Mia Italida ap' tin Kypseli

Mia Italida ap' tin Kipseli works fine as a comedy.

Antonis (Alekos Alexandrakis) is witty and effortlessly charming, though the laughs are mostly provided by the supporting characters, Polikratis (Giannis Vogiatzis) the eternal loser, Roro (Elektra Kalamidou), exuberant and full of heart, and John Parker (Giorgos Gavriilidis), naive and out of touch with reality.

The main complaint to be made about this movie is that it tries too hard to force its message, namely that Greek women are superior to foreigners. Not only does the plot involve painting the image of a - supposed to be - Italian woman with dark colours, so that Greek women appear better in comparison, it also introduces Rene (Keti Papanika), a French woman with questionable morals.
