Variety, January 14, 2004 Taking low-budget to new heights, "Lumpia" is a youth project that got delightfully out of hand.
Product Description LUMPIA "the ultimate home made movie" finally comes home in a special edition DVD packed with never before seen features and music videos exclusively created for this home edition. LUMPIA takes you back to the late-90's when tension is at an all-time high in Fogtown High School. James (Francis Custodio) and his misfit pack of friends do their best to stand up to Tyrone (Edward Baon) and his crew of thugs who have invented a new fad of (gulp!) F.O.B. bashing! But only one hero stands in their way... a silent avenger (Carlos Baon) who delivers justice one deep-fried LUMPIA at a time! With James falling for his classmate Kelly (Elizabeth Mendoza), will such a fighter be enough to ward off the one enemy that threatens to obliterate all?
Romance, action, and comedy are all rolled up deliciously in this satire full of slapstick martial arts sequences and comic-book battles. Don't miss out on this home-made cult sensation and experience why LUMPIA is the "youth project that got delightfully out of hand." (Variety)!

- Filipino or not, this was terrible.
- It certainly was admirable as a student project, but it wasn't very good. It wasn't funny. It didn't make much sense. As a Filipino, I wanted to like it, but just could not. Save your time and money. … More reviews
- Hoy! Watch this film and eat your lumpia!
- I remember several years ago when I saw a teaser trailer for a low-budget film titled "LUMPIA", I was interested in seeing more but had to wait several more years until the film came out on DVD to finally check it out!
As I have always supported Filipino and Asian artists and filmmakers, I know how it is to create a project using friends, family… More reviews
- great for a home video
- This movie is much better than predicted. It looks more like an indie film rather than a home video gone wild! It also reflects Filipino culture in a way not normally expressed by mainstream media. Makes me want to go out for lumpia more often than I do. More reviews
- A classic movie for everyone to enjoy!
- Lumpia is a great movie because it has all the elements of an entertaining film. There is comedy, action, romance, and yes there is a lesson to be learned in the end.
