J'arrête quand je veux

A film that innovates, finally after stale years, the Italian comedy genre, bringing into focus the up-to-date themes of drugs and the alleged uselessness of a college degree in Italy.

A group of old friends, former university professors, unite to produce a new type of legal drug: each one, with his knowledge, contributes to the success of the plan; carried out, it turns their boring lives around out of the blue.

Fast-paced and enjoyable, ''Smetto quando voglio'' succeeds, with an exceptional cast, in the arduous task of reconciling the crime and comedy genres, without coming across as the usual trash "cinepanettone". However, there is no shortage of clichés, the music is not the best and in the end the plot is not that innovative, leaving aside the aforementioned premise.

It remains a great film, which is quickly watched and which entertains and amuses, with a project that should definitely be seen more in Italy.

Giallo, Flavum, Yellow, Kiiro, Gul, Amarillo, Amarelo, Jaime, Gelb, Zhovtyy, Kítrinos, Nolang, Haluda, Groc, Galben, Peela, Gel.

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.

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.

First I watched Smetto Quando Voglio followed by Smetto Quando Voglio: Ad Honorem. I thought there were only two so I made a mistake as Smetto Quando Voglio: Masterclass is between these two movies. But it didn't really matter as every movie has its own story. I thought this movie was the best of the two I watched. A better plot, better acting even though most of the actors played in the two movies, in this movie they just acted better. I wouldn't say there are hilarious scenes in this movie, it doesn't look like a comedy to me, but it's entertaining. After watching two and missing one I don't really need to watch the one that I missed, maybe that says enough.

This must be the best Italian comedy of the last few years... Authentic and thought-provoking portrait of the socioeconomic impasse of that wonderful country and its newest generation of "adults". Hysterical gags and great acting. At long last, Italy reconnects with its greatest form of art - laughing at its own miseries and the whimsical ways they require to be overcome. "L'arte di arrangiarsi" (the art of getting by) over a draconian, timeless, ever-obstructing, complacently ignorant State will never cease to gift every generation with the Italian art of David and Goliath storytelling. Brilliant script, great technical quality..a must see!
