These are all the languages that I know how to say the color yellow.

It's how I felt watching every single scene of this movie. I don't think 17 words to say Yellow are enough.

Non avevo mai pensato di vedere il biondo Tevere così biondo.

Cheers.

I'll just keep this to a fairly brief synopsis and let you know that the film pretty much has it all. Extremely funny/likeable characters, excellent plot/story-line, a lot of dark and light humour, just enough violence to make things realistic, all mixed together into an extremely enjoyable couple of hours. I didn't want the film to end, to tell you the truth.

What a concept - a bunch of ex-University professors i.e. intellectual nerds - stumble upon a way to make money by inventing a new drug molecule that is not on the illegal list in Italy. Through their combined biological/historical/mathematical knowledge, they happen to make one of the most sought after 'smart drugs' on the market. But of course things get very complicated and go south very quickly.

I'll leave it at that, but you will absolutely love the ride. Again, a brilliant effort and one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Did this come on the wave of Breaking Bad? Yes it did. And still I appreciated the movie and it surely includes some witty parts. The presentation of the characters at the beginning is hilarious, sad and funny at the same time, relatable for a lot of young Italians that found themselves in the same situation in the past 10/20 years.

It is a italian style comedy, but the quality is much higher than recent italian comedies. It is a smart movie, well conceived in everything, in the cast, in the ideas of the script, in the characters, and it is greatly enhanced from a nice color grading (post production work) and the choice of the songs. It describes perfectly the situations of thousands of graduated and Post doctorates who struggle in life, in a caricatural way, the situation of work in Italy, but these thematic is treated in a funny and light way. It is a movie that let you more laughing than thinking. I suggest to watch also the following movies, of this Trilogy very well conceived and done.

Finally an Italian comedy that eschews the stylistic elements that have been imposed in recent years with the so-called "Cinepanettoni"! This movie works so well because of many factors: it makes you laugh, has a cast in a state of grace, it has a nearly flawless script, it's well directed and, unusual for an Italian comedy, it's very close to the technical quality standards of international movies. Also, as all good comedies should do, the movie addresses the contemporary issue of young people who, despite being far too skilled, are not able to make a living because of the scarcity of opportunities. Not bad for a first-time director!
