Like someone stated very eloquently before, the movie started well, as a decent comedy, but it ended absurd in a kitchy mood and dark comedy. They couldnt decide what kind of comedy to build up and the result was just a kitch. However, the acting was very good and covincing, too pity it was ruined by a poor producing and mixing the comedy styles.

At some point it became like a drama, therefore I got mixed feelings. During watching the movie at some point I started rooting against the main character. It'a definitely a feelgood comedy. Some scenes are simply gut wrenching in the last part of the movie, which the movie did not prepare me for, when creating the premise of the film.

Complete non sense script, bad acting, horrible dialogues. Worst directing and acting I have seen in a long time in Romanian cinematography. I am sorry for the rest of the crew that did their job honorably ( photography, sound, makeup, location manager etc). Complete waste of time and money.

I kept watching until the end hoping it will get better but it got weirder and weirder..and at the end simply went..screw this, we don't need an ending or to give audience what they deserved after the buildup.

I feel very disappointed and betrayed..I wanted to like this movie. I want my 2hours back and to unsee this.

The plot is just infantile and hard to believe. None of the characters are likeable. I cannot like the party pooper money hungry character played by Serban Pavlu and I can't like his tacky, unfunny, gross neighbours as well, but I kinda feal for the people whose parties are ruined. Nevertheless, the whole movie seems like a contest for the most cringey movie scene ever. The jokes are the kind your embarassing uncle would make when drunk at a Christmas dinner. Just old and cringey.

The only question remains why do good actors feel the need to deliver this kind of dirt?

Spare yourselves 2 hrs of your lives and skip this one. Really.

Plot (spoiler free): Our protagonist, Cosmin Berinde (Serban Pavlu) bought a land at country side, planning to invest into building houses on it, expecting a profit of 1 million euro. He did not know about the neighboring club that organizes loud events, such as weddings and christenings. After asking nicely to turn the music down, Cosmin was rejected and started a music "war" to destroy the club's business. This is the intro of the movie... the rest is up to you to watch what happens.

Comedy: The whole movie is intended to be a comedy. Types present in this movie: situation comedy (a lot), verbal comedy (a lot), name comedy (I'll describe below) and others.

Name comedy comes from a few characters:

• Mr. Barbat (in Romanian, "barbat" = "man") - it produces confusion such as:

♦ (on phone) "Hello! Talking to Barbat on phone." ... (the other side) "Yes, hello... another man (barbat) here".

♦ "A song dedication to the manliest man alive ... To Mr. Barbat!" (Mr. Man)

• the priest named Mantuiala. In Romanian, "a mantui" = "to save" (in a religious way), but "de mantuiala" = "botched". From his name, we understand the pseudo work that the priest does.

Unfortunately, some verbal comedy has sense only in Romanian.

The songs chosen by Cosmin for his "war" has lots of meanings in Romanian culture. Such as (very minor spoilers):

• The first artist he chose is Jean de la Craiova (Jean from Craiova, a city). This artist discography is mainly made from "manele", a song genre that is mostly played at parties, but often considered a bad taste in music by high standards people.

• The second band he chose is Parazitii (Parasites), a rap band. It is well known here, as they often use curse words in their songs. Their music is not well heard in this movie (to don't make it a 15+ film), but Romanians know them well enough to know what they are singing about.

Overall, it is a very good comedy with good actors. Good enough to watch in a weekend to sit back and relax. Even better if you have a person next to you to discuss the little details that they use along the movie.
