Teambuilding

In my book comedies fall in two categories: those which makes you smile and those which makes you laugh. Teambuilding is in the latter.

Yes, some jokes are gross, some jokes are cheap, but for sure they makes you laugh. If you can't laugh at this movie, it means you can't laugh at stand up comedy and it means you are a really sad person. In this case I beg you read "Povestea pulei" by Ion Cranga. It should be funny, if is not please go to a psychiatrist.

Sound is ok, the image is decent (don't expect outstanding cinematography). Some actors didn't make a very good job, but this is not a problem because you can laugh of this too. It isn't a realist film and you shouldn't expect realism, but exaggeration and fun.

What remains beyond laughter is the satire. A satire of corporate spirit, of HR bossing around, of drinking too much, of senseless sex, of being dishonest with yourself, of putting labels to others, of indifference, of servilism, of politically corectness and many others.

Kind reminder!

I see it more as a parody(satire) than a comedy per say. If you expect a comedy, you'll be dissapointed, but if you understand the genre of the movie, that this is a mockery of the corporate clichees, tropes, and doublespeak you'll get the right value of the movie.

I believe the actors didn't play badly, they played well for a parody, exagerating some of the reactions. I know some of they actors from other movies, known for goood acting, they played bad on purpose, their "bad acting" is good acting showing "bad acting" and fakeness& hypocrisy happening in everyday corporate life.

I only give it an 8 because there is some unnecessary profanity.

Supposing that most of the viewers will be Romanians, in general, we tend to be too harsh and critical with accomplishments of other Romanian fellows.

This could not be considered a movie. It's a bunch of sketches glued together to create a wanna be comedy.

Full of jokes that you could find five years ago on the internet. It's just a money grab that lures corporate workers with some phrases tot are often used in corporate jargon.

No character introduction, no motivation for the main protagonist just some scenes to fill the movie.

The department from Moldova is there just for the trailers, so the men audience can see some attractive girls. They play absolutely no role in the movie.

Also the team behind the movie is unable to accept criticism. If you write something bad about the movie they swear and act like maniacs, especially Cosmin Nedelcu, aka Micutu, who has no acting skills.

I can't understand how this movie was made , I was feeling like I am back in 2000's and watching American Pie what is mean the Americans was doing this types of movies 20 years ago. Stupid jokes and poor actors, well some of them they are not even actors(Pulhac).

The movie is overrated like hell. Glad I didn't pay to watch in cinema. I have just watched on Netflix.

I hope in the future Matei Dima will come with better ideas and movies. To be honest Miami Bici was 100 times better than this. I think we should do more this types of movies(Miami Bici) , let's go out from Romania little bit if we want to be known overseas.

Romanian films are rare. Romanian comedies are even rarer. Good ones are one in 10 years. This might just be one of the latter but I don't feel good saying it because it doesn't say a lot in the grand scheme of things.

A lot of the jokes are real stupid and filthy, which I liked, but also a lot of them I've seen or heard in other American films. Not surprising...Matei Dima and Micutzu grew up with that kind of movies but then again I really liked the Romanian stereotypes and I find a bit of truth in all of them. But I've seen those stereotypes in American movies as well haha...I'm conflicted haha.

Anyway, I had fun at the cinema, more so because the theater was full and to hear a full theater room laughing is just...great.
