Marginalci

Look, I know that it is difficult to make any kind of film in Croatia, let alone a quality one. It is even more difficult to make a quality comedy, as our filmmakers have been proving to us for decades. All that being said, dear brother, this was horrible.

My wife and I started watching this movie with the best of intentions and the hope that we would laugh or at least think "Well this isn't bad at all.", but boy oh boy, were we disappointed... I had slightly higher expectations from a pretty solid cast.

The film begins with the information that the Croatian Audiovisual Center gives millions of kunas to various projects, but they did not give a penny to this project. Already after the opening 3-4 minutes of the film, it becomes perfectly clear to you why CAC didn't give a single penny.

The jokes are terribly shabby, without a trace of anything original. The plot practically does not exist, everyone in that fictional Zagorje village is shown as borderline retarded and dressed as if they had fallen out of 1913.

The whole film seemed like one long episode of "Nad Lipom 35" or some dumb series from Nova TV, like Dar Mar, with the fact that for some parts of the dialogue even the screenwriters of "Nad Lipom 35" would say "Come on people, we need something better..."

A scene here and there was borderline funny, but nowhere near enough to give this movie more than a 3/10 and that's because I'm feeling generous.

Instead of the filmmakers wondering why CAC didn't give this a dime, everyone should be wondering how and why this ended up on Netflix.
