This movie is veeeeery average. Plot and direction are of very low quality, the music and graphics are good, but the film never comes together. It's boring and pretentious with very little to offer. Still it will be liked by some because of the cgi and soundtrack. But look at the caracters, take the revolutionnary for instance, the film gets ridiculous. If they had spent a fraction of their time, energy and money to make a better story, we would have a better film. They didn't so we're stuck with another vain showoff of the wonders of computer images. It's difficult to say witch one was worse, final fantasy or this one...

Great actors, in first and second roles, and good dialogue is what made the greek sixties comedies so great, despite basic directing, and mostly standard plots and messages. Here we have Alekos Alexandrakis, as the jeune premier who must put order in the crazy family of his new capricious wife, jenny Karezi, whose dad (Dionysis Papagianopoulos)let's himself carried away by his wife's crazy whims (a delirious performance by Mary Aroni, in the films she is most remembered for).

i wonder how an unsuspected viewer would react to this movie.. for example to the blatantly traditionalist view of family. Let's say for exemple when Dionyssis Papagianopoulos, hits Mary Aroni and it turns out she likes it. Yet this movie is so funny... well if you seen it and aren't greek in origin let me know.

A cast of first-rate actors and good dialogue make this movie shine, oh, and the courtroom scene is one of the funniest in greek film history. Aliki Voygioyklaki, the national star of the sixties, lends her friend, Maro Kodou her car so she may go with her boyfriend to the sea. Only she damages the car, and this leads to a series of misunderstandings.
