The Cast of 'Easter Sunday' on Asian Representation | Around the Table | Entertainment Weekly
/ ew
To Filipinos/Asians who are complaining about this movie: not every movie made about Filipinos or Asians in America has to be a masterpiece. I think this is a decent movie, and by supporting it and artists who are doing their best to represent us, we can show Hollywood that there is a viable market for movies about Filipino-Americans and Asian-Americans. Then they will want to make more and even better films than this. If you have to wait for that masterpiece before you decide to support Filipino/Asian artists, you may never get to see one, because your negative attitude will have already defeated their efforts.
I agree about the support. This movie wasn’t decent though. The writing and plot were TERRIBLE. That’s my big beef with that, not even getting into all the aspects of Filipino American experience I felt were missing. If you take it at a purely cinematic experience, it wasn’t good. The relationship between family members would have been more than enough to make a story interesting! Why did they go all over the place? I love the cast, and didn’t have a problem with the acting. They mentioned that it took 6 months from idea to movie and that it usually takes longer. Maybe there is a reason for that. And to do it for the first main stream Filipino American movie? Big disappointment. Hope they make another one with Filipino writers and directors. Seemed like a money grab to capitalize on Filipino Americans and Jo Koy’s popularity. I sincerely wish them luck because a movie that really focuses on a Filipino American family would be a great movie. It’s not the movie we were given.
Very well said!
Very corny and unfortunately worst movie of the year 🤷🏻♂️as a pinoy I came in biased but it was impossible to like it, it was so damn cringy
Whatever🥰😍😘 I still want to see it.This is just an experimental movie. I don't consider it a make or break movie of Jokoy coz he's already made. If it flops then we are going to wait for the right material for Jokoy. Filipinos are known for supporting anything that have Filipino people in it. We are just proud when somebody from the Philippines is making a positive noise in the entertainment industry.
@@ecmirand21 there was a Fil-Am movie released in the year 2000 called The Debut which starred Dante Basco (the lost boy, Rufio from Robin Williams' movie Hook). But it was indie and it was mostly, drama. So only select audiences saw it. But I think that film was more representative of the identity crisis experienced by Filipino Americans born in America and raised by immigrant parents. Only clips are available in TH-cam.
Never thought I'd see the day when we see this representation for us Filipinos! 🇺🇸🇵🇭💪🏽
I hope to see the day when we’re represented in a movie that isn’t dogshit
I hope to see the day when everyone that isn't " white" stops complaining. If
Yeah too bad the movie sucked. The “debut” 30 years ago was better and the real first Filipino American movie

Yeahhhh
Oh My God, I'm having goosebumps just listening to stories from Jokoy, Tia, and Lou, this is a TRUE representation of our Filipino culture...
Salamat from and American married to wonderful Cebuano Woman
I’m not Filipino but I’m Latina and I can do relate, and that’s exactly what they were saying about this movie, it’s not just about a group of people, it’s about all of us as people, the movie transcends cultures, we all share the same stuff, different names or spices but deep down we all are the same. Love it!!!
As an Afro-Filipina, I'm elated that a movie showcasing a Filipino family in American cinema will finally be out there! No matter how we may feel about the movie itself, the bigger picture, and supporting these amazing actors/actresses is what matters most.
So let's support!!
i just watch this a couple of days ago. At first I thought I went to the wrong cinema as everyone in there are white/blacks. We were the only only one who looks Filipinos. I felt really proud watching them enjoying the movie, they're literally laughing out loud. Kudos to the cast. Love Tia Carrere's role, she is funny!
Was it good?
thanks for sharing this!
Our family watched the movie. It definitely good movie for the whole family including with little kids. My kids were loved it and laughing while watching the movie.
I really love this comedian and I am so happy for them. as a black woman I definitely feel the high emotions for this culture and also with all minorities,when they are finally recognized and feel pride like this. Non minories will never understand fully what this is; and its ok👌
Awww! Thanks for the support! As a Filipino, I love how Jo Koy cast Tiffany Haddish in his movie. She's hilarious and I love her!
generally, Black people and Filipinos share the same very close knit family ties... one good example is a man could be 40 yo and still lives with his momma 😁
I am looking forward to seeing this movie!!! Growing up in Midtown LA, I grew up with several Filipino friends. What I enjoyed most about having Filipino friends was getting invited to their family get together. OMG, it was always a feast of Filipino cuisine no matter how broke they were.
