Casatoria

It's a great laugh. If you want a cheap comedy and a good laugh, this is your go to movie for a free night. The characters were delicious, well build, the story was funny, and I liked the world created. There were funny situations and it was funny to see the characters react. However, if you a critic of comedy, I won't suggest this movie because you wouldn't enjoy the dumb cinematography. The ending was stupid but this is what makes this movie enjoyable. It's stupidity makes it fun. I suggest watching it with friends, I bet you would have a good laugh. Characters 7/10, Story 5/10, Conflict 6/10.

I tried not to give a subjective rating given that the film is Romanian and Mihai Bendeac is a multitalented man. The movie was below my expectations. The lines, the jokes or the action were sometimes mixed inappropriately... it's like when I try to make a cake with all my favorite ingredients without taking into account that some of them are not compatible.

The logistical effort to make this film is to be appreciated, but I am convinced that it can be done even better; maybe Mihai Bendeac should call on a team of professionals to help him with the creative part and he should limit himself to making and acting in the film.

With a significantly better script than this combined with the Bendeac style, I think something more valuable could come out!

I start by saying that I love Mihai Bendeac and I consider him the best humor creator in Romania at the moment. I've seen all his plays directed or just acted and I didn't even know before seeing it that this film is actually a screen adaptation of the play "Krecinski's Wedding".

The film stands out for its costumes and image, one of the best, if not the best, Romanian film of recent years from this point of view.

But I think that MB was wrong considering that theater and film can be so much the same. You can't really make a film with so many absurd and unrealistic characters unless you make it for children. And this is not a movie for children. If during the theater play I laughed out loud at certain lines, well, it was quite quiet in the movie theater. Liviu Pintileasa, although he does his best, does not seem to be necessarily made for the main role in a comedy film, and Vlad Dragulin is used too little.

On top of all this, there are also some songs that don't really belong there. They simply give the impression that the director satisfied his own musical pleasures with them or... that the respective soloists had to be included in the film.

Although I like Mihai Bendeac and admire his work and talent, I was disappointed by this film, barely resisting until the end.

My expectations were probably too high, regarding Bendeac's ability to direct an original film with a very good script.

Mediocre jokes, the script was non-existent, there were elements that had no point (manele, telephones..), the characters were extremely caricatured, sometimes giving the impression that I was watching cartoons.

Even though I know the actors from the theater, and they are very talented, in this film their talent was masked by the interpretation of these crude characters.

Some viewers left the theater in the first 10-15 minutes.

This movie was under my expectations given the talent of Mihai Bendeac, and the two main things that made this movie bad are the script and the music.

The problem with the script is that the characters are simply poorly written, predictable, based of cliches and simple jokes. It was like I was watching a children's movie because of the exaggerated traits of each character. There were also some characters that seemed like product placement because they are celebrities and their roles brought nothing.

The mixing of present day and past also was poorly executed, and if the director really wanted to do it, it could have been definetly made better.

The music also seemed totally out of place like product placement, inserted to appeal to the masses and reminded me of the other romanian movies that have come out lately that are clearly made for profit and no one wanted thought about making a good movie, but making a good profit.
