Pesti balhé

A refreshing movie for me as a foreign student. I rarely do much in my free time, so when this came out especially now, during the COVID, I went to see with English subtitles. The plot was pretty surprising. It's a Hollywood looking East European film. The characters are lovely, and it was pretty funny. I'd recommend it although you need to like this type of humour.

This absolute piece of trash tries to sell you a main protagonist, who in his childhood always played indian, so now in his adulthood still always wears feathers in his ears, and all his role consist only of inarticulate roars. The female lead chews bubblegum, wears a cap with bright-colorful hair, even though she is over 30 years old, because she is, you get it, cool, lol.

And the best part is that the moral of the story would be that the successful, renowned, rich engineer dude should be cool like these loser, idiot friends of his.

Nothing makes sense in this "film", the scenes are hardly connecting. Only the jokes were more miserable than the characters. My second hand embarrasment had a second hand embarrasment by the 30 minute mark. Total waste of time.

The first minutes were okay when we saw the children stealing the drawing, but watching some 40years old losers still crying over their miserable lives and messing up a funeral is not funny. The whole concept of placing the painting in the auction and how the characters deliver it is absurd. Most of the scenes don't make any sense. The actors are terrible, the story is simple without any excitement or suspense and the jokes are written by 6year olds and we saw it a billion time. This movie would have been better if the characters had been younger and this stupidity would make a bigger sense. I am sad if this the post Andy Vajna era.

This movie was a waste of my time. The story was confusing and had a lot of bloopers (for example when the whole city's electricity was turned off but in the next scene power was back). Worst Hungarian movie that I've seen.

It was quite refreshing to see a new takle on the heist genre with this little gem. In most heist movies they try to bust a bank or a casino, while in this one it's the opposite, they steal a painting into an auction. How come nobody had this idea before? Superb cinematography, Hollywood-style directing, really professionally done soundtrack.