Oh man .. you nailed it ..most filipinos loves ti share up to the last centavo just to see their friends smile and happy.. As a kid I remembered my parents will serve the best to the guests and we’ll wait for our turn LOL
That’s why they are broke. Over generosity even when they don’t have money. Fiesta all the time
Very true. Mom was like to invite relatives in our house, even we don’t have enough money.
I am very excited to watch the movie here in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Very proud of you Jokoy and the cast. Godbless all the Filipinos in America and all over the world.
@@doloresegasan2751 relatable...
I’m a 77 baby and these are my idols! Loved seeing you all play roles in our own ethnicity on the big screen. My jaw was dropped in awe the whole time! PLEASE MAKE A PART 2 in Manila and the beach resorts!!! Love you guys thank you for making a dream come true for our people. XO From a first gen Pinay, born and raised in CA.
I’m glad to see a movie that is composed of Filipinos. Filipinos are very resilient, hard working, family oriented people.
Jo is absolutely right, there is no imagination in Hollywood anymore. Remakes, Remakes, Remakes!!!
I remember watching Tia Carrere's tv series "The Relic Hunter". I want to watch it again! Also the movie "True Lies" with Arnold Schwarzenegger where she plays a villain. She slayed that character.
I always remember her from "Wayne's World", she played a Chinese character who spoke Cantonese. I didn't know she's part Filipino until recently.
She will always be the hot and sexy Cassandra from WW and WW2.
I am Filipino and I hope this movie will open up opportunities for other Asians in Hollywood too to be just themselves, to show who they are and their cultures. Asia is so diverse! I hope many of our peoples will be given the chance.
Next time highlights must show the intelligence & wit of Filipinos .. this movie is a slapstick.. 😢
@@francy2127 True. I don't like the movie. I wish they did not make it if this is the outcome. 😖
They are all so great! I love Lydia Gaston… I have seen her on stage many times and finally she is on film. She is such a pro and so real in everything she does.
REPRESENT!!!!! Thank you... All Filipino Star casts!!! Pave the way Jo Koy! It's gratifying to see someone who embraced his ethnicity and wanted to showcase Filipino Pride not just on the Filipino channel but the Big Screen,..all over the world (soon), backed by Steven Spielberg...( if he believed in this story, hopefully everyone supports our story). All love to JK
When I first saw Lou Diamond in La Bamba, I thought to myself, 'he's part-Filipino'. And Jo Koy is right. There was no Google at that time, you had to read magazines to find out about them. But he's always been upfront about his Filipino lineage. And how can I forget Angel in Stand and Deliver. He's such a wonderful actor. And he was funny in The Big Hit.
I saw Tia Carrere in True Lies. Of course, she was cast as the Asian bombshell. But that face and complexion, so Filipina.
I'm definitely going to watch this!
This conversation is all about mutual love, admiration, praises and positivity. No wonder everyone's so generous on giving their talents. Yay! Can't wait for this movie 🎥🍿 to be shown here in the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭! Saludo sa inyong lahat! Pusong Pinoy! Pusong magaling!
i hope Rob Schneider will be on the sequel. he's also a filipino..
There were so many hilarious scenes and poignant family moments. Such a talented cast and authentic, funny script! Hope to see more Easter Dinner movie sequels. 🇵🇭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🏆🍿🎥🎞🎬
I dont know what to complain about.. its a door wide open and they literary hold it open for more filipino/ american; asian/ american artist to have their turns.. thank you for the whole cast and crew! Believe it when i say! More talent is coming!!
This movie has a great cast of Asian Filipinos. We need more Asian representation in Hollywood! Hope this is going to be a long lasting beginning. And Jo Koy is one of the best comedian out there.
I don't think we give much credit to Jimmy here. Shout out to you my man! Such a great Asian creative. Much love from the 🇵🇭
Yazzzz trur that 💛
Jimmy and Silicon Valley….epic!
I love seeing my people on the screen , in my mother’s day she would wait for a pilipino movie or show come out to LA and always went to support . No expectations but pride and love to see the familiar songs, accent and faces she missed from back home . All Pilipino cast I went to all the Pop ins i could for Easter Sunday and even bought tickets to shows i couldn’t make .
