KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

giopotes If you're gonna ask me which Pinoy flicks are the most astig, it would be Jologs, Jologs, Jologs and that, um, that film where Vhong Navarro tries to kill himself by BUMPING a bus? Oh yeah... that's Jologs, too!Jologs tells the story of a graduating student (Prats) who steals money and gets karate chops from a babysitting cousin (Clarete) who refused the proposal of her now ex-bf (a stunning and hilarious and brilliant Navarro) who can't celebrate his best friend's (Garcia) birthday whose girl is quiet and won't have sex with him (a terrific turn also from Sta. Maria) because she has great faith in God and she goes to this Bible study with a you-thought-he's-hot guy (Ochoa) who tags along an attracted motor-mouthed street smart classmate (the scene-stealing exciting sexy and never better de Rossi) who likes to order coffee in a café owned by a violent homophobic (Bondoc) who almost killed a drag queen who stole his car (a very gay and very good Geisler) and beats up his soft-hearted security guard (Ochoa) who's emotional because his girlfriend (Bayle) left him for Japan. Then there's Judy Ann and Piolo fighting for a couple of coins, Camille and Heart looking for a jeep, Bentong winning Game ka na ba?, a hot actor (dunno his name) playing conductor, another hottie getting a baby in the airport and another one riding a taxi. Yup, that's the star-studded film called Jologs.Numerous subjects fill this movie. There's the homophobia, the other family of your dad, the religious groups (described here as "Alayb, alayb") who think you can be better by joining them, poverty, talks of sex (counselor versus best friend), broken hearts, broken dreams... but it's really just a flick about life and how small our world really is.Movie buffs compare this film to PTA's Magnolia or Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, but this one is lighter and very Pinoy. Gilbert Perez's direction is very notable and very flawless... as well as the editing and the cinematography. The characters, of course, reflect each Filipino human being. We are all connected... nobody can move without the other, nobody's an island. We learn many things from Trespeces's frank, witty and very very funny script.It's hard to single out the best performance among the very human bunch but I'd say Vhong, Assunta, Sta. Maria and Geisler are the film's best performances.Vhong Navarro gives his greatest performance here as the suicidal, heartbroken and hopeless lover who'd stop at nothing to win a "yes" from his darling's lips. He would have been a box office king in later films... but here, he raised humor, intelligence and wit to the highest point.I'd say I was amazed at Jodi Sta. Maria's portrayal of a young angelic religious college girl who's unsure if she's gonna have sex with her boy friend or just leave him swooning. She plays either rebellious or nice girl teenagers in the past but her college girl here really caught me. It's even funny (that bathroom scene and the one with the counselor).Geisler is a terrific actor... and gay men are his frequent roles (watch Jay last year and the MMK episode where he gets anally-raped). Here, he's a drag queen who gets kidnapped by a sadistic homophobic gang that tried to kill him. Geisler acted it very well that I thought he's really gay.Assunta won critical attention with the sexy drama Hubog (where she starred in with her li'l sis Alessandra) but she won hearts with Jologs. Here. she plays a motor- mouthed street smart who's attracted to a decent young man. She was brought to a worship group so that she, according to him, will be changed for the better. de Rossi tweaked religious groups with her very long and loud speech (she's right, if you hate her, hate her... you can't change her!). Her segment is the funniest. She uses the dorky hairdo of an extra as her ashtray, she drinks coffee with John Prats' spit, she prays Angel of God as a prayer before meals (the funniest!) and, damn, those witty lines! She's really using "pakshet" as her official bad word. Plus that song... the very meaningful Next in Line fits its movie. It became a hit after this. I really wanted it for our graduation song... we ended up singing JourneyYou can hardly tell why the title is Jologs... but maybe it just tells us to look and see it... and then conclude that life really is "jologs". It also shows how God views his colorful creatures. How He created us for each other. I recommend this to everyone. I JUST LOOOOOOVVVVEEEE IT!

cbundoc "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!

eraz0rhead 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.

Angela L 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.
