I Hate Summer

I love Italian cinema and I couldn't but like this one too.

Emotional, funny, relatable (at least to me), a very simple movie, a very simple story about people and their relationships; magnifico.

An idea you could build on but everything fails. Note even one single funny moment, unlikeable characters, annoying scenes. I hoped for a pleasant italian holiday atmosphere at least but there is way too little of it.

Current and fun movie. It shows the way young people today are doing, too tied to technology and far from real relationships. The comedy of the comedy trio is always very welcome. Film showing that the relationships of family and friends are very important.

A few years after the not so succesfull experiment of "Fuga da Reuma Park", after the celebrations for 25 years of activity together and after Aldo Baglio had started working alone (that seemed to be the beginning of the end of the Trio), here they go with a surprise new film, bringing the three guys back in the wake of a solid and mature comedy, which gets to speak to the hearts of old fans but maybe also able to conquer new ones. Certainly a bittersweet reflection on the passing of time and the risk of forgetting who we are, the story well written, funny and at times even moving, The film features three unexpectedly excellent first ladies, perfectly at ease in their meeting with Aldo Giovanni and Giacomo as well as the return of their historic director, who still knows how to make the most of their potential.

When famous Italian comedians don't write their own new jokes and use someone else's screenplay, usually a pre-packed product which always work for families is sappy stories, forcibly imposing affection, tears, "bonding together" and discovering true friends. These are the cards... job done. Neeeeeext. But wasn't it supposed to be funny?
