaneous narration of real & common Filipino parental practices & traits … his facial expressions are funny even if he doesn’t speak…🤣🤣😂
Proud ako sa success ni Jokoy at para sa ating mga Pilpino. Keep it up at Mabuhay.
Jimmy is right. Success is a combination of luck and hard work but mostly hard work. If only people could see all the blood, sweat, and tears every successful person has shed. We see only the final product of all that.
Is this a movie or a self help mlm guru video? Elon, gates, Walmart etc. Are came from nepotism and exploited others.
Agree!
Hoping JoKoy starts his own production co.
We saw Easter Sunday movie yesterday night! Jo is funny and cast was funny! I was surprised to see Lou diamond Philips. Lol! Great job Jo and cast! Jo you bring great Joy to the world!
I miss seeing Jo at the Brea Improv. I guess I should be glad that I had a chance to see him before he blew up.
You're an inspiration, Jo Koy! We are very proud of you!
People might be expecting loads of laugh but hey before we go there we go to the "hugot" part where you get to see what's why behind the lite-hearted even hilarious nature of things Pinoy / Asian i.e.
Proud to be Filipino.
Lawrence. What amazing interviews!!! Thanks for representing us. Proud of you!
This movie is what I need right now. Sounds like a fun weekend coming.
Bravo Job Koy. Bravo to all who were involved with the film. Maraming salamat po.
Bravo! Can't wait to see this movie
Thanks for this interview of a great catalyst in American culture. The Philippines 🇵🇭 has a wide variety of talent, e.g. singing, etc.. But stand-up comedy? Wow! Thank you, Jo Koy! Mabuhay!
Can't wait to watch this movie!!!! JOKOY is such a great comedian and after watching all of his shows on all platforms on repeat, this movie is going to be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!
I saw the movie today. It was a lot of fun.
I wanna see Jo Koy in an Asian Marvel Movie!
Definitely want to watch him more more more!!!
Let's support this movie because it's about us. Not a faraway world in a fantasy-laden alien reality, atin ito !
So happy for Jo Koy! I love him!
