Super Fantozzi

The tragicomic misadventures of Italy's most unlucky accountant are back, this time over the centuries, from the creation of man in Eden to the super-technological future.

The idea, let's face it, is identical to that already used by Mel Brooks for his "History of the World - Part 1" (1981) and manages only partially to revitalize the Fantozzian series, already well 'squeezed' in its contemporary times in the previous films; here at least there is some gain thanks to the greater variety of settings, managing to propose some hilarious gags, alongside others that are less successful and / or already seen.

The lead actor Paolo Villaggio (author and creator of the character) remains the true comic engine of the film, but the result is still modest and the usual flat direction of Neri Parenti certainly does not help. On the other hand, Fred Bongusto's music is not bad.
