This is the finest metaphor for the Romanian American relationship as it is viewed from the Romanian side. It goes deeply, but in a fun manner, into this 70 year old relation. All aspects are quintessential to understanding the Romanian understanding of world politics. The movie might be hard to understand for a Westerner that has not all the data, but definitely strikes a cord and you will feel it throughout the movie, no matter your nationality. To define this movie I would focus on realism, characters that do represent stereotypes, black Romanian humor, teenage Balkan sexuality and between the lines harsh criticism of world politics. One should look beyond the situational humor and invest some time to read between the lines of one of the best movies produced by the Eastern European cinema in the past two decades

It is one of the worse movies ever made. Producers splashed cash on a total insult to most people's intelligence. Do yourself a favor, this movie is not worth your time! You might be better off staring at a white wall for a couple of hours. The humor is absolutely horrendous, most of the actors are as bad as it gets, screenplay is non-existent, directing... suicidal. It starts off by being simply boring, but when they try to be funny they just miss every time and go from bad to worse. They try to copy some American comedies, but without any luck. Alex tries to build this gangster attitude but fails, this second-hand actress Whitney Anderson proves why she is not yet famous and Dragos Bucur just put a big stain on his CV. I haven't seen the end as I could not bare the ordeal any longer, but somehow I know I couldn't have missed much. Apparently Romanians are much better at creating cinema art, rather than entertainment.
