Tolo Tolo

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

"Tolo Tolo" has its good moments and genuinely funny scenes. This is a movie about racism and the difficulty to integrate in a different culture, but this time the emigrant is Checco Zalone. The movie makes you understand what people that are running away from Africa because of the war need to endure in order to get to safety. The director criticizes European Politics, he shows the ignorance of the Italian population and the overall superficiality of people when it comes to empathizing with some difficult situations. Zalone is as always funny and he made me laugh a lot. His comedy might be a little bit too aggressive for some, but I am happy that there are still people in Italy willing to make these jokes, because this is the kind of humor that I am looking for. Checco already explored a few of these topics in previous movies, therefore a few plot elements felt a bit too exploited. However if you are searching for something light-hearted to watch with some friends, "Tolo Tolo" is just perfect to spend one hour and half.

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.

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