Teambuilding

I can't understand how this movie was made , I was feeling like I am back in 2000's and watching American Pie what is mean the Americans was doing this types of movies 20 years ago. Stupid jokes and poor actors, well some of them they are not even actors(Pulhac).

The movie is overrated like hell. Glad I didn't pay to watch in cinema. I have just watched on Netflix.

I hope in the future Matei Dima will come with better ideas and movies. To be honest Miami Bici was 100 times better than this. I think we should do more this types of movies(Miami Bici) , let's go out from Romania little bit if we want to be known overseas.

I see it more as a parody(satire) than a comedy per say. If you expect a comedy, you'll be dissapointed, but if you understand the genre of the movie, that this is a mockery of the corporate clichees, tropes, and doublespeak you'll get the right value of the movie.

I believe the actors didn't play badly, they played well for a parody, exagerating some of the reactions. I know some of they actors from other movies, known for goood acting, they played bad on purpose, their "bad acting" is good acting showing "bad acting" and fakeness& hypocrisy happening in everyday corporate life.

I only give it an 8 because there is some unnecessary profanity.

Supposing that most of the viewers will be Romanians, in general, we tend to be too harsh and critical with accomplishments of other Romanian fellows.

In my book comedies fall in two categories: those which makes you smile and those which makes you laugh. Teambuilding is in the latter.

Yes, some jokes are gross, some jokes are cheap, but for sure they makes you laugh. If you can't laugh at this movie, it means you can't laugh at stand up comedy and it means you are a really sad person. In this case I beg you read "Povestea pulei" by Ion Cranga. It should be funny, if is not please go to a psychiatrist.

Sound is ok, the image is decent (don't expect outstanding cinematography). Some actors didn't make a very good job, but this is not a problem because you can laugh of this too. It isn't a realist film and you shouldn't expect realism, but exaggeration and fun.

What remains beyond laughter is the satire. A satire of corporate spirit, of HR bossing around, of drinking too much, of senseless sex, of being dishonest with yourself, of putting labels to others, of indifference, of servilism, of politically corectness and many others.

Kind reminder!

A complete mess that adds together the full range of romanian social, regional and national stereotypes with some corporatist ones. On top of that the "comedy" offers a unnecessary vulgar language which is not at all a reality of the local society.

It offers also a catch for the male audience, bringing some female models as "actors" to play the roles of the Moldavian Team.

It also serves the viewer with product placement for on-line gaming services and alcohol which seems to be a pillar of the "story".

The actors performance is at amateur level at best.

I am not a purist but this movie is a waste.

Long time since I've seen a comedy that actually made me laugh. This was so damn funny, I laughed the whole movie which I don't think it ever happened to me.

You must be a stressed stiffed romanian to not appreciate how absolutely superb this movie was and at the same time you need to be romanian to understand the huge amount of cultural subtleties present in the movie. At every turn in this movie there was fun made by something.. either corporate culture, work attitude, regional pride and common traits, current situations, etc They made fun of themselves and everything/everybody around and maybe some jokes were obvious, but still funny when encompassed in all that authentic environment and language.

Which brings us to the language. I had english subtitles, they were obviously before the actual speach, I've read them and did not even smile, heard it in romanian with all that swearing and the joke became funny as hell. I don't swear (except in english and when driving...) so vulgar language is not common to me but in this context it just made perfect sense.

I thoroughly enjoyed the prejudice, the language, the jokes. Would I watch it again, no, it was a relaxed, funny movie, but definitely no art work. It was just pure romanian fun and I absolutely stand by my rating.
