Mirciulica

I think that all Romanians should see this movie. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I was truly impressed with the direction of the movie. Both adults and children will laugh a lot and enjoy it.

It is not a perfect movie, it has it's hiccups but there are no major issues. The acting is good, the characters are lovely and overall the storyline is believable. The main character has to face the real life and needs to make some tough decisions. The length of the movie is just right, I didn't even realise how the time passed.

It could've been just another cheap comedy but it was much more than that, good job :)

Being native speakers, we enjoy watching Romanian films on a weekend with the extended family, and we've seen some wonky stuff over time, but this really took the biscuit.

Very thin plot, almost nonexistent, same as the production value, no acting skills to be found here, apart from the boss, and that's not saying a lot.

Nothing happens and does so very, very slowly. 0 out of 10, do not recommend.

Currently it's sitting at no. 1 on Netflix, probably from all the people clicking out of curiosity , but maybe that should say something about Netflix as well - after all, they paid money for this slow dumpster fire.

Loved the clever jokes and puns. It has great characters that work great together.

It also has some important topics : relationship with parents, the conflict between generations, old principles vs new principles, not so good vs good, innocence vs corruptions.

I felt that the whole situations was resolved a little bit too quickly and fortunate. Nonetheless Bunica is the real superhero of the movie. I was hoping to see more of her in the movie and explore a little more the connection with her nephew.

Overall good direction and it has a positive ending.

A great first movie from Mircea and the gang.

I think the essence of the movie plot is related to the hard times Romania was offering to its youngsters 15 years ago or more. Lots of places where mediocrity prevailed or meritocracy was something to dream of. As a youngster, you could look weird because you were thinking healthy. Or you could get appreciated but kept somewhere aside as a nice guy, not being able to make an impact and change things. Now we are living in other times. For people not living those times I imagine this movie makes less sense.

Now, how good was the movie in expressing artistically those times or how funny, that's a different story.

I think it looked as made by begineers. Characters could have been better shaped, better played, jokes could have been better, the image overall could have been better. Even if made by, let's say begineers, the movie could have been better by allocating more time to make it.

However, I am happy that Mircea (Bravo) made the movie, going past the youtube sketches and I hope they will get better and better. That's the bottom line.

The movie feels literally like a longer and maybe better video quality of a random youtube sketch. The ideas of the characters were thought with no originality at all, everything is very stereotypical. Story line is very weak and it feels like this movie was thought in a weekend. The only reason this movie sells is because of the fame the youtuber and the grandmother has, no one should watch this movie otherwise. I normally wouldn't leave a cinema movie because i always want to give a chance to any movie and finish it until the end, but after finishing it i felt more blank than before, there is no important meaning or message this movie can deliver.
