Tolo Tolo

As usual, Zalone tries to "educate" the audience by impersonating characters who reflect some of the worst Italian stereotypes and behaviors. This time the main theme is immigration from Africa. The movie is full of irreverent jokes and gags that aim to politically correctness, hypocriticals, racists, do-gooders, embedded reporters, politicians, fashion-addicts and fascists. Although one would expect some drama (given the issues addressed), this is a comedy and my advice is: Don't take it too seriously. Personally, I didn't like the end and I must admit that Zalone's previous movies (directed by Nunziante) were probably better made. However, the movie is enjoyable and gives some food for thoughts.

It'sa comedy yes. It's modern and touches a theme, the immigration and the life conditions of immigrants, in a serious way but with a little comic verve.

It's a movie that let you think we're almost all lucky for being born in normal countries.

Checco Zalone, who's real name is Luca Medici, takes some inspiration from the great Alberto Sordi and recall scenes from other cult movies, one scene is taken from Save The Private Ryan.

The movie has several good actors, beautiful scenes and photography, but also some sad moments.

The theme of the immigration has never been treated in a so dramatic way and at the same time in a so funny but respectful way.

Not my movie of choice but delighted to see the cinema theatre in my hometown getting full in and out. Having lived in Africa for 10 years I found characters and dynamics to be pertinent.

This is a macaroni dish of roman style, il duce like italianism, where an bankrupt italian businessman flees the irs and emigrates to somewhere in africa, where isisterrorizes and takes command, and he must like all the others flee, but having shreded his own passport he has to go through all the hardships that african immigrants has to go through on their journy to the ''promised land'', on a rubber dingy, a lottery of life whereever that maybe.

its trully a great comedy on behalf of the italian spirit and nationalism. its not a racial comedy, no, the xenophobic moments are dually shared and its rather one italian trying to avoid drowning by hanging on the flagpole on the sinking ships aft, trying to save himself from the africans that do rib him from money and his narcississtic dignity. if youre an italian ''tolo tolo'' is a must see, if your an european you should definately have a look, cause it shows the relentless nothingness that european politicians do in their daily life at work, thats merely nothing at all. its a poutpoury of colours and language, and a good mix of true facts, and pure fantasy through comedy

to see this film youll have to love irony cause its specked full of it, also the choice of score is a bullseye, easy italian, with a spicy sound of african rythms. the cast is like an italian salad, tasty and colourfilled, and the whole shabang did entertain, even a grumpy old man that doesnt know italian language at all. a recommend it is.

Probably only appropriate for an exclusively Italian audience, the movie has its strength in the very topical subject of immigration, basis of the entire plot. As per its extravagant character and director Checco Zalone, the movie has a very peculiar comic style, which can be either loved or hated. Very hilarious gags are alternated with some dubious gaps in the plot. Overall, an enjoyable movie to watch.
