Not bad for their first feature film

The Slovenian YouTube stars (finally) made a film after short web series with the same title. I enjoyed series, so I was looking forward for this. You could see they took it more seriously and it's good that way. I liked movie. It was clearly low budget, but well made with the equipment they had available. Since no movie is perfect(maybe only 2001:ASO), it's the same with this one. There were some holes in story and storytelling, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I really liked some scenography and I think director did a great job, as well as the actors. Acting was great and it was nice to know a little more about characters. Some characters were a little bit changed from the miniseries. Ending was kinda stressful for me, since I was waiting for more action and and... something. I liked what they did with Matevž at the end, chilling while his new girlfriend was working, showing he was the boss and that he isn't any different from Antun, just bossing her around. I wouldn't be surprised if he will sell her as well so he can get his 10k back! Better find some farmer! Anyway, I'm hoping for more of Pr' Hostar, maybe not movie, but series again. Altho I want to see more movies/series from these guys! They clearly have a lot of ideas. Anyway, back to topic. Movie was great and I was having a great time. They can be proud of themselves for creating a movie in SLOVENIA(!). Good luck in the future!

A proper comedy movie, making a generation laugh and setting milestones at the same time

8,5/10

A cracking comedy, targeting a specific audience with a specific sense of humour, makes up for the lack of character depth by light- heartedly incorporating at times vulgar humour with present social themes, such as workers' struggle, inter-national relations, greed and power.

Shot and produced by an independent crew of non-professional filmmakers, the movie broke the Slovenian opening weekend record and also attracted the all-time highest number of opening week viewers of a Slovene film. With an appropriately low run time of 90 minutes, the storyline, which in comedies often times becomes dull, is easy to follow and reasonably exciting until the end.

The emphasis of the movie however, is on the slightly politically incorrect humour, at times vulgar and obscene, touching the linguistic and mixing of the Slovene and Croatian languages, accent, sexuality, alcohol(ism), warm insults and inter-personal conflicts. Character development is not deep, but does give us enough information to understand and laugh at their motives and differences. At the same time, the movie does offer the viewer a kind of a lesson, putting sticking together before an individual's greed.

For an unprecedented achievement of stepping up from posting Youtube videos a couple of times a year to breaking viewing records, the production crew surely deserves all praise for such a novelty on the Slovene movie scene.
