Tre uomini e una gamba

It's a rare kind of humor, very nice! The problem is that is just in Italian, and even if it was in english it's not possible to taste Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo's speeches in other languages than their own ones. :)

Being an italian, often very critical of italian cinema, I must admit that it annoys me to recognize that this movie is absolutely awesome. Each scene, even taken individually, is unforgettable. Despite its simplicity, it is always very intelligent and fun, and perfectly characterizes the best and the worst of Italianness. Even if it has his years now, it's always incredibly current and hilarious. I could be considered a heretic, but I think it is one of the most successful films of its kind, certainly one of the best of the last 30 years, if not always. Many Italians should see it again and again, maybe they will learn something eventually...

The three (four with Mrs. Massironi) best actor-comedians in the Italian performing arts scene decided to make a movie. And it is a blessing. It is just as if you were at one of their live performances: exhilarating. It almost work as a movie (and not only as an excuse for the trio to perform), and the additional possibilities of the new media are used (along with their performance and excellent lines) to create more and more fun.

One evening I had nothing to do and the worse thing there was nothing on TV but one Italian movie ...

I love Italy and their ways. The three of them are just awesome and I agree with previous comments, that if you don't know nothing about Italy it will be very hard for you to get the joke. But if a man saw Godfathers, Robert de Niro movies, some european or better non Hollywood production it shouldn't be the problem.

AYEYE BRAZZO ...

Nevertheless, 10 of 10 points for the Gamba.

I saw this movie by accident, the local news paper made a mistake in the listings but by the time my two mates and I had driven out, found a park and walked to the movie theatre we didn't want to turn around and go home without watching anything. Despite the fact that the three of us would struggle to turn up a single Italian word between us we all laughed ourselves silly through the subtitles and decided that this movie is an absolute ripsnorter of a film that any aspiring comedy writer can and should learn from.
