Mirciulica

Loved the clever jokes and puns. It has great characters that work great together.

It also has some important topics : relationship with parents, the conflict between generations, old principles vs new principles, not so good vs good, innocence vs corruptions.

I felt that the whole situations was resolved a little bit too quickly and fortunate. Nonetheless Bunica is the real superhero of the movie. I was hoping to see more of her in the movie and explore a little more the connection with her nephew.

Overall good direction and it has a positive ending.

A great first movie from Mircea and the gang.

Being native speakers, we enjoy watching Romanian films on a weekend with the extended family, and we've seen some wonky stuff over time, but this really took the biscuit.

Very thin plot, almost nonexistent, same as the production value, no acting skills to be found here, apart from the boss, and that's not saying a lot.

Nothing happens and does so very, very slowly. 0 out of 10, do not recommend.

Currently it's sitting at no. 1 on Netflix, probably from all the people clicking out of curiosity , but maybe that should say something about Netflix as well - after all, they paid money for this slow dumpster fire.

I think the essence of the movie plot is related to the hard times Romania was offering to its youngsters 15 years ago or more. Lots of places where mediocrity prevailed or meritocracy was something to dream of. As a youngster, you could look weird because you were thinking healthy. Or you could get appreciated but kept somewhere aside as a nice guy, not being able to make an impact and change things. Now we are living in other times. For people not living those times I imagine this movie makes less sense.

Now, how good was the movie in expressing artistically those times or how funny, that's a different story.

I think it looked as made by begineers. Characters could have been better shaped, better played, jokes could have been better, the image overall could have been better. Even if made by, let's say begineers, the movie could have been better by allocating more time to make it.

However, I am happy that Mircea (Bravo) made the movie, going past the youtube sketches and I hope they will get better and better. That's the bottom line.

I expected more of this movie. It has such a bad plot.

It looks just like an extended clip of Mircea Bravo, not like a real movie. It seems that they put a very small effort into the plot. Everything that's going on in the movie is very predictable, it has no action, no twists.

The movie has some fun moments, but they are very few.

The acting is also very cheap, it's just Mirciulica's mother and boss that look more experienced. Mirciulica is just like in his videos, has nothing in common with acting.

Overall it's one of those movies I regret going to, even though I respect and support it's creators.

Many people say bad things about this kind of material but they forget there's ''Entertainment material'' and ''Artistic Cinema'' in the World. This film made money because the creator has a large following on social media in Romania. I don't think it was intended to impress artistically. You don't see superhero movies winning Oscars. The same concept applies here with Mirciulica. And the same concept applied to ''Miami Bici'' and ''Teambuilding'' movies in Romania. So it is futile to comment on these kinds of material like it was supposed to be real Cinema. Real Cinema costs money and it is made by studied and seasoned artists.
