Reviews Movies 2025. Sampung utos kay Josh Jerald Napoles, Pepe Herrera, Irma Adlawan
Director : Marius Talampas
Writer : Sherwin Buenvenida
Stars : Jerald Napoles, Pepe Herrera, Irma Adlawan
Sampung Utos Kay Josh (lit. 'Ten Commandments For Josh') is a 2025 Philippine black comedy film written by Sherwin Buenvenida and directed by Marius Talampas. The main stars is Jerald Napoles and Pepe Herrera. This is the last film written by Sherwin Buenvenida as he died on June 2024.
The film is about a good samaritan meets satan when he experienced bad luck and violate the ten commandments.
Joshua de Guzman (Jerald Napoles) is a devout Catholic who is always active in spreading the mantra that Jesus is the Boss in our lives and we must always follow His orders.
Joshua de Guzman (Jerald Napoles) lives with his religious mother Elizabeth (Irma Adlawan) in their house filled with religious icons. Elizabeth (Irma Adlawan) works as a commercial loan manager at Kalayaan Bank, under her manager Mr. Montes (Mortiz Weight). The boss's daughter Ella (Debbie Garcia) is his Lover.
Josh's blessed life was all messed up and collapsed one day when the NBI (Joel Saracho and Raffy Tejada) accused him of embezzling money from the bad loan. Her mother was diagnosed with a serious illness. His office buddies -- kleptomaniac Bill (stand-up comic James Caraan), sex maniac Eli (VMX stud Albie Casino), and Josh fan Zoren (MTRCB GB Labrador ad dad) -- help Josh overcome his faith and obedience to his Boss Jesus floundering .
Jerald Napoles has starred in dramas lately, especially “Instant Daddy” (2023) and “Seoulmeyts” (2024), but he has had to act in more serious dramas than others. From playing Lods in “Rewind” (2023), Pepe Herrera plays a nag who taunts Satan here, but I don't get the point of all that fruit he's brandishing. The jokes and gags from the ensemble of supporting comic pals may have some misses or shock value, but in general they are
Religion has always been a thorny topic in films, but writer Sherwin Bienvenida and director Marius Talampas take a firm stance on this, pushing the edge of the R16 rating. The story is an adaptation of the Book of Job, and entire scenes are dedicated to this parallelism. Comedy can somehow lighten the mood, but the point is clear. Of course, there are still some cliche scenes that seem ridiculous, all done with a slapstick spirit.
