Io... mio figlio e la fidanzata

Slow Local Trains, featuring the beloved Louis de Funès, earns a modest 5/10. While the film carries the charm typical of a de Funès comedy, it falls short in delivering a compelling narrative, making it a mixed experience even for fans of the iconic actor.

As a devoted Louis de Funès fan, I appreciate the unique brand of humor and expressive acting he brings to every role. In Slow Local Trains, de Funès' comedic timing and quirky mannerisms are evident, providing moments of genuine amusement. His performance is, as always, a highlight and a testament to his talent in comedic acting.

However, the film's plot is where it falters. The story feels disjointed and overly absurd at times, lacking the coherence and strength seen in some of de Funès' more acclaimed works. While absurdity can be a hallmark of comedy, in this instance, it seems to detract from the overall enjoyment rather than enhance it.

Despite these shortcomings, Slow Local Trains still offers some value, especially for die-hard Louis de Funès fans. The film showcases his unique style and comedic flair, which alone might make it worth watching for those who appreciate his work.