I am 60 years old , that’s how long i had to wait for something like this to be created . I want the representation in more projects and if this is how we have to get it then so be it . 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
The Writing, The Directing, the Supporting Cast, & Most Importantly Jo Koy's Performance in this was all incredible. Quality Movie!
23:59 That would be a great idea ...the sequel of this family going vacation in the Philippines, meeting their relatives there and the plots will go around there, colabs with the other Filipino stars in the Philippines that would be cool....Sir Jo Koy check this out...and then maybe apl de ap will be in the movie.....that would be awesome...part 2 in manila.....
Yes apl de ap
imagine all the famous filipino artists doing a cameo like bruno mars, vanessa hudgens, nicole schertzinger, and olivia rodrigo
Watched it with my hubby and it was so good! Going again and this time with my whole fam! Thank you for this awesome movie!
So proud of you all!!! Love Jokoy...big fan here.❤️ With Tia and Lou ...this is truly an epic film. Let's all support this movie!!! Proud to be Pinoy❤️🥰
you can just tell how much love has been put on this movie. it's beautiful.
I love being a Filipino! the kindness, respectful ways, giving, compassionate. Our corny jokes, karaoke, lots of food. Filipinos are just amazing.
You’re literally mad cause your not mixed. Really now!
Just saw the movie and could relate to so much of it. Thanks for the representation and the fun. 🇵🇭
a lot of stereotypes
This is so cool... Just imagine a part 2 with Enrique Iglesias, Batista, Apple de ap..and more
me too! my god that will be epic!
Yes include Charmane Star Pls.
Love your imagination hahaha
yaas please
include the singers like jessica sachez and the likes, that would be filipino hustlers,, drop mic
All the success Joseph & to all the casts & crews of this great one of a kind movie. This movie shows how asians share some cultures to each other like singing along whenever there's a gathering. The struggles they've gone through to survive in a different place. Kindly support this movie. Filipinos got your back Jokoy 🙏
yeah part 2 in PH! go to different locations make it an outdorsey adventure comedy type of film!
ie. a fil-am that was born and raised in US coming back to PH, meeting other relatives, the struggles, the culture shock, learning local ways, eating local delicacies, having a hard time adjusting and then eventually learning to appreciate and love his roots.
maybe something like that or totally different.
Looking forward to see this movie tomorrow! Let’s support Jo koy! Representing Pinoy culture ❤️
I wish they could also use this platform to address the rising cases of racism towards Filipinos in the US.
Someday soon
Ako ang Pinoy. I ain't seen it bro. I been here a long time and what I see is a general racism against Asians where non-Asians, not just whites, mainly Americans, lump Pinoys in as a generalized Asian. I fucking hate that, not just for Pinoys specifically but the fact that because we are all from that part of the world, we're all Asians. Japanese are not Koreans who are not Chinese, who are not mga Pilipinos and not South Asians. Fuck that. You need to alter your view of the racism and don't make a big deal about Filipinos on this, tae.
From whom?? It aint from white people
In true Filipino form, I am coming on to say I am distantly related to Lou. I e never met him and he doesn’t know me, but from what I understand, one of his Lolas is third cousins with my Lolo. Like his mom would call my Lolo as her Lolo. Like jo koy says, it’s so lovely to see actors acting as their own ethnicity for once. Bravo to all!!
A Wonderful film with a family of Filipino-Asian-Americans...!!! Great actors and actresses...!!! Jokoy, Tia Carere, Lou Diamond, Lydia Gaston Jimmy Yang and all cast of the EASTERN SUNDAY!!! director Jay... Love it...!!!
It's really great being represented by you in the international scene. Fils are survivors because they can easily adapt to their environment. There's also Apl d Ap who made it big despite growing up in the Phils...and Arnel Pineda!
Going Sunday night with friends from work! Can't wait! Mahal Kita Josep!! 🎟️📽️🍿😎🇵🇭
This really looks like a reunion movie not only for Finoys but also for other nationals. This will set a framework for those who want a different kind of reunion
Lumpia wins every day.
Jo - you crack us up, we just adore you and this entire cast. We are going to the matinee today.
Jokoy, you’re gonna be up there, in the line of Manny pacquiao as a national hero.. trust me, dude!!!!! Absolutely amazing … but where’s Rob Schneider at? 😂🥰
Congratulations to the cast and all the people behind this great film!!! ❤️
The lumpia is actually called lumpiang shanghai, so practically the same as chinese spring rolls. I do hope they do part 2 in the Philippines, and with a cameo by Manny. 😁
I remember a Walmart Christmas commercial that featured the "balikbayan box" theme years ago. That indicated that already the filipinos are a force in the consumer goods market.
