Oh dear, this was a huge disappointment. Let me make it clear this is in no way a funny movie. Cheesy yes, but funny? Well there were a couple of funny moments but they were fleeting.
The 2 scenes that had Tiffany Haddish playing the cop and bouncing off Jo Koy, those were the fun bits. This movie did not make me LOL like what Jo Koy does when I watch his stand up either on his Netflix specials or the most special to me when I saw him life when he came to Australia that performance was really funny. It's probably a difficult thing to move over to comedy acting rather than stand up, even when your playing yourself. Maybe the script was too stifling for his natural comedic abilities. The movie had too much going on and tried too hard, some of the comedic acting was lame. I like the Filipino humour as I can related being the husband of a Filipina,. I hope his next attempt at a movie does a lot better and I hope he does make another movie. His first will be mostly forgotten and he could have dome so much better. Maybe he should have used his actual real mother and other family members in the movie rather than the actors.
