Il mio miglior nemico

"Ten nominations to the Davids", "pleasant surprise", "delightful". With these words in my head, I chose to see "Il mio miglior nemico", otherwise a movie I would have avoided. What a disappointment. The plot is predictable and trite, the funny sequences are all in the trailer. Why did it have all that success at the box office last year? Maybe for Silvio Muccino, an Italian girls' idol together with Riccardo Scamarcio.

The least said the pushy advertising for Vodafone, a mobile operator. Except for Carlo Verdone, always perfect, the actors aren't so good. Silvio Muccino (Orfeo Rinalduzzi) is inexperienced, Ana Caterina Morariu (Cecilia) is pretty but dull, Agnese Nano (Gigliola) has the hateful role of the hysterical wife, Corinne Jiga (Ramona) has the job to show her curvaceous body for the men viewers.

Definitely a movie I will forget very, very soon.
