“This silly, romantic, and gleefully raunchy movie tells a feel-good story and serves as an unabashed celebration of Filipino American culture.” – Victor Stiff, That Shelf

“So much of the vibe, the complicated dynamics of Filipino immigrant families in the United States, the crowded and complex relationships that form between multigenerational families all living under one or two roofs… it radiates through the film.” – Ed Travis, Cinapse

“A film that transcends it failings and becomes not just funny and warm enough to work, but a cultural touchstone” – Roger Moore, Movie Nation

“The Fabulous Filipino Brothers highlights the enormous diversity among Asian Americans.” – Li Lai, Mediaversity Reviews

“Director-star Dante Basco’s family affair is an engagingly freeform portmanteau that runs the gamut from joltingly dark to sweetly romantic.” – Joe Leydon, Variety
