Ramon

An easy watch with a lot of different sides to it. A mix of romance, comedy and action. Its best attribute is that it never takes itself too seriously. The blend of actors, both professional and amateurs is quite natural. The dialogue, unlike most Romanian movies, is understandable and witty. Compared to productions like "Teambuilding", the humour is not as low-brow and it contains subtle satire. The soundtrack is quite original and it elevates the scenes more than usual, giving them almost a holiday feeling. The cinematography is discrete and does not rely on excessive filters to induce a mood. All in all, one of the good Romanian movies that appeared in the last year along with "Weddings, christenings and funerals"

A remarcapable comedy for all ages. Cinematography in Romania isn't dead. Great job for romanian actors. Keep it going!!!

Being nostalgic for old romanian movies and actors, I must say, "Ramon" brings to me a great surprize. It was enough to watch the trailer to capture my interest and after seeing the entire movie I must say I really like it. A funny and predictable story about the differences or similarities between the country side life and the big city life, making a perfect portrait of romanian manner of being. Great acting, great sound, good scenes with Bucharest in the night, good storyline for a romantic comedy. Bravo!!!

Beautiful family movie, relaxing and really funny comedy, great production, great actors, I had a great time while watching it.

Unlike other romanian wannabe comedies, this one does clearly distinguish among them. I don't regret watching it and I recommend everyone to do it as will cheer you up. Good job, 10/10 from my side.

Bromania and all the influencers clique should take notes and learn how a quality movie should be made based on a simple idea, but played with humor, with good actors, smart script without the usual cringe so often found in recent comedies. Great job Pavel Bartos, it was a pleasure to watch the film!

This product, as this is not a movie even in the widest understanding of Bollywood or Hallmark feel-good movies, is an unchained sequence of scenes aimed lower than the average movie goer.

It does hit with the immature population, or the average commercial TV consumer, first going to see a movie at the cinema, but never exposed to anything that is mildly not a product-placement construct.

I had some hopes when I started this, but had written off almost all of it by the time the start of start credits, and all of it in the first half-hour.

Failing to see any reason to see this, I recommend to see it for commercials during a standard prime-time on TV. Have fun, it lowers IQ by at least 10 points.

The script had a lot of potential to be a decent, lighthearted comedy.

Sadly, almost every aspect of cinematography that went into making the movie was terrible.

The most glaring issue that bothered me is the scenography and costume design.

It's like the people responsible for it have never seen, for example, a romanian country-side home and people. Instead they put together what looks like museum sets, where everything is perfectly placed and there is no authenticity. The clothes all look brand new bought from Zara.

Casting is terrible too, nobody fits their role at all, the "peasants" all look like corporate hipsters, the "bum" looks like the richest bum ever with perfect figure, hair, eyebrows, makeup, teeth...

Acting is pretty terrible too. There is an attempt to play some caricatural character like Ramon and his cousin, but the actors/directors don't really commit to the portrayal so what ends up coming through is half/half. Half caricature half serious, and neither works at all, it just feels forced and cringey.

The only saving grace seems "Gargaritza" who's the only good casting choice, in my opinion, and does a decent job portraying the self centered, yoga practicing vegan hip girl who faints at the sight of meat.

All in all, this feels more like a Youtube skit you put together with friends and an iphone, rather than an actual piece of cinema.

Oh and the constant and obvious product placement is annoying as hell too.
