Bas Rutten from Eindhoven, Holland, didn't get the point at all. Yes, this film was unsophisticated and full of stereotypes - it was méant to be! If you can't see that, then you're like the people in the film that were ridiculed themselves. I really laughed my tears out at this one, and hey, I don't lack subtleties. The story is so over the top in demonstrating the total unadaptedness of this family, it's a real achievement. Although it's clear that it imitates Brutti, sporchi e cattivi, all the same it's got a uniqueness of its own. The films (there are three of them) and the series have been, and still are, very popular in Holland; they wouldn't be if they were bad. The actors all did a splendid job and so the director himself, who also wrote the story and the music, did. I wish the commentaries here would more often be given by people who are entitled to speak about the level of movies, and not by blunt arrogants that try to make an impression in lowering other people's achievements.
