Mayday

For sure one of the sharpest and funniest Polish movies in last 30 years. Brilliant screenplay based on Roy Cooney's play with the same title. I almost could not stop laughing the whole movie. Of course you may feel that you have seen some scenes before in other movies, but please believe, this is based on 1983 play, so this is an original! Well played! Strong 9.

Watched this on Netflix the other day and I'm truly disappointed. It doesn't matter if the film is based on a play or is an original production. It's bad. Period. Exaggerated acting, bursting with facial expressions and emotions like in some sorta cartoon. Indeed, it is humor for six-year-olds. Illogical, oversimplified, childish punchlines everywhere. Watching this film was detrimental to my intelligence. Frankly, even such a simple thing as understanding the dialogues IN MY NATIVE LANGUAGE was difficult due to a terrible quality of sound, which Polish movies are infamous for since the 1980s. Even worse than that were all the scenes of men being humiliated or beaten by females. According to the film, being kicked in the crotch by your wife is really funny! Ugh, I cannot stand it!
