Tolo Tolo (Naïf et Insensé)

Probably only appropriate for an exclusively Italian audience, the movie has its strength in the very topical subject of immigration, basis of the entire plot. As per its extravagant character and director Checco Zalone, the movie has a very peculiar comic style, which can be either loved or hated. Very hilarious gags are alternated with some dubious gaps in the plot. Overall, an enjoyable movie to watch.

I'm italian. I think each Zalone's movie is mainly for italians, starting from the language he uses. Tolo Tolo is the first movie directed by Checco Zalone and for the first time he's not just comic, he's not used, he wants to try to swap the audience with him during the movie (an Italian audience). I enjoyed watching it. Honestly i'd say thanks to him for what he did

As usual, Zalone tries to "educate" the audience by impersonating characters who reflect some of the worst Italian stereotypes and behaviors. This time the main theme is immigration from Africa. The movie is full of irreverent jokes and gags that aim to politically correctness, hypocriticals, racists, do-gooders, embedded reporters, politicians, fashion-addicts and fascists. Although one would expect some drama (given the issues addressed), this is a comedy and my advice is: Don't take it too seriously. Personally, I didn't like the end and I must admit that Zalone's previous movies (directed by Nunziante) were probably better made. However, the movie is enjoyable and gives some food for thoughts.

It'sa comedy yes. It's modern and touches a theme, the immigration and the life conditions of immigrants, in a serious way but with a little comic verve.

It's a movie that let you think we're almost all lucky for being born in normal countries.

Checco Zalone, who's real name is Luca Medici, takes some inspiration from the great Alberto Sordi and recall scenes from other cult movies, one scene is taken from Save The Private Ryan.

The movie has several good actors, beautiful scenes and photography, but also some sad moments.

The theme of the immigration has never been treated in a so dramatic way and at the same time in a so funny but respectful way.

Not my movie of choice but delighted to see the cinema theatre in my hometown getting full in and out. Having lived in Africa for 10 years I found characters and dynamics to be pertinent.
