Garcea si oltenii

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.

Radu Pietreanu and Mugur Mihaescu are known in Romania from an TV Show, named 'Vacanta Mare', the source of inspiration for this movie. The TV Show is awful like the movie.

Mugur Mihaescu in transvestite role is not funny at all. The acting is also very poor.

See this movie ONLY you are an devotated fan of the show 'Vacanta Mare'.

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 =)) .

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 the BEST ROMANIAN MOVIE ever made!!! I laughed for 90 minutes non stop. It's impeccably well directed and it has that Hollywood magic touch. The plot is so unpredictable you can't get bored, and the actors are very good, especially Mugur who plays 2 characters and he transforms himself from stupid policeman into greedy peasant woman, and the roles fit him like a glove. I saw this movie in a theater and everybody was laughing and really enjoying all the gags. It has a lot of visual humor and it's not meant for dull people or for those who lost their sense of humor.

IT'S A COMEDY! The BEST Romanian one to date! Alexandra Mutu is just perfect (skin, make-up, clothes...she just sparkles) my favorite scene is a night scene with her and the stupid policeman(played by Mugur)... so perfectly directed...sweet and funny and also a little vulgar...I just could not stop laughing. CONGRATULATIONS to VACANTA MARE! Finally a breath of fresh air in the Romanian filmmaking business!

Guys you should go watch this movie if you haven't already! It's worth it!
