Mang Jose is a 2021 Philippine superhero comedy film written by Mark Joseph Papa and directed by Raynier Brizuela. It stars Janno Gibbs, Mikoy Morales, Bing Loyzaga, Jerald Napoles and Manilyn Reynes. The film is inspired by a Parokya ni Edgar song of the same title. [1]
It always pays to be good. And for superhero-in-hiding Mang Jose, it is quite literal. Having the ability of energy absorption & redirection, he covertly saves people only if they rent him out.
One day, carefree young man Tope rents Mang Jose to help him save his mother who has been abducted by mysterious troopers of King Ina, an enigmatic cunning villainess who is out there to annihilate all remaining superheroes in hiding.
Little do Mang Jose and Tope know the quest would lead them to pay the terrible price in order to save the priceless truth binding them: family.
The film premiered at Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival on July 11, 2021, [7] and it was released at the Philippines on November 17, 2021, via Vivamax Plus. [8] The film was originally set for theatrical release for November 10, once the cinemas opened.
JE CC of LionhearTV rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote:
Comedy and action blend beautifully in this Vivamax feature that takes on the superhero genre with distinctly Filipino sensibilities. In this film, the titular Mang Jose demands payment from those he helps. [9]
