Quo vado?

The movie has been acclaimed for having underlined some sad aspects of the Italian economical and political world, using a comical facade. It is a sort of walk through different Italian regions, characterized by common stereotypes.

I found this movie enough boring and repetitive, and lacking of real comical elements that could last in my mind and let me laugh again and again. The storyline is very flat and expected.

Script and direction are poor, such as the performance of many actors. Maybe the only positive element are the songs, written by Zalone himself, that can sound funny and well-suiting the context.

This could be a good movie to watch with your family to have some laughs. It is nothing more than this and I will never be tired of repeating his success in Italy is undeserved and justified only by an efficient promotional system.

The movie is a true comedy. Its only drawback is its very limited audience. It's a movie made for Italians and Greeks. Germans, North Europeans and others should not waste their time on this. They will not be able to conceive the majesty of it. They are also kindly requested not to ruin the overall rating of this masterpiece with their votes. :-) Thank you.

I was zapping TV when I caught this movie starting in a secondary channel and I ended up watching 'till the end. I didn't recognize the actors but I know that European comedies can be quite the surprise and so was this one. Image quality is good with beautiful sceneries, there are the comical songs but above all, being an European myself, I totally got it. It's not full of stereotypes, it's more like reality slightly exaggerated for comical purposes. Or like we say here: "One has to laugh, so not to cry."

One of the best comedies i have ever seen. I laughed and smiled from the start to the end.

I laughed out loud, most of the film, and I'm not sure why. It felt almost like a dirty pleasure. The movie portrays and even celebrates several aspects of Latin/Mediterranean cultures (which are to a great extent inherited by most Latin American countries). I felt it represented my people and it resonated with me.

It does a great job caricaturing the profile of the natural born public worker, who aspires nothing more than a post in public office and the security that comes with it.

It uses Nordic cultures to contrast traditional Italian values, and how the world is changing, and what is politically correct, versus what older generations expected.

All in all I found it a refreshing break from Hollywood based humor and mindset, the whole you gotta be a winner thing, you gotta be a passionate worker vs the more plain joy de vivre that celebrates life, and does not need work to justify its existence.
