Normal comedy

Warning: Spoilers
Italian comedy film made like many other films of this type where sex dominates the whole plot in a tremendous and very classic way. The film has a very trivial and linear plot and exploits the very classic expedients of Italian comedy to entertain and amuse the audience and this stuff works up to a certain point because the film entertains only if you look at it in a superficial and unpretentious way because at a The attentive eye is, on the other hand, very banal and sometimes even boring. But there is a separate discussion for the ending because it is the most unexpected thing that could exist because after a trivial and very flat film the film decides to turn everything upside down in the ending with one of the most unexpected and completely out of place sequences for the spirit of the film there are.

Down and dirty vs royal

I assumed this was one of the lesser known Celentano movies. While it has been a while (apart from another movie on Netflix recently), since I saw some of his movies, I remember him being the funny guy - a character full of self esteam - which may be closer to his real persona than this one is. But since I have not read up on him or have never seen a documentary on him (there surely must be one at least, right?), I can only guess.

Here is more than vulnurable and he really puts himself out there. He may be cocky but he also gets a lot coming his way. He is being manhandled, ridiculed and many more things. He is after all not royalty (like others here) ... and then the movie also has other themes that it explores ... things that will coincide with his story and his path ... which may not be a good thing for him to happen ... so maybe you can see the ending coming (even though one may wonder if mixing in humor with a very serious matter of life and death might not be the best idea ... one might think that one would be quiet, when ones life depends on it ... but you'll see what I mean if you decide to watch this.
