Mirciulica

The movie feels literally like a longer and maybe better video quality of a random youtube sketch. The ideas of the characters were thought with no originality at all, everything is very stereotypical. Story line is very weak and it feels like this movie was thought in a weekend. The only reason this movie sells is because of the fame the youtuber and the grandmother has, no one should watch this movie otherwise. I normally wouldn't leave a cinema movie because i always want to give a chance to any movie and finish it until the end, but after finishing it i felt more blank than before, there is no important meaning or message this movie can deliver.

I think that all Romanians should see this movie. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I was truly impressed with the direction of the movie. Both adults and children will laugh a lot and enjoy it.

It is not a perfect movie, it has it's hiccups but there are no major issues. The acting is good, the characters are lovely and overall the storyline is believable. The main character has to face the real life and needs to make some tough decisions. The length of the movie is just right, I didn't even realise how the time passed.

It could've been just another cheap comedy but it was much more than that, good job :)

It was nice, but I expected more humor. His youtube videos are much better made. The actors were also a bit tense...as if they were for the first time in front of the cameras.

The most authentic and relaxed character was the boss. In the scene with Aurel Tamas, he exaggerated a bit and moved in an agitated mess... he should have slowed down a bit because it is assumed that he was a bit drunk.

The Gramdma offered authentic comedy like on youtube videos and she had great scenes.

But overall it was acceptable. I hope that the next film with the Wedding will be more professional and more natural.

Many people say bad things about this kind of material but they forget there's ''Entertainment material'' and ''Artistic Cinema'' in the World. This film made money because the creator has a large following on social media in Romania. I don't think it was intended to impress artistically. You don't see superhero movies winning Oscars. The same concept applies here with Mirciulica. And the same concept applied to ''Miami Bici'' and ''Teambuilding'' movies in Romania. So it is futile to comment on these kinds of material like it was supposed to be real Cinema. Real Cinema costs money and it is made by studied and seasoned artists.

I think the essence of the movie plot is related to the hard times Romania was offering to its youngsters 15 years ago or more. Lots of places where mediocrity prevailed or meritocracy was something to dream of. As a youngster, you could look weird because you were thinking healthy. Or you could get appreciated but kept somewhere aside as a nice guy, not being able to make an impact and change things. Now we are living in other times. For people not living those times I imagine this movie makes less sense.

Now, how good was the movie in expressing artistically those times or how funny, that's a different story.

I think it looked as made by begineers. Characters could have been better shaped, better played, jokes could have been better, the image overall could have been better. Even if made by, let's say begineers, the movie could have been better by allocating more time to make it.

However, I am happy that Mircea (Bravo) made the movie, going past the youtube sketches and I hope they will get better and better. That's the bottom line.
