Complet Necunoscuti

Comparing the Romanian version with the other three that I saw before (Italian, French, Spanish) I saw that the Romanians lost one of the main ideas of the film - the mystery of the Moon. Here everything ends flat and in a bad light for the participants. I don't understand why so much euphoria in the rating given to this version so far.

At the 30min mark, I stopped the movie, wondering why I liked the original, when this seemed so bad.

Then I played the original and remembered. The acting, directing, script there were much more realistic and wonderfully made.

This one falls short as a stand-alone movie, falls even shorter when compared to the original. The acting in this one is flat, each character talks at once, never interrupted, like clockwork, which seems so rigid and unrealistic.

The lines aren't culturally adapted to Romanian, and some of the beats change in a forced manner, leaving the viewer to wonder how did that happen.

Even if is a remake of a great movie, this is a romanian version and it is great. One of my favourite romanian movie. It is such a long time I haven't seen a good comedy and now I have the chance to see this fabulous movie with great actors who played absolutely magnificent. Octavian Strunila became my favourite romanian film director and I hope he will have the support to make more good movies.

...why it fells like cheap copy/paste....probably because I've seen the French version....not much to consider....but this one is even "better"... what a hell is wrong with you guys ? Strunila?

Let's face it....you could bring so much "Romanian touch"...

I am an average movie lover who rarely watches randomly a movie or series. Usually, I like to receive new recommendations from trustworthy friends or from social media, that's why I can relatively stay in touch with trending movies.

After every movie, I like to give a review, then I compare it with IMDB ratings. For this movie, I have seen that the ratings are moving from 1 to 10 and after reading them I have to make some non-spoiler mentions.

Before watching "Complet necunoscuti", you need to know that there are another 20 movies with the same title, theme, ideas and dialogue, because this is a franchise movie, made for multiple languages. I find dissapointing the comments which state this movie as a "copy-paste" one, it is a "feature" of every movie from this franchise.

The movie has a very good script, combined with a remarkable overall acting. There are emotions, fun (big like for the final scene), pretty good jokes and drama. It is a satire about relationships and couples, about hidden truths and social judgement. The Romanian aproach was interesting and as a results, this version is better rated than the original (italian).

Maybe, it is in Top 5 Romanian movies from last 5 years and I believe that 8.5/10 is a fair rating.
