Teambuilding

In my book comedies fall in two categories: those which makes you smile and those which makes you laugh. Teambuilding is in the latter.

Yes, some jokes are gross, some jokes are cheap, but for sure they makes you laugh. If you can't laugh at this movie, it means you can't laugh at stand up comedy and it means you are a really sad person. In this case I beg you read "Povestea pulei" by Ion Cranga. It should be funny, if is not please go to a psychiatrist.

Sound is ok, the image is decent (don't expect outstanding cinematography). Some actors didn't make a very good job, but this is not a problem because you can laugh of this too. It isn't a realist film and you shouldn't expect realism, but exaggeration and fun.

What remains beyond laughter is the satire. A satire of corporate spirit, of HR bossing around, of drinking too much, of senseless sex, of being dishonest with yourself, of putting labels to others, of indifference, of servilism, of politically corectness and many others.

Kind reminder!

I see it more as a parody(satire) than a comedy per say. If you expect a comedy, you'll be dissapointed, but if you understand the genre of the movie, that this is a mockery of the corporate clichees, tropes, and doublespeak you'll get the right value of the movie.

I believe the actors didn't play badly, they played well for a parody, exagerating some of the reactions. I know some of they actors from other movies, known for goood acting, they played bad on purpose, their "bad acting" is good acting showing "bad acting" and fakeness& hypocrisy happening in everyday corporate life.

I only give it an 8 because there is some unnecessary profanity.

Supposing that most of the viewers will be Romanians, in general, we tend to be too harsh and critical with accomplishments of other Romanian fellows.

My humor level and expectations are pretty high and, when I heard about another Romanian movie, I rolled my eyes expecting a low quality and no but surprisingly, I laughed a lot and the gigs were quite good. I see a lot of negative comments and I only think that Romanians will be Romanians: proud of anything that never put effort or contribution (look up any successful athletes, tennis sportsmen and women, swimmers etc) and jealous and genuinely mean towards any hard working, talented Romanians that are really doing something.

So please ignore them and enjoy your success! Bravo! Keep up the good work!

I had really low expectations after many negative reviews seen. But it was actually a really decent comedy to watch on a Friday night. Even if being decent, is one of the best comedies in Romania from the last 3 decades. The problem is that the plot happens around the "corporation environment" which, ironically and sad, is still new for romanian public which has a big part of the public nostalgic after communist times and working for "the state".

Some really smart jokes, taboo topics that should be talked more in Romania, general corporation jokes. Take a pizza, a beer, and relax. You will not laugh your eyes out, but you will smile most of the movie.

A complete mess that adds together the full range of romanian social, regional and national stereotypes with some corporatist ones. On top of that the "comedy" offers a unnecessary vulgar language which is not at all a reality of the local society.

It offers also a catch for the male audience, bringing some female models as "actors" to play the roles of the Moldavian Team.

It also serves the viewer with product placement for on-line gaming services and alcohol which seems to be a pillar of the "story".

The actors performance is at amateur level at best.

I am not a purist but this movie is a waste.
