I've seen this movie in a pact theater , something that doesn't happen to often in Romania. The mood was great and I had a good feeling about this movie. I am sorry to say I was wrong.
It's certainly worth a look.But I didn't like the movie yes it was funny, it had a great,terrific story to tell, great cast! A decent budget, big for Romania, looks great, sounds OK... but as much as I love Horatiu Malaiele, I think this movie needed a better director.
Good story, but the way it was told was weak. The acting was not perfect, something that isn't OK, from such a cast, you expect a great performance, it wasn't bad, but should have been perfect.
The silent wedding scene is great, very funny, and the Highlight of the movie. The bad part is, that this isn't a funny movie, but it's built as one. This movie is a tragedy, and more then that, it's based on a true tragedy. It is impossible to get close to any of the characters, so it is impossible to really feel that last scene, the scene that should have been heartbreaking the way this film was made, that last part of the movie doesn't mean anything.
Great idea of making you laugh and joyful then making you cry. Made me laugh , but couldn't possibly make anyone cry. This was a decent movie, should have been a lot better it had a lot more in it. In the end it had a very Romanian feel about it, but of a higher Quality.
My score for it: About 6.8 IMDb average, 3.5/10 my score.
