Not funny as expected but OK

[bbsantic-77751 · 6/10 · 6 February 2017]

Croatian movies lack humour, but I had high expectations on this one, since it's trailer was very promising. Unfortunately, the trailer has most of the best parts from the film. Can't say there aren't many (often verbal or written) jokes in the film, but they didn't make me laugh, just put a mild smile on my face or more often "I got this one" reaction. I mean - I can't say the film is bad, far from that - but it's hard to say it's good either. Some actors are great, usual Croatian problem of actors behaving like they are acting in a theater is not present, camera is OK, but I expected more from humour after I've seen trailer. People who aren't from former Yugoslavia will hardly get half of the jokes in the film, since they are local, and there are many small details that have to be noticed. So to summ it up - after watching the film for the first time I was not positive about it, but I watched it once again the day-two after, because I wanted to see some scenes again.

What on the heaven's earth is this?

This movie is so, so lame. I didn't laugh at all and was embarrassed most of the time, and so were other moviegoers.

Taxpayers paid for this garbage

[zed17 · 1/10 · 15 May 2021]

Another garbage paid for with taxpayers money that is so bad and pathetic that it's impossible to watch it to the end.

There's not even much to write about this pathetic attempt to make a film.

What a waste of taxpayer money.

A group of young partisans plans an assassination of Hitler

This movie is packed with little jokes, it reminds me on old Monty Python films. It may have a strong local focus, so all the jokes may not be so easily understandable to public outside South-East Europe, although I think that everyone will laugh at "Lol". The film counts on younger public, but was fun for me, and I am 54.

Characters are of a comic book style, do not expect a usual comedy, this film reminds on a video game, and needs full attention, so that all little details can be caught.

For all youngsters - highly recommended, for others - also, if they still are young inside.

Ironic and funny

[katarina-25178 · 10/10 · 11 August 2021]

I actually didn't planned to watch this movie, but it was on one of the channels...and in just few scenes and snarky comments I knew this is good. If you love sarcastic comments, ironic story and theatrical acting this will be your cup of tea..
