Fuga di cervelli

Brain Drain" ("Fuga di cervelli") proves that even the worst cinematic nightmares can come true. Imagine a group of wannabe comedians pretending to be medical students at Oxford to help their nerdy friend woo his dream girl. Sounds intriguing? Too bad the film is a disaster from start to finish. The script is a mishmash of crude jokes and embarrassing gags, reminiscent of the worst sketch comedy on a forgotten TV channel. Paolo Ruffini, in his directorial debut, shows that not every comedian can be a director. The characters are unbearable caricatures, and the humor is so forced it makes even the lamest sitcoms seem genius. If you're looking for a brilliant comedy, "Brain Drain" will make you want to flee the theater.
