SO SILLY SO ITALIAN

As Italian I feel a bit offended by the "SO ITALIAN SO SILLY" comment. Fact: anyone has the right to express freely! Fact: respect must be at the basis of any comment! I enjoyed Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo in this movie, and in many others, but a lot of friends of mine (so silly and so Italian, too) did not.

I wonder how's it possible? They are Italian so genetically they must like it! Or at least this is how "Mister or Miss X from Sydney Australia" thinks! it's a comedy! I found it funny, entertaining, the soundtrack fantastic (soooo Italian!), but anyway you can love it, enjoy it, hate it, ignore it... it's not a problem, but please comment the movie, not the people. Generalization is synonym for ignorance, as far as I see! I really hope you read this! RESPECT! ALWAYS! IN ANY CASE! Tks

Golden age of Aldo Giovanni e Giacomo

Once again, a funny and smart comedy from Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo. They never reached again the level of Three Men and a Leg, but still this is an hilarious movie, funny and sad at the same time. Highly recommended

Very silly, very Italian

If you enjoyed "Life is Beautiful" last year, I suppose you might like this, but it's really aimed at Italian audiences who seem to like contrived so-called comedies about innocents and incompetents. I found this story of three male actors, and their inability to get anything together in their lives, infantile and (worse) boring, but the Italians in the audience lapped it up. Be warned: if your idea of entertainment doesn't include adults behaving like five year olds, stay away from this movie!

Three friends separate, but...

A sweet comedy, different from every other movie by Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo. They've abandoned their funny but a bit old gags, and they succeeded in making a movie. The story is quite simple. Three friends come to fight about a girl. They're all actors or "something similar"... and their fight destroys also their first chance of playing in a piece. But what happens if one of them is meant to have only a few days left to live? Well done, well played, great laughs, some tears...

pleasant surprise

chiedimi se sono felici has been a very pleasant surprise to me. it's a very good comedy, of a very smart humor, reviewing a dramatic situation that maybe everyone has been through. it's very funny without being silly or stupid, and without loosing the dramatic and sad part of live. even in that, it's very diferent from "la vitta e bella".
