I Am Not Big Bird

Enrique Gil leads an absolutely game cast through an unapologetically raunchy and sidesplittingly hilarious barkada flick that asks questions about real brotherhood, male self-esteem, and the true measure of a man. (A)

A ridiculously bonkers and outrageously hilarious trip that goes for the jugular, proving that it's more than just a big dick. It's a motherfvcking riot. (4/5)

The movie's appeal lies in its oddity, dancing on the line of the insanely ridiculous throughout its runtime.

After doing loveteam projects for so long with his partner Liza Soberano, Gil showed that he has what it takes to be a comedic actor. He has a natural knack for the genre, going all out [...] to prove a point that he does not have a 'big bird'. (4/5)

Usually takot ang mainstream na maglabas ng R-16 na comedy dahil iniisip nila na walang manonood. And yet heto ang I Am Not Big Bird na buong tapang na naglabas ng bayag. (Maganda)

It is a big move for an established production company to release an R-16 sexy comedy film nationwide. It is a bold decision for famous celebrities to play the roles and say some taboo words. This movie has opened doors for others to create more gutsy and refreshing concepts for the Filipino audience to see. (2.94/5)

The sillier the story gets, the stronger the whole thing is. Its heart, inexplicably, is in the same place as its penis.

The biggest selling point of this new film is its unlikely star -- Enrique Gil -- in his first film post Liza Soberano. (7/10)

Depending on your taste, your mileage may vary on the heavy amount of penis jokes, but there’s no denying the movie isn’t afraid to push the envelope when it can, making for a memorable time.

‘I Am Not Big Bird’ is a comedic throwback to the late 90s and early 2000s aesthetic, with notable remnants such as VHS tapes and digicams, as well as an ode to outlandish action films from decades past, adding fuel to the parody fire. (3.5/5)

If you’re going to do a film like #IAmNotBigBird, everyone should be committed to the act and they sure did here. (3.5/5)

This one is definitely a riot. It’s 70s exploitation cinema but less problematic. (Nikko’s choices as a gay man? Not giving.) Reminding Philippine audiences the great tradition of Eddie Romero and Cirio Santiago. (3.5/5)

I Am Not Big Bird, Enrique Gil’s big comeback, pulls no punches when it comes to delivering campy and wacky sex-driven humor. (3.5/5)

Funny, raunchy and everything you want it to be. I Am Not Big Bird doesn’t hold back on giving the audience a fun ride that is full of surprises that can go extreme and uncomfortable at times. (3.5/5)

'I Am Not Big Bird' proves that no comedy is cringy to watch as long as the execution and jokes are well-executed. (6.4/10)

...I liked it, I wish they leaned in more on the jokes and made it even more raunchy, but I'll leave that for the sequel. (Please make a sequel.) (3/5)

...for viewers who are looking for a little bit more substance in their comedies, and for those who prefer more modern sensibilities when it comes to sex-related matters, the film might not be as funny.

It's ridiculously stupid and fun, a much warranted breather from the recent forgettable years of Philippine film comedy from filmmakers who are outdated with their material. (3/5)

I never thought Enrique Gil can be this funny! Its a good "CUMback" movie for Quen, MALAKI ang potential nya sa comedy! (3/5)
