It is a well thought mokery of the political system of România (although it can be extrapolated to many other countries). Having it released during the middle of elections across Europe it is a strike of genius. Well worth the time if you wish to enjoy a good comedy, many smart jokes and dome very charming characters with a rather good story. Go watch it if you're looking for a more modern and up to date take on what the romanian cinematography and comedy means and to have a better overview of what politics mean nowadays. Despite its effort some jokes still fall flat as they are rather subtle and nuanced.
There's nothing to see here. The same tired, untalented Romanian actors play the same roles they've been playing since they started in film. And they do it just as poorly as before. Nothing in this movie is original, everything is copied from elsewhere. Anyone who watches the series Las Fierbinti will recognize in this film all the jokes copied from the show, performed in an even more pathetic and talentless way than the Las Fierbinti actors do. I don't understand how people who went to acting school and have played in so many films still find themselves in this amateurish position.
Score: -100, both for the script and for the second-rate actors.

Title: An Absolute Disaster - A Movie That Shouldn't Exist
I have seen some bad movies in my life, but this one? This was a new level of awful. Every single aspect of it was a complete failure - from the writing to the acting, the direction, the pacing, and even the sound design. It felt like a group of amateurs got together and decided to make a movie without any knowledge of filmmaking.
The script was a mess, filled with cringe-worthy dialogue and plot holes big enough to drive a truck through. The characters were lifeless, and their motivations made no sense. The actors looked like they were either sleepwalking or overacting to the point of comedy - except the movie wasn't supposed to be funny.
Visually, it was a nightmare. The cinematography was either painfully dull or trying too hard to be "artistic" in the worst way possible. The special effects (if you can call them that) were laughable, looking like something out of a cheap 90s video game. And the editing? Choppy, inconsistent, and headache-inducing.
The pacing was torture. It dragged in all the wrong places, yet somehow rushed through moments that were supposed to matter. By the time the credits rolled, I felt like I had just wasted precious hours of my life that I would never get back.
Overall, this film is an insult to cinema. It's not even "so bad it's good"-it's just bad. Avoid it at all costs unless you enjoy suffering.

This movie is a complete disaster. The humor relies entirely on excessive swearing, crude gestures, and childish jokes, with no subtlety whatsoever. Even worse, the film feels the need to explain its already simplistic jokes, which seem aimed at a very young audience. At best, there are only three or four genuinely funny moments throughout.
The characters, storyline, and dialogue are painfully predictable, giving the impression that the script was written by a child. While the filmmakers may claim this is the kind of content Romanian audiences enjoy, I have yet to meet anyone who actually liked it. I strongly recommend not wasting your time on this film.

I went to watch the movie with high hopes thinking I will see a smart satire of the political class - as they are providing tons of great material unfortunately. The script is really poor. Nothing funny. Bad language. Good actors playing in a really really bad movie. Jojo has played well, but, with the right script, she could have shined.
I was wondering how this movie was released so close to Romanian presidenti elections without a problem. Now is clear to me. It's a very poor comedy, not a satire, made for people with low IQ. You should keep kids away from this movie! A BIG dissapointment!!
