Tolo Tolo

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.

Another film with the comedian Checco Zalone as the protagonist. The film is different from the various advertising clips around for some time. Is a non-racist film, in the end Checco makes it clear that we are all the same and there are no color distinctions; we are all human. To be a record-breaking box office film, I expected more.

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.

Really poor comedy. Zalone tries to replicate the previous successes but he collects a huge and embarrassing failure.

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.
