Sto je muskarac bez brkova?

Hilarious... I've seen it couple of times, and I keep finding little diamonds here and there... This is a post-nationalist, post-patriotic movie that reverberates with all audiences in the Western Balkans, uncovering the common humanity and exposing the excesses of the recent past. I haven't seen a Croatian movie in almost twenty years, and I am particularly glad to see that Croatian film making is alive and well. I have to admit, the movie reminded me how similar in mentality and thinking the peoples of ex-Yugoslavia really are. While it may be politically incorrect for some today to call the language the movie was filmed in "serbo-croatian", the reality is, if this movie was filmed in "Croatian", "translating" it to "Serbian", as in subtitles, would just add a further element of comedy to it. The difference, particularly for the dialect spoken in the movie, being as between Canadian and American English.

Great and funny mobile.... Maybe non-croatians wont understand croatian style of humor, especially croatian humor speech...in every case great movie

OK, this is NOT the best Croatian movie of all times, but it's hardly the worst either. The story is good, it has a few jokes which are actually funny, and the acting is quite good. However, Hribar shows an amazing lack of sense for humor and rhythm and, while some scenes seem professionally done, the opening sequence, for example, is terrible. A CGI plane? Trash. It's also interesting to see how recent Croatian filmmakers make for a lack of jokes: simply insert a profanity! Amazingly, the whole theater laughed every time a character said an f-word. Even when it was clearly not intended to be funny. Weird. The script saves it and some good actors in supporting roles, but watch Bresan's films for more intelligent Croatian comedy.

P.S. I've seen some people posting about Janica Kostelic... What the hell has that to do with this???

I have nothing but praise for this movie. The plot is OK, nothing special, but OK. The thing that impresses me most is the way author showed so up close and vividly the mentality of southern Croatia. Picturing the everyday life and routine, furthermore showing through the characters very real how the people actually are in the backgrounds of Dalmatia whit their "common" truths and opinions about life in general and religion. I consider that to be the baseline of humor in this film, of course only if you are enough open minded not to find that offensive, but highly humorous.

My utmost praise goes to excellent music in the movie. Once again brilliant Tamara Obrovac showed what a class of musician she is! Her catchy tarantella "Daleko je ko me voli" goes like a leitmotif throughout the film. I enjoyed so much in the music, that I wouldn't mind film being an absolute cr** (which isn't). So if not for the movie, at least go and listen to some fine music!

P.S. If you are hungry for good Croatian movies I recommend "Fine mrtve djevojke" aka "Fine dead girls".

I have to admit that it's a while since I saw such a good Croatian movie.And I'm really happy that the things are starting to move in our filmography.

So I really can't understand the negative comments that I read.OK,maybe it's the question of taste,and we don't want to discuss that,but still: the photography is really good,the story flows well,and I don't find the humor shallow.In fact,I didn't hear such a good haiku poem in a while.

Message of the film is maybe unoriginal (love conquers all).But maybe it's not too bad to hear it again,and again from time to time.I doubt we all live a "pink" lives....
