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 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!
