Notte prima degli esami - Oggi

To start, let me firstly inform you that I speak very little Italian. I'm an Australian exchange student staying with a family in Northern Italy (ha, I swear every second word I've heard within the entirety of Italy is 'cazzo'). Anyway, I attended this film with my host families son and couple of his friends. Despite speaking very little Italian I can confidently say that I understood this film completely and could understand fully what each character was communicating to each other through their tones and actions. I have to say that I found this film to really be nothing special as I have seen these situations in both American, European and Australian films before. I feel that although this film was a crowd pleaser (epspecially within the slapstick moments)it is essentially a one-in-a-million film and it will surely fade into obscurity. Of course it would be pointless of me to make a firm comment on the quality of the dialogue (considering I had nil understanding of it) but from gauging the cinema audiences' reactions as well as the characters' annotations it was easy enough to be able to guess that the comedy of this piece is more face deep then anything and that witty writing was not particular within this movie. Having said that I didn't find the movie boring despite a lack of comprehension of the dialogue and can honestly say there were enough visual sight gags to keep me entertained. It could be argued that my lack of understanding could be considered an advantage in some aspects as it allowed me to escape the inevitable cheesy patches of dialogue and jokes that I'm sure would have been present.

As I said before, while this film makes an ideal light comedy for teens and above, I didn't find this movie to be anything special or as anything that would be particularly remembered.

It's basically a bad copy of the first movie, with less witty jokes, much more superficial, not nicely made. Maybe they thought with more boobs and naked girls they could make a better one, well not the case.

Help, I need somebody, I've just seen a waste of time and human work and I'm still incredulous. The freshness and grace of the first installment is gone: the desire of repeating the exorbitant result at the box-office must have been so strong that screenwriters, producers and director haven't put any care in it, and watching the movie you can see it. I don't know how to explain myself, but all that I've just seen is banal, ridiculous and shallow, or maybe is simply our age's mirror. The first chapter was all about the school (from which the most hilarious scenes were developed), the true and strong friendship between the characters and the pure love. Now everything shrinks to a question of sex, lays, nude women, husbands cheating on wives and so on. I'm not puritan, but if I want to watch a movie about sex problems, surely I'll choose other features, not this crap, in which the actors are painful, too. And, to help the whole thing, there are The Finley singing in English in the soundtrack. I can save only the setting in Rome, who's so beautiful that it looks gorgeous even in the worst pictures.

I don't know why I have to write this review in English because it's a Italian film. 🎥

I like this sequel but i prefer the first one.

I wasn't expecting a masterpiece when I went to watch this movie. But since the previous one is a really nice movie, funny, light, original and really well done, I was expecting definitely more from this second one! The stories are very predictable and with foregone solution. The characters have the same roles as in the first one, the stories are exactly the same! The only difference is the time of the setting, 2006 instead of the 80's. One thing that really surprised me it's the amount of meaningless nude scenes inside the movie... I mean, it's a pleasure for a men to watch naked women =) But it seemed to me that they ruined this movie further on. Compared to the first one, this movie lost the freshness and the originality. Of course it makes you laugh, but it's a movie as many others, an American Pie style movie... Another Cinepanettone
