Tre uomini e una gamba

From the beggining the movie takes a cooky turn with and "Italian" explanation of the JFK murder, follwed by humour that is fun, witty, and at times charming. Though I do not recommend this film to people who have not been exposed to italian culture, and speak the language, the film itslef is a breath of fresh air to come out of Italy.

As a recent Italian emigrant, I was able to fully enjoy this wonderful, sunny movie that has brought back to mind a lot of innuendos and down-to-earth jokes that, certainly, are not meant to be racist: quite the opposite, actually: every joke is firmly tongue-in-cheek.

The authors-actors also dare to play themselves, using their real names: this allows them to freely play with several styles of direction, always from their point of view, which somebody may define iconoclastic. The truth - in my personal opinion - is that they have full confidence in their own sense of humour and thus they have created a homage to more serious movie genres - from neorealism, to westerns, to 50's horror.

This is like Carl Barks when painting with oil: using a formal medium to portray less serious things.

It's a rare kind of humor, very nice! The problem is that is just in Italian, and even if it was in english it's not possible to taste Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo's speeches in other languages than their own ones. :)

One evening I had nothing to do and the worse thing there was nothing on TV but one Italian movie ...

I love Italy and their ways. The three of them are just awesome and I agree with previous comments, that if you don't know nothing about Italy it will be very hard for you to get the joke. But if a man saw Godfathers, Robert de Niro movies, some european or better non Hollywood production it shouldn't be the problem.

AYEYE BRAZZO ...

Nevertheless, 10 of 10 points for the Gamba.

This movie was a hilarious movie if you understand the Italian language and culture! If you are merely watching it and relying on the subtitles you will not find it as funny since a lot is lost in the translation. I sat watching this movie with some friends and I was howling! They were sitting there just starring at me wondering what I found so funny. The difference between them and I....I understand the language and they don't! So if you have a friend that can translate it for you correctly then I say go for it, you will find that you will get some laughs in! The actors chosen to play each role were a good choice.....they all feed off of each other and this makes the movie even more better.

So if you have an understanding of the language then this is a funny movie to watch!
