      Did Jerry Zucker watch it?

      Sure I'm wondering, but try to find out the great similarity between Asso and Ghost, and then consider that Asso dates back to 1981 and Ghost to 1990. Did Jerry Zucker ever watch this almost unknown italian film? Anyway, another really funny movie, if you like Celentano's particular sense of humor.

      Just another funny Celentano

      Well, i like adriano celentano a lot. and this film is made for him. i think he can´t act very well, he´s just always himself, like in grand hotel excelsior, or in his films with ornella muti, but i like his style, and it seems that in the early 80s, many people thought the same. if you don´t mind the sometimes stupid gags, i recommend this film to anybody who likes celentano. and: absolutely wonderful soundtrack.

      Amazing movie!

      I love this movie so much!! It's super funny and the plot is very cool. I guess I watched it a million times already and it's one of the best Adriano Celentano movies in my opinion.
