Garcea si oltenii

An American director combined with VM humor: that should be the key to success.

Well, not a single chance. The plot is stupid, the scenario and the lines are equally annoying. One or two jokes are not enough for 1h30. Maybe I'm not the best jury for this movie (I'm bored to death by "Leana si Costel" series and I hope it will last less than "Santa Barbara" ;-).

However, simply because it's below the expectations is not a ground to consider it automatically the worst. I saw American movies supposed to be good because of directors, scenarists, actors and/or main characters and they were worse than this Garcea. We can afford it too.

That's mark 2!

Man, don't even get me started...

I wanted to make the title "Don't buy this DVD" but I noticed there's no such thing as a link to either a DVD or a VHS at Amazon or anywhere, so until that lil'icon there turns from grey to full color, you're pretty much safe.

Should I start with the acting? Actually, I can't even say it's bad acting, cause there's no acting at all... Naw. This film doesn't even deserve a comment. It gives me a headache to even ponder what makes it so bad. The plot is so poor (if you've got at least half a brain), the acting so miserable and the cracks so stupid, it makes you think the writer (or writers) and director have spent the last few years in the loony bin and have a very different perception about what's funny or acceptable in a movie. And, before you ask, no: It's not the kind of it's-so-dumb-it's-kinda-funny-flick. It's bad, period. Real bad.

The only reason you would choose to see this, I figure, is if your sister was dating Steven Seagal and you wanted to somehow prove to yourself there are even worse filmmakers.

I am not a big fan of vacanta mare's humor. I much rather prefer divertis, but the movie itself is indeed not bad all things considered. It has been far too long since a straight romanian comedy was made. The director is american and this was definitely a plus. The trademark vacanta mare humor is toned down a few notches and the result is a spoof that is funny at times, hilarious at others and flat here and there. All in all it was above may expectations, and certainly better than the last few AMERICAN spoofs I've seen.

this is by far the best Romanian movie

Mugur Mihaescu plays incredible the two characters : Garcea , a funny but stupid cop , and Leana , who's married with Costel (bou cu basca) and has two childs Axinte and Lila . Her hobbies are drinking , drinking , and least but not the last drinking.

Radu petreanu plays also very good as Costel and the Russian colonel.

The characters are very original and funny , like the retarded childs(axinte&lila) or the governor of sadova city etc

This is a very spicy comedy , and I recommend it to everybody who wanna see a pretty good movie =)) .

This is what I call a move made for fun. There's nothing serious about it. But there's some very good reasons why anyone should see it:

1. The plot is crazy and very good (though not really original) 2. The movie is beautifully directed by Sam Irvin. 3. The characters are funny as hell. 4. And last, but NOT least, there is an incredibly beautiful blonde in this movie, Alexandra Mutu. She is awesome, really.

I think these reasons are enough for anyone to watch this movie. For it is just better than so many comedies out there.
