Jerald Napoles, Pepe Herrera tackle faith & goodness in comedy movie ‘Sampung Utos Kay Josh’

 

If we are to talk about faith and religion, comedy would be an unlikely approach. But in a world run by social media and its wokeness, comedy is one of those non-preachy ways to discuss about being good, the main takeaway in the comedy-drama movie ‘Sampung Utos Kay Josh”. 

Starring Jerald Napoles and Pepe Herrera, also surprise personalities to dive deep on anything holy and divine, ‘Sampung Utos Kay Josh’ tastefully and appropriately uses comedy in a way that it does not discredit any form of praise or belief. 

Everything is going well for Josh (Jerald Napoles). He has a good career, a beautiful girlfriend, and supportive friends until he wakes up one day to see everything in disarray. He then starts to question these unexpected unpleasant events in his life as he had been nothing but obedient and loyal to the Ten Commandments. 

His character embarks on a series of questioning if he deserves the sudden rush of life challenges. In this realization, Satan (Pepe Herrera) accompanies him. This is where the comedy — and his heartwarming life journey — begins. 

A theater actor himself, Napoles demonstrates his natural flair for comedy and juggles it with his capability also for drama. Herrera, who once played God in the MMFF 2023 blockbuster ‘Rewind’, also entertains even with his limited appearances. The duo are successful in holding the audiences’ attention, as they navigate through the story with laughs and tears.

 

If we are to wish for more comedy in local cinema, we would need something like this: a material that opens a discussion regarding our sensitivities while serving it as fun and engaging as possible.

Sampung Utos Kay Josh’ also stars Irma Adlawan, Albie Casino, James Caraan, GB Labrador, Blucher Abang, Debbie Garcia and Edgar Mortiz. It is directed by Marius Talampas (‘Ang Pangarap Kong Holdap’, 2018). 

It will be screened in cinemas nationwide starting January 29th.
