7/10
A movie that has many memorable scenes and quotes
bsinc12 February 2002
This movie is very funny, but lacks a plot (this can be justified by it's title, meaning a sort of Who gives a f...). But considering our countries lack of financial support when it comes to film making, this one turned to be all right. And it truly has some exceptionally great scenes. A great summer movie. 7/10

Quite funny, lacks the story
MissM15 August 2000
This new slovenian film is entertaining, its humor is fresh and funny. I liked the plot, the only thing is there is not enough story for an hour and a half. The acting is quite natural. One of the better slovenian movies of the 90's.

Could be better. However still brave and interesting.

OK. I watched this movie three years after it's theatrical release and I must say that I wasn't all crazy about it however looking back at the time it was made it definitely set the precedence (along with V Petek Zvecer) for low budget feature films in Slovenia. It was made from scratch (if we compare it to other state-sponsored feature films) with amateur actors and extremely young and inexperienced crew (which is clearly seen in the movie couple of times). Of course it could be better however it took a lot of courage to make it and of course a lot of enthusiasm. As I said before it also set the ground for the low budget filmmaking in Slovenia. Feature films Jebiga and V Petek Zvecer (both budgeted at around $25.000 for production) showed that movies can also be done in Slovenia if you bypass the Slovenian Film Fund (although they both received money for postproduction from it) and just go out and make it. Both movies could be much better however given the time and money (they were both shot in 14 days) they both look and feel fresh and different from standard Slovenian film production. Some say worse, some say better. I say welcome! Aftermath of their release was over a dozen feature films made using the same formula. We could definitely say that together Jebiga and V Petek Zvecer started a new wave of filmmaking in Slovenia.
