User Reviews

A good Romanian comedy

I found this movie quite good and is a nice performance of the Romanian cinematography. I was surprised to find different humour styles, more than one could expect after seeing the show "Vacanta Mare" (since most of the characters are borrowed from there). In this movie, both Mugur Mihaiescu and Radu Pietreanu recreate (ofcourse by highlighting and potentiating) the way some families lieve in Romania and what their mentalities are, for example: the scene with the barbecue on the green space in the hart of the city where no one seem to have a problem with the smoke, cars, noise, etc.; the scene when she throws the soup out of the window; the way gypsy clans built their houses and how they do not care about the laws, and so on. Another thing that I really enjoyed is the music. It was amazingly good, combining the traditional music with 'manele' and with the modern techno and so covering almost the whole spectrum one can find in Romania. The the characters are all different and all are quite funny. This sometimes reminds of Mr. Bean's or Adam Sandler's movies. I found it really relaxing and entertaining.
