When a man fires a hotel maid for stealing, the woman's son gets his revenge.
Carlo Verdone once managed to combine superb comedy with smart and subtle social analysis and criticism.
Then something happened, and he turned into just another dull "holier-than-thou" director.
Il Mio Miglior Nemico can more or less be summarized in one line "working class = kind and warm, while upper-class = snob and devious. But love wins in the end".
Such a trite clichè for such a smart director.
There isn't really too much to talk about in the movie. Every character is a walking stereotype: the self-made-man who forgets his roots but who'll become "good" again, the scorned wife, the rebellious rich girl who falls for the honest-but-poor guy... Acting is barely average.
Severely disappointing under every aspect.
