Genovese's film is a highly successful comedy, thanks to its sharp and witty dialogue, well-paced storytelling, and outstanding performances from an excellent cast. The two protagonists, caught in the awkwardness of a first date, provide plenty of laughs, but-true to the finest tradition of Italian comedy-the biggest laughs come at our own expense.

Yet the film is not just about humor; there are tender moments as well. "You cry and you laugh-what more could you ask for?" says Valeria Puccini in one of the film's most memorable lines, perfectly capturing its essence.

Beyond its premise-reminiscent of Inside Out-what truly makes the film stand out is its wealth of clever ideas, woven into a solid and well-crafted screenplay. Perhaps the strong Italian identity of both the story and the cast may limit its international appeal, but rather than traveling as is, it is likely to inspire numerous remakes, especially across Europe.
