Fantozzi contro tutti (1980) User Reviews

Fantozzi will always make you laugh

One of the few real great Italian comedians. Fantozzi's character has marked the history of Italian cinema above all. These films are timeless and will always make people laugh.

Good Old school comedy

I started watching "Fantozzi" series, from 1990, on cable, on Italia 1. For me and others like me( early 40s), this type of comedy is funny. ( I am from Romania ; we lived under comunism regime for decades). There are some situations where I laughed so hard. I remember I was watching the movie, on tv, and the next day, me and some of my friends were re-enacting parts of the movie. Those were the days...... But, unfortunately, the new generation, does not get this type of humor. Is sad, but most of them don't even konw what a land line telephone is.

Nice

Here, in former USSR, Fantozzi movies are relatively well-known and shown on TV often. It's not a masterpiece, it's a simple comedy made by Italians for Italians but occasionally it achieved some international acclaim; many nations have such ones, for example, in former USSR comedies about Shurik adventures ("Operation Y and Other Shurik's Adventures", "Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik's New Adventures", "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes Occupation") are cult classic, but not well-known abroad. As for Fantozzi movies - they are very funny sometimes, sometimes silly, but generally good. This satire makes me feel sorry for poor Fantozzi and his poor family (especially his poor daughter), I think it's too pessimistic.

Of course, it's much better than most of modern American comedies made by Americans for Americans, which can be seen on our screens because of their big budget (of course, I don't mean Woody Allen - I'm his fan).

Beautiful

This chapter is as beautiful as or perhaps more than the first and manages to entertain and sadden at the same time as only this saga can do. Really beautiful and melancholy.
