Critical response
editPhilbert Ortiz Dy of ClickTheCity.com rated the film 1.5 out of 5.[3] He stated, "The end credits of D'Kilabots Pogi Brothers, Weh? share space with little vignettes of the two lead actors thanking the various guest stars of the movie for showing up. Many of these stars end up making the same joke: that they aren’t getting paid. These vignettes sum up the problem with the movie as a whole. For one thing, much of the movie seems to have been designed around these cameo appearance. And secondly, the movie has a tendency to repeat its humor. These problems are compounded by an odd production that can’t seem to decide what the name of one of the characters is."
Rating
editIt was graded "PG-13" by the Cinema Evaluation Board of the Philippines.[2]
