Reviews

beatabeatrix What a surprise - a genuinely funny movie to come out of Italy. Reluctantly, I watched this thinking it would be your average ho hum euro comedy, but I was totally taken aback at how laugh out loud funny this is. The three leads, Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo remind me of the Marx brothers in their timing and togetherness. Even if you don't understand Italian you will enjoy it - especially the opening sequence, Killer, which should be renowned as a classic globally. The spoof horror Gothic film is also a surprise with a southern Italian Dracula comes upon a tavern occupied by "Transylvanian Leaguists", who decide that he's not one of them (inspired in how it plays upon the notion of small town persecution of the monster in horror flicks). The three comedians are given excellent support by the cute Marina Massironi as Chiara, whom they meet along the way.

Rahuta I saw this movie by accident, the local news paper made a mistake in the listings but by the time my two mates and I had driven out, found a park and walked to the movie theatre we didn't want to turn around and go home without watching anything. Despite the fact that the three of us would struggle to turn up a single Italian word between us we all laughed ourselves silly through the subtitles and decided that this movie is an absolute ripsnorter of a film that any aspiring comedy writer can and should learn from.

priapo Nobody thought the first film of the three comedians could be so amusing and technically good. Nobody thought three comedians coming from TV can make film so well. In my opinion this film reaches peaks that remind Tarantino (!).If we add to this that the humor of this trio is irresistible we have one of the greatest Italian films of '90s. I love it.

Irbis The three (four with Mrs. Massironi) best actor-comedians in the Italian performing arts scene decided to make a movie. And it is a blessing. It is just as if you were at one of their live performances: exhilarating. It almost work as a movie (and not only as an excuse for the trio to perform), and the additional possibilities of the new media are used (along with their performance and excellent lines) to create more and more fun.