Thank you Jokoy and the rest of the cast for opening the doors for talents to come in to Hollywood. It has a long way to go, but it's a very good start. Love you! And hope to see you soon.
Ooh... Filipino representation coming through.. Finally!
Jo Koy said it's not just a celebration of the Filipinos, but Jo Koy said that this movie is for everyone and that includes other Asians, especially the Whites, Blacks, Latinos and Middle Easterners who are also immigrants and came to America so it's relatable to everyone
Representing our culture our attitude, hospitality, Filipino beliefs etc. is such an honor for us being a Filipino who lives around the world.
Oh my!!!!!! I want to see this film asap 😩😩😩😩😩 I love Jokoy ❤️🥰 and everyone on the cast.
OMG!!! I can’t wait to watch the movie here in The Philippines. A second movie in Manila? It’s giving sending me chills and goosebumps!! Congratulations Jokoy and all the casts and crews of Easter Sunday👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Let us support our fellow Filipino, whether they are half or pure, I, for one am half-Filipino and I know how it feels to have a confusing identity. But stick to them both, after all, you came from both of the best worlds.
So nice to see Lou Diamond Philips and Tia Carrera do tiny tiniklings...
Way to go. JOKOY & Lou Diamond in a movie? That’s a party
Filipinos are one of the largest and fastest growing ethnic minorities in the U.S today. And having a movie about it's culture is a breath of fresh air and is really long overdue. I hope this movie opens more doors and more opportunities to lot more filipinos and Asians in Hollywood.
LOVE ALL OF THIS!!! Can't wait to watch!!! Hoping that this representation continues!!!
I’m excited to watch this movie this coming Sunday with my friends here in Ok. Tia Carrere is my girl since when I was younger-college days I’ve always watch her movies now I am 56. She’s still looking great and very appealing on her age. Thank ya’ll for bringing joy to all of your fans.
Can't forget Dante Basco(Rufio), props to be a trail blazer as well.
I wish they will be showing it here in Melbourne. 🙏
I saw the movie before reading the critics (rotten tomatoes and imdb) . And I must say I was elated to see all FilAms actor in the silver screen. Story was imbued primarily by stereotypical Filipino and FilAms traditions. There are very few scenes that were funny like the church and garage with lou.
😍
Proud Filipino here🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Bring back Lou Diamond Philips in action movies!!!
wow, I would love to see a part 2 in Manila! Can't wait to watch this film :)
Wave the 🇵🇭 flag..Proud to be one!
THIS IS THE MOMENT, OUR MOMENT FILIPINOS!
MABUHAY ANG MGA PILIPINO!
this was better than what I expected, something to be enjoyed
When I watched the movie, I was a bit uncomfortable cause I was not enjoying it then I started to like it when Jo Koy started talking in the church. Then I realized this is a movie and he is not doing a stand up comedy show and he is now an actor in the movie. That means there’s some serious part and funny part. As a Filipino, I can relate to some part. Just making a Filipino inspired movie is already an accomplishment. I’m so happy for Jo Koy to start the legacy. Congratulations to him and all the cast!
AMEN! we have to support the community! Lets keep them coming! Thank you JoKoy for opening the door for us!
Loved this wonderful film!❤❤👋👋
for those who don't know about Eva Noblezada... she was the lead character Kim in the stage play Miss Saigon when it was revived in 2014
Happy for Jo Koy to be heard other Asian decent! Next movie there will be many "tsinelas" outside of your doorstep. Kudos 👏 💐 to all the casts. 🥰
This is Us ... Filipinos known to be funny and loving all over the world and only our friends knew about it .. but this movie will literally proved what they think about us Filipinos... We are simple frienly fun loving duds ✌️❤️🇵🇭😍😭
can't wait to watch it. hope it shows here in manila.. ^_^ I'm the filipino who waits for the balikbayan box to arrive and unbox.. hahahaha!!! you can really feel the love every time you open each box!! sending love to my family abroad!!!
