Tolo Tolo

This is a macaroni dish of roman style, il duce like italianism, where an bankrupt italian businessman flees the irs and emigrates to somewhere in africa, where isisterrorizes and takes command, and he must like all the others flee, but having shreded his own passport he has to go through all the hardships that african immigrants has to go through on their journy to the ''promised land'', on a rubber dingy, a lottery of life whereever that maybe.

its trully a great comedy on behalf of the italian spirit and nationalism. its not a racial comedy, no, the xenophobic moments are dually shared and its rather one italian trying to avoid drowning by hanging on the flagpole on the sinking ships aft, trying to save himself from the africans that do rib him from money and his narcississtic dignity. if youre an italian ''tolo tolo'' is a must see, if your an european you should definately have a look, cause it shows the relentless nothingness that european politicians do in their daily life at work, thats merely nothing at all. its a poutpoury of colours and language, and a good mix of true facts, and pure fantasy through comedy

to see this film youll have to love irony cause its specked full of it, also the choice of score is a bullseye, easy italian, with a spicy sound of african rythms. the cast is like an italian salad, tasty and colourfilled, and the whole shabang did entertain, even a grumpy old man that doesnt know italian language at all. a recommend it is.

As usual, Zalone tries to "educate" the audience by impersonating characters who reflect some of the worst Italian stereotypes and behaviors. This time the main theme is immigration from Africa. The movie is full of irreverent jokes and gags that aim to politically correctness, hypocriticals, racists, do-gooders, embedded reporters, politicians, fashion-addicts and fascists. Although one would expect some drama (given the issues addressed), this is a comedy and my advice is: Don't take it too seriously. Personally, I didn't like the end and I must admit that Zalone's previous movies (directed by Nunziante) were probably better made. However, the movie is enjoyable and gives some food for thoughts.

Probably only appropriate for an exclusively Italian audience, the movie has its strength in the very topical subject of immigration, basis of the entire plot. As per its extravagant character and director Checco Zalone, the movie has a very peculiar comic style, which can be either loved or hated. Very hilarious gags are alternated with some dubious gaps in the plot. Overall, an enjoyable movie to watch.

I'm italian. I think each Zalone's movie is mainly for italians, starting from the language he uses. Tolo Tolo is the first movie directed by Checco Zalone and for the first time he's not just comic, he's not used, he wants to try to swap the audience with him during the movie (an Italian audience). I enjoyed watching it. Honestly i'd say thanks to him for what he did

Another film with the comedian Checco Zalone as the protagonist. The film is different from the various advertising clips around for some time. Is a non-racist film, in the end Checco makes it clear that we are all the same and there are no color distinctions; we are all human. To be a record-breaking box office film, I expected more.
