Tolo Tolo

I'm italian. I think each Zalone's movie is mainly for italians, starting from the language he uses. Tolo Tolo is the first movie directed by Checco Zalone and for the first time he's not just comic, he's not used, he wants to try to swap the audience with him during the movie (an Italian audience). I enjoyed watching it. Honestly i'd say thanks to him for what he did

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.

Another film with the comedian Checco Zalone as the protagonist. The film is different from the various advertising clips around for some time. Is a non-racist film, in the end Checco makes it clear that we are all the same and there are no color distinctions; we are all human. To be a record-breaking box office film, I expected more.

Really poor comedy. Zalone tries to replicate the previous successes but he collects a huge and embarrassing failure.

You can tell that this is the fruit of a deeply well-though creative and sociological process. Zalone takes about 2 to 3 years to complete a movie project and this allows him to have such results. The movie is full of great jokes which only Italians can fuly appreciate (I guess), some of them very witty, others apparently low-level but that make sense for the character's attitude. The obvious theme of the movie is immigration and it is well depicted together with all the hypocrisy around the topic. I watched it as an Italian with other Italian friends and know by experience how precise the social commentary adn satire of the film was. The idea of the trailer for the movie was also the touch of a genius, as its apparently politically incorrect tones made also a ton of bigot or shallow people to go and watch it at the cinemas: the movie is clearly the opposite of racist (as any human being with decency or a glimpse of culture could not support such a stand).
