Critical response
Justino Dormiendo, writing for the Manila Standard, gave Mahirap Maging Pogi a negative review, criticizing it as "downright ugly" for its central ironic joke of Andrew E.'s character being seen as handsome even though he is not, and stated that "Ugliness is never a virtue especially if it is used to deceive the viewer." He also noted that the film is "not much fun and the gags are hardly original", citing its general use of toilet humor and a subplot which directly imitates the main storyline from Charlie Chaplin's 1931 film City Lights.[4]
