eccezzziunale...but not as "eccezzziunale" as the first movie

[EmmeBi · 2/10 · 2 February 2006]

Abatantuono is back with another "eccezzziunale" movie. three supporters of three different teams of the Italian "serie A" live incredible adventures.a supporter of Milan comes back home from Ibiza just to watch his team, a supporter of Inter runs into 150.000 euros just before the derby, and a supporter of juventus gets over a coma which lasted 15 years without remembering anything of his past life. all the main characters will have to face their problems and to overcome many hard obstacles they will find on their way. insane and definitely funny. but what is missing is the originality which made great the first film. anyway it is worth watching, no doubt about it.

Sir Goth

This movie is not at the same level of first Eccezzziunale... but we can burst into laughter again!

The first "Eccezzziunale... veramente", a 1982 low-budget movie, became a cult for Italian comedy fans: the ingredients were a soccer-based plot and the Abatantuono crazy slang, something like a exaggerate southern Italian slang; Abatantuono is actually a southern man grown up in North Italy and he is actually a Milan soccer club fan. For this second chapter Abatantuono and Vanzina brothers try to reply the success with the same ingredients. The plot is based on the situations of the 1982 movie and related movies, like "L'albitro, il tifoso e il calciatore"; they drawn on the great comedy "Letto a tre piazze" too. Abatantuono plays again the three different characters: a Juventus, a Milan and a Inter soccer club fan. If you can't understand very well Italian, you can't enjoy the Juve fan and the Milan fan slang; the same for Anna Maria Barbera character slang. If you like to hear the different ways to talk in Italian you can enjoy Napoletano, Ciociaro, Milanese, Leccese, Messinese, Palermitano dialect and a little of Veneto and Romano. Very nice Italian landscape are shown. Puglia, where Tirzan lives, is a Italian region rarely shown in movies. Some Milan soccer players appear as their self in the movie: Dida, Costacurta, Shevchenko, "Ringhio" (the growl) Gattuso and Maldini. The former Juve president, now Ferrari president, Montezemolo appears for an instant too. The advertising of a telephone company that sponsored the movie is a very bad thing. Unfortunately the movie has not a good rhythm and the Inter fan story end is faint.
