Regular...

Initially the film fulfills its objective, aversion and dislike for the marred protagonist and mainly for his friendships, he totally hates... The film follows a traditional cake recipe, but it doesn't captivate me, poor rebel suggests more pity than the badboys playboys.. But it was very realistic, unsatisfactory outcome, perhaps unfair, however realistic, it represents a lot of our wealthy and lacking in sense young people... Regular...

A home movie made for cinema.

Nothing really interesting here ... you can empathise with the main carachter only if you live the delusion of living a very stupid life.

Worth watching

This is not a movie you want to watch a second time:the plot is very simple and the psychological characterization is basic.However the story evolves very quickly and I didn't took my eyes off the screen through the whole movie.Andrea Carpenzano confirms to be one of the best young italian actors.

I like it

Watching it right now on RAI1 and I'm happily surprised. Yeah, the story is an amalgam of Hollywoodized basic ideas, like a reversal of Good Will Hunting with a touch of The Blind Spot. But still, this is as Italian as it gets.

Much as I was confused about the opening scenes and the basic logic of who is bearing with the spoiled star for what reason (there was more than a stretch there IMO) I liked the acceleration of mandatory introductions.

At one point, things began to fold out just too quickly, which is no problem in case they don't run out of material before getting to the end.

Predictability is the major issue with such productions. Well-shot, has the glitter, yet, we know what is going to happen at what phase.

For (European) football lovers

The movie itself is no different from many of the same kind: The smart rebel who's got almost everything but is an underdog in school and needs help basically growing up. The comparison with the older "Scialla" is almost immediate.

The perk of the movie stands in the football related background and in the Accorsi's character resulting a nice entertainment for a boring Sunday afternoon of a soccer-free summer.
