Review of #Jowable

#Jowable (2019)
9/10
Good Sincere Message, in Wacky Silly Package
2 October 2019
By the beginning of the third act, it's no secret what the story of #Jowable is trying to convey. Some may not gravitate towards its heart-on-its-sleeve approach, but I was personally carried by its sincerity.

The writing is very play-like, with scenes populated by jokey dialogue, and lively interactions. The story itself may lack development and depth for a couple of characters, but as a whole, its very confident in what it wants to say.

I highly recommend this for youth, especially teens. It contains important themes for a culture as love-obsessed as the Philippines'. Apart from references, I'd say even families could watch this and connect on the message afterwards.
