Munje: opet!

I was simply disgusted while trying to watch this and couldn't even get past the first half of the movie.

The first one was a masterpiece, showing what talent and desire to express it can do. Had no budget, was made in weeks or even days and we all quoted every single line from the movie and still do.

Then this, a collection of TikTok shorts with no sense or meaning. Feels like every scene was done in one take and that some of the actors had bottles of Vinjak in between the scenes.

Overexaggerated reactions and no feeling of natural. Artificial generic scenography, acting like it was made for Pink TV "Kursadzije" or similar , sense of actors not giving a darn about the movie itself just made me leave one of my first reviews here. And I hate it that it had to be this bad...

I just hope this movie is not gonna make me feel noxious when I watch the first one again. It certainly feels like the whole crew tried.

YUCK!!!!

Once epic movie, receives a comeback 20 years later. Bad idea from the start, buk okay, lets give it a chance.

After seeing the movie, I will need some time to recover from it.

To be honest, I couldn't wait for the film to get till the end.

Despite the acting crew, with many people from Serbian cultural and public scene had a small role in the movie the movie came out to be a total disaster.

Storyline already seen, jokes which cannot make you laugh in a thousand years, some actors who were heroes of my childhood degrading themselves, sponsors on every corner, just make you wonder if anyone read the script before accepting the role.

All in all we definitely have a problem to say if something is bad, and this movie is really, really bad. They ruined the memory on a movie which is a rate 10 without doubt.

Honest recommendation, do not watch it, so that we can forget it as soon as possible.

I knew there is no way for this movie to reach the same quality as the first one but this was disaster. It feels like movie was made more for the old crew just to hang out together than to make a movie. There is no depth to the script, locations are picked terribly. This is a rare movie which filled me with some negative energy.

Cast and acting is so so. Those used to be among the very best actors in serbia but here they didn't seem to bother too much. Plot is chaotic, very hard for audience to connect with.

First movie was great because it deeply went into lifestyle of two individuals living in a broken system. And it pretty much zoomed on one single night. This storyline does have none of that.

I'll say it right away: the new Dudes movie is probably the worst film ever made in the Serbian language.

Watching this movie is a horrifying experience, and the only thing that comes to mind as a comparison is summoning spirits that went wrong, like a bad nightmare that only gets worse and after which I feel like the nastiest scorpions have been bothering me all night.

And it had to be that way: all the positive wild energy that the first movie carried and that we really felt and lived those few years has long been eaten by darkness and vomited out undigested bones that hit us on the head as punishment for not leaving these areas when we should have. So this film also hits us on the head with Smoki, Motorola, A1, Nis Express, Maca from Big Brother, the scream of Seka Sablic, "comedy" by Sergej Trifunovic, Cobi's autotune BS, general nonsense, Vienna - where most of the plot is located for some weird reason. Every second of this abomination hurts, because stupid jokes don't stop, recycling of old ones doesn't stop, torture is constant and only intensifies. The story is completely pointless, no one has made a name for themselves in their roles here. I haven't seen anything good in this movie. At its peak, everything looks like a mix of Zikina dinastija and Zam parade + everyone is drunk and drugged.

There were attempts at some contact with reality, some criticism or whatever, but it's all stale and wouldn't have made sense even 20 years ago because it's extremely poorly executed. Some kids go to a chemistry competition, people carry selfie sticks, the car runs on a rope, oh man. Rakija and ajvar in travel bags, a little joke with the Prizren-Timok accent, just because. There's also that conceited character from Dnevnjak, he really doesn't belong in Munje. Or Juice, or Maca. No one else belongs in Munje, Munje are a thing of the past, they're dead now, and it would be best if no one had ever dug them out of the grave. Now they're Mulje.

I give up. I would write more, but I feel like half of my brain died by the end of the movie, the malignant cringe has penetrated my limbs and I hope I'll be able to get out of bed in the morning. I feel mentally and physically irreparably damaged.

Conclusion: Don't waste your time and money on this trash! It's much worse than the trailer and everything else you've ever seen. I recommend it only to masochists and maybe for research purposes. The authors and everyone involved should be ashamed of this abomination.

I've started watching this with no expectations whatsoever. Only thing I had to measure possible quality of this was the first, original film, which wasn't very good in my opinion, its only good part was the music. It had serious problems with lead female characters bad acting, lead male actors were too old for characters they played, unsuccesful and pretentious jokes, weak plot that leaned too much on celebrities cameos and not delivering to high expectations after being hyped a lot. So I thought this one would probably be worse than that... I was wrong.

This film is actually fun to watch. Yes, the plot is a bit basic and nonsensical bit that is ok because all the fun in it comes from super self-aware jokes. You can still see legends of Belgrade urban culture in silly roles, but also some new ones from the opposite side. It puts together different age groups and completely separate worlds that exist in Serbia. I can see that people are disappointed with casting popular performers from turbo-folk world into a film that's supposed to be alternative culture but I was ok with that as I didn't really recognise them. It offers a pretty accurate image of modern Serbia through lenses of different generations. I had a good laugh, and good fun.

Music was different, not my cup of tea, but up to date with trends. Casting was great and there was no noticeable bad acting as bad actress roles were kept minimal. Sergej Trifunovic was exceptional. I liked attention to detail in costume and set design very much. Especially main characters childhood rooms in which they still live, with all the residue of tumultuous past decades in Serbia. And a soccer legend, Dule Savic, who turned Z in the meantime, was only shown on a poster, hugging a criminal, which I thought was brilliant. For me, it did bring some of that special radio B92 spirit that kept us alive during awful Serbian '90ies.

All in all, it wasn't a masterpiece, but it has something to offer for a wide audience, it's was witty and not boring at all. I give it 7 stars.
