Reviews

I read the other review on the site about this Italian show and I couldn't help but write my own just to underline the fact that the other guy must be either totally crazy or he might be somehow ironic...

This show was funny, no doubt about it, I was 10 when it started and I really liked it.. but then again I was 10!!! haha Lately I watched a couple of episodes of the re-runs that commercial channels broadcast at night and I was still kinda laughing and everything but maaaan, the show sucks big time... The actors are the worst actors ever been casted on a show, especially a couple of them. In the other review you can read that the cast was "actually full of talented young actors" - that's funny to see that all that supposed talent went nowhere since basically none of them ever made any kind of career after the show... Just have a look at their profiles...

About the supposed "deep and meaningful" matters the show was dealing with : where did you see that? About his comment on director Claudio Risi... man, u gotta be joking... That ain't either of the 2 famous Risi directors... Their names are Marco and Dino.... Claudio Risi had no "artistic and often experimental touch" whatsoever. - and also no career after the show was canceled...

In fact the things I remember more about his "talented" directing are the commercial close-ups... Thousands of now totally illegal commercials during the show itself... one of the characters had a brand new different Opel car every episode for example, commercials of ice-creams, cigarettes, pasta and so on...

Summing up, I can't say that it's worst show ever produced for Italian TV because unfortunately there are worse productions but calling this the best Italian Show ever must be some kind of weird joke....

I guess this movie can be fully understood only if one's Italian so if you're not I guess you shouldn't even bother.

The movie is extremely funny, no need to look for a deep meaning, if you wanna watch it, just turn your brain off for a couple of hours and enjoy

Don't even bother to understand why some of the actors in the movie could get the part, some minor characters in the movie really look like they couldn't even act in a high school play butI guess back in those days the industry was working in a different way. But anyway that's not the point, I told you, just turn your brain off, this is one of those movies you can watch 20 times and still laugh for the non-sense of some lines and also for the awesome performance of Lino Banfi who's definitely at his best in this movie.

Honestly I think this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life, I really don't understand the average it has on the site. I wasn't expecting much as I'm normally not really a big fan of blockbuster movies or movies that basically depend on good special/visual effects but I was at least expecting some kind of plot or some good performances by the actors but I was totally disappointed in that too.

Tom Cruise is really getting on my nerves lately, he had a good performance in Collateral but for the rest he should start concentrating on his job and just shut up, his behavior lately is just ridiculous and kinda scary Also the little girl, Dakota Fanning is very annoying, both in the movie and in real life. You listen to her interviews and she sounds like a 40 year old woman... give the poor girl some normal life. About her performance in the movie, well she is just screaming from the first minute to the last one, I was hoping she would shut her mouth during the whole movie... She was way better in Man on Fire, I guess she's already full of herself

Well, in the end I wasn't expecting to laugh with this movie but due to the total non-sense some parts made me laugh more then a supposedly funny movie. But I guess that was not really the intention of Mr Spielberg, was it???
