Leave your thoughts about Easter Sunday.
| Film ThreatAlan NgEverything in Easter Sunday is played for laughs… crazy family, wacky mob thriller, and lots of cameos. It’s all good, light fun. See it because you’re a fan of Jo Koy or just to get to know a little more about your Filipino brothers and sisters. |
| The New York TimesConcepción de LeónEaster Sunday is at its strongest when it stays close to the Valencia family, which is made for TV. |
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowThe entire cast is excellent, including a surprise Filipino guest star. It's a pleasure to see their jubilance in bringing their culture to screen, which shines even in the script’s weakest moments. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe folks on the screen are the whole show, and this genial showcase for standup comic Jo Koy has the advantage of showing off a wealth of Asian/Pacific American talent, pretty badly undervalued by establishment Hollywood. |
| Washington PostPat PaduaDespite its broad comedy, typical of “Dukes of Hazzard” director Jay Chandrasekhar, the film has some tender and wise moments. And even if you don’t get all the ethnic jokes, there’s plenty of family drama that anybody will recognize, no matter their background. |
| VarietyLisa KennedyInstead of character and chemistry, the film employs a series of running gags meant to support the star’s likability and not compete with his wisecracks. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe low-hanging-fruit laughs and occasional flashes of charm make Easter Sunday a perfectly watchable if generally underwhelming comedy. But hey, maybe this sitcom pilot will be picked up after all, with or without the funny accent. |
| Rolling StoneKatie RifeIt’s clear that Jo Koy loves his relatives, and wants the world to know it. It’s just that his style would be better served within the more earnest confines of a traditional multi-cam sitcom. |
| The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckFood, family, a big karaoke scene … and a spotlight on an immigrant community underrepresented in Hollywood. There are worse ways to spend 96 minutes. |
| Austin ChronicleSarah JaneIf we don’t have an amazing Filipino American family, we can all still relate to the familial shenanigans that revolve around a holiday. Is it worth a watch? Sure. Is it worth seeing on the big screen? Nah. |
