    awful

    I suppose, a comedy. And few nice intentions. And good actors. And that is all. The basic sin, it can be, in extremis , a portrait of an Italian family. But not a Polish one. The cliches are awful and ridiculous. For each Polish person, it represents an injury. Sure, good intentions and few not so bad scenes. But not enough for be more than a bad parody. The regret - a so cast deserves a better script.
