Fotopoulos-Stavridis: business as usual
kokkinoskitrinosmple14 January 2024
Another great show by the classic comedic duo of Mimis Fotopoulos and Nikos Stavridis and their interactions is the main reason to watch the movie, though it's the former who has most of the good lines and steals the show.

The plot is way too predictable and full of clichés. Two contrasting characters, one is rich but plebian, while the other is poor but noble, fight for the heart of Milly, who they view as a means to the upper echelon of society. However, she proves that the woman's mind can come up with a myriad of tricks and devilishly fools them not once but twice in order to marry her chosen one, the poor but honest Iason. Their fiancees, on the other hand, represent a more traditional view of the woman, passively following their men and blindly accepting anything they do with no sign of pride or self-respect.

Another major highlight is Hristos Tsaganeas in the role of the oddball uncle.

No complaints on the musical department either, a typical performance by Chiotis-Linda and a surprising - in a good way - one by Chatzis.
