Vieni avanti cretino

Simply THE BEST Banfi's movie! Highly recommended, even if the vhs is a bit hard to find. All the characters involved in this film will give you lots of fun, starting from Gigi Reder -R.I.P.-(the legendary Rag.Filini in the Fantozzi's saga), Franco Bracardi, and the awesome Alfonso Tomas, here in its all-times best performance!

Vieni avanti cretino is the masterpiece of Luciano Salice, considered the better comic flick with Lino Banfi, when you see that movie you will never stop to laugh! The film talk about the misfortune of the unlucky and unemployed Baudaffi Pasquale(Lino Banfi). Don't forget Alfonso Thomas in his best role!! Maybe the last good product of the Italian erotic-comedy! A must see for the fan of this genre!!! Unfortunately is not available in any format, check the TV in the late hour to catch him!

If you are not italian, you can't understand the high votes for this film......it's difficult to explain this success; in Italy 'Vieni avanti cretino' it's really a cult-movie, a must seen for my generation, one of the movies that everyone knows and loves... for example, I don't know how many times I talk 'bout this film with my friends with a good bottle of wine in my hands and a smile on my face... 'Vieni avanti cretino', 'Fantozzi', 'Lo chiamavano Trinità' and so on are probably 'technically' terrible films... but It doesn't matters... I'm sure that I'm not the only one that laughts at the quotation of this film and decides to give it a 10/10...

Lino Banfi reached the pinnacle of his acting career,as a comedian,in this robust comedy. The movie is very enjoyable from the very start.One of the film assets is Franco Bracardi.This often forgotten comedy genius is the perfect sidekick for Banfi; a perfect example of this special relationship is the scene where Bracardi mimes to Banfi, and the Apulian actor has to act in front of Bracardi's character wife.Overall a very good comedy that is up there with the likes of "Febbre da cavallo" and "Fracchia la belva umana".

Just saw it again after years, I laughed 'til tears !!! Brilliant, Luciano Salce is a great director, Lino Banfi has never been so funny...the story is simple but this is a MUST !!! The coffe scene, Dr.Thomas and so on are things that just make all laugh whenever you start remembering, and most of the quotes are now common use in Italian language. I'm going to have a party with my friends, of course this and "L'allenatore nel pallone"(another great Banfi movie) are the main course !!!

Ciao

P.S. Of course you should be 30 or above to lnow and appreciate it, every generation has their myths...
