Garcea si oltenii

this is by far the best Romanian movie

Mugur Mihaescu plays incredible the two characters : Garcea , a funny but stupid cop , and Leana , who's married with Costel (bou cu basca) and has two childs Axinte and Lila . Her hobbies are drinking , drinking , and least but not the last drinking.

Radu petreanu plays also very good as Costel and the Russian colonel.

The characters are very original and funny , like the retarded childs(axinte&lila) or the governor of sadova city etc

This is a very spicy comedy , and I recommend it to everybody who wanna see a pretty good movie =)) .

An American director combined with VM humor: that should be the key to success.

Well, not a single chance. The plot is stupid, the scenario and the lines are equally annoying. One or two jokes are not enough for 1h30. Maybe I'm not the best jury for this movie (I'm bored to death by "Leana si Costel" series and I hope it will last less than "Santa Barbara" ;-).

However, simply because it's below the expectations is not a ground to consider it automatically the worst. I saw American movies supposed to be good because of directors, scenarists, actors and/or main characters and they were worse than this Garcea. We can afford it too.

That's mark 2!

After the popular song "dragostia din tei" I find out that Romanians are actually good at making movies too? Who remembers "Johnny English". It was a funny cliché of James Bond and it was extremely funny because of making funny of the established series. We all know other notable parodies. Now this Romanian movie here includes so many parodies that makes you laugh the whole movie. Nazis, cold war Russians, Japanese ninja and of course, James Bond try to get their hands on a magic stone that can destroy the world. With a touch of genius, here James bond is portrayed as a negative hero and the actual hero of the movie is a dumb Romanian policeman called Garcia. You have to see the parts where the policeman, out of crazy luck, wins some fierce fights. The guy is soooo funny! Also I think the same actor plays a woman at the same time. The woman seems pretty dumb too as well as her husband... I think this is the best parody I've seen; go and watch this DVD, you won'T regret it!!!

Man, don't even get me started...

I wanted to make the title "Don't buy this DVD" but I noticed there's no such thing as a link to either a DVD or a VHS at Amazon or anywhere, so until that lil'icon there turns from grey to full color, you're pretty much safe.

Should I start with the acting? Actually, I can't even say it's bad acting, cause there's no acting at all... Naw. This film doesn't even deserve a comment. It gives me a headache to even ponder what makes it so bad. The plot is so poor (if you've got at least half a brain), the acting so miserable and the cracks so stupid, it makes you think the writer (or writers) and director have spent the last few years in the loony bin and have a very different perception about what's funny or acceptable in a movie. And, before you ask, no: It's not the kind of it's-so-dumb-it's-kinda-funny-flick. It's bad, period. Real bad.

The only reason you would choose to see this, I figure, is if your sister was dating Steven Seagal and you wanted to somehow prove to yourself there are even worse filmmakers.

I am not a big fan of vacanta mare's humor. I much rather prefer divertis, but the movie itself is indeed not bad all things considered. It has been far too long since a straight romanian comedy was made. The director is american and this was definitely a plus. The trademark vacanta mare humor is toned down a few notches and the result is a spoof that is funny at times, hilarious at others and flat here and there. All in all it was above may expectations, and certainly better than the last few AMERICAN spoofs I've seen.