Filipino actors, directed by an Indian, and written by a Chinese. Truly an Asian force
Agree with what Tia said. Filipinos are everywhere in America yet only a small percentage is represented in American tv and movies. When I visited SF, most of the people I saw aside from my relatives were Pinoys. At the airport, in the mall, in the restaurants, at my nephew's school, teachers, students, the principal, all Pinoys. I don't even recall seeing white people. Of course, that's SF and Daly City.
Great table! This is a start to acknowledge that we all humans and we live in the same world with the goal to make it better.
Rob Schneider should have a cameo here that would be nice 😁
Joey Guila is a good stand up comedian
So happy they made
this wonderful movie,
hope they make more,
thanks!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊
OMG-- Lou Diamond Phillips & Tia Carrere and JoKoy & Pinoy Co.-- Salamat Steven Spielberg -- "Proud Filipino"🎈🐧🎈
As Filipino,we are truly grateful that our culture tradition can be seen in movies like this,Jo Koy,we can assimilate quickly with our culture.this will unite us like how Manny Pacquiao does in boxing.We pray to have more movies for Jo Koy to be Pinoy soft power . mabuhay
Thank you for moving on the front to represent the values behind Asians as one ! So did hope that the world will be as one in heart and mind too.God Bless us all! Go go go to watch!!!
Saw the trailer last Saturday before watching KATIPS here in Manila, and my friends and I were guffawing the whole time! Not chuckling, but belly-laughing! Literally LOL! Can't wait!
I went to watch the movie and I really enjoyed it. It is too short though. I like the scenes with Tiffany, and Jimmy Yang, and the good/bad cousin:) Jo Koy did okey in his first time acting job. I was laughing at the theater. There was a scene with Jo Koy and his mom that was really touching, i was starting to tear up, but then it switched to the karaoke. They could have sang and danced more. I was wanting Joseph Jr to be in the scene as the son:) Maybe next movie? or if there is a sitcom that will follow this movie? But next time, I suggest a Filipino script writer and Director if we want to showcase Filipino culture which is really hard because the Philippines has so many facets in our culture depending where people are living.
Thank you Jo Koy, Tia Carrere and Lou Diamond Philips... Proud to be Pinoy...love 💕😘 u all
WoW! Lou Diamond Phillips is in the house!
I grew up watching Tia and Lou and i only found out yesterday that they were Filipinos. Thats crazy. I thought Tia was Malaysian and Lou was native American. Tia was smokin hot back in the day. Also gald to see Jimmy in this
I thought Tia and Lou were Latinos 😂
Love Jokoy period! He’s so funny! Stress reliever.
I’m so excited for this!! 🇵🇭
I live in the 50th state! I work with some amazing Filipinos I teach amazing Filipinos I love the Filipino culture! I can’t wait to see this movie…
Looking forward to this film... Representation matters
This movie is relatable to all family Asian american...Its a cool movie.,family and culture..Hope this opens up to all Asian american actors that are talented..JO Koy...is funny....😃👍
OMG! The clips theselves are already hilarious! Can't wait to see the movie.
Awesome human beings!!! Love you all!!
Filipino Korean Chinese Malaysian Cambodian Thai Laos Japanese And Indians So much love and respect for you all my other half
So so proud of this show and the rest of the cast..As an Asian representation we do have chance now in Hollywood..
I’m excited to act alongside Lydia Gaston on stage in a few weeks
used to live in Daly City where this movie location is based, a lot of my neighbors were almost all Filipinos.
Been around in the country for almost 50yrs.LONG!!! LORD, this is the mirror of our lives in..AMERIKA!!
I’m just glad we have a platform for once. Beggars can’t be choosers, y’all. If we want to break into the mainstream without suffering setbacks (looking at Constance Wu after Crazy Rich Asians), we gotta take what we can get. Blaxploitation persisted for decades before AfAm actors got more nuanced development and mainstream attention. Our battle’s just starting.
I, for one, am going to venture out into indie short films to produce, write and direct on my own - maybe with a single cameraman, but that’ll be a minute before I see that dream realized.
Could not wait to watch this movie. Must be hilarious......
I would love a part 2 filmed in the Philippines. Where jokoy’s family will take a vacation in Manila or any part in the Philippines. As a balikbayan a lot of pasalubong, a lot a lot of extended family comes to see a relative that hasn’t been seen for a long time. The whole family will go anywhere sky is the limit. And those purses and shoes you brought to wear will be left behind. lol looks like fun.
