I saw Easter Sunday, starring Jo Koy-Anastasia, Virginia; Lydia Gaston-The Blacklist_tv, The Sopranos_tv; Eugene Cordero-The Good Place_tv, The Mule and Tia Carrere-A J and the Queen_tv, True Lies.
This is a not so funny comedy directed by Jay Chandrasekhar-Beerfest, Club Dread, Super Troopers-who also plays Jo's manager. Jo is a stand up comic that is struggling to get a tv job and moves to Los Angeles. Lydia, his mother, wants him to come home for Easter dinner. The movie is based on Jo's real life-being Filipino-and how there is always lots of drama and fighting going on. Eugene is his cousin and Tia is his aunt. Lou Diamond Phillips and Tiffany Haddish have small cameos. The message at the end is that family is important-they play Karaoke and all of a sudden, all is forgiven. Maybe you have to be Filipino to enjoy the humor but I thought that most of the jokes are just plain juvenile. There are a couple of bloopers shown just as the end credits start.
It's rated PG-13 for language and has a running time of 1 hour & 36 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD or rent. If you want to see it I would wait until it comes to tv.
