    You need to be in the right mood

    This film is so bad that it has become a cult in Italy. You just need to remember that to fully appreciate it you need to watch it with many friends, and most important NOT in a sober state. Remarkable are the baby stroller scene, the desperation in Alessandro when his friend dies, and the bar scene.

    It's truly a masterpiece. There's even a character acted by Orso Maria Guerrini, the famous testimonial of an Italian beer. The movie has been seen in theaters by ONLY 597 PEOPLE, but it has become a must-have in every home collection.

    If you want to really surprise your friend with an unexpected movie choice, you now know what you have to do. You just need to search this movie NOW because it's not easy to find anywhere. I really dunno why.

    One of the funniest things on the planet

    This film is to be watched at least once in a lifetime. The film makes you laugh at the lowest quality it has, it's all bad from the script, to the directing and the acting. There are some moments that should be serious and instead make you laugh an exaggeration.

    Don' t watch this movie !!!!!

    Your brain will be grateful towards you. The acting 's terrible and Orso Maria Guerrini' s talent has been misused . What else could I write? Michelle Hunziker? She has a beautiful pair of legs, but nothing else. As for Alberto Tomba, well his surname in English means grave, so he'd better act in a B-horror movie

    Wonderful sample of trash

    I've recently watched this movie, in a lazy Sunday afternoon, with some friend of mine and we have a lot of fun! This movie is a masterpiece of trash. Try to watch it with this purpose! It hadn't been expected, of course, but the performance provided by the actors (and Alberto Tomba is absolutely the best), the weak script and the low-cost budget had created an amazing mix of foolish things. Tomba was just retired from alpine ski racing, where he was a dominant technical skier in the late 1980s and 1990s. Tomba won three Olympic gold medals, two World Championships, and nine World Cup season titles. Seriously about the director: nobody knows why Damiano Damiani he has signed this movie. All the other Damiani's directions are considerable.

    Scandalously bad movie.

    This movie was exactly what I expected it to be when i first read the casting. I probably could have written a more exciting plot, it's a pity that they left it to a pack of Howler Monkeys. Alberto Tomba was surely a good skier but he has to thank God (and we too) that he does not have to rely on his actor skills to earn his living. He can't play, he can't talk, he can't even move very good on mainland without his skis... Michelle Hunziker is a pretty blonde girl, and that's all. She obviously wasn't chosen for her astounding competence in dramatic roles but most probably for her nice legs. Nevertheless I must admit that she could be the Tomba's acting teacher, because he's even a worse actor than her, and that's funny, especially considering that she isn't italian. I laughed all the time, watching this movie. I found it so ridiculous and meaningless that it actually made me laugh, loud, very loud.
