Chlopaki nie placza

I'm a great fan of polish cinematography, although I have to watch all these movies subtitled. However, I was told that "Chlopaki nie placza" is the worst movie ever. I've seen it, and I have to say: One of the most hilarious movies ever made! I can promise you will find this film amusing, when you'll see 'Laska' coming home, reminiscing his dad or 'Grucha' wearing his pink sweater and falling in love with the prostitute. Many people may have a lot of criticisms about this film; that it shows a very silly story or that it is a copy of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction". Well maybe it is. But it definitely works for this film. MUST BE SEEN!!!

The plot line is familiar: nice young guys get involved with prostitutes and gangsters, rough and tumble action follows but with a lighthearted touch, and all ends well. While derivative of RISKY BUSINESS and rougher, more recent fare from Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, this movie has a touch that is all its own. I'm not Polish and don't speak the language, so I'm sure I miss a lot of the jokes, but on its subtitled face this movie still exerts a certain charm; it seems to be more than the sum of its parts, and left me feeling oddly elated.

Ostensibly the hero is Maciej Stuhr as the music student, and the meatiest role goes to Cezary Pazura as the gangster, but to me the heart of the film is Michal Milowicz as the bumbling son of the mafia boss, a wanna-be tough guy who hides his dachshund from the real tough guys, who expect a pit bull; I'll be watching for more of his movies.

One of the best comedies of the late 90s. It is a satirical look at the gangsters of Poland and some teens who get into a mess with them. The humour is black, sometimes vulgar, and always hilarious. There are some "inside jokes" here that are not so simple to understand outside of Poland, however most of the humour is universal. Most of the actors belong to the new generation of Polish actors, and all of them are very talented.

i got a DVD , start watching at 10Am and .. finish at 3PM !!! i had to pause ... because of crying myself ..

of course the polish V.O. is a Perle ! characters are hilarious ! music Is gorgeous ! what else ...? .. the best polish comedy i ever seen (since Rejs) waiting for others comments ...

especially from people who don't understand polish ..

the film is a co-prod polish & french ...

myself i saw other polish comedy "Wesele" who is close to the concept of "Boys don't cry" ...

does somebody saw other polish comedy like that ???

This is really great movie, but to get every single joke one must not only remember "Pulp Fiction" well (and other classic movies), but also be a Pole, or at least live in Poland for a few years :-). But it's worth seen, if I give this movie 10, for a foreigner it'll be at least 8.
