Teambuilding

I can't understand how this movie was made , I was feeling like I am back in 2000's and watching American Pie what is mean the Americans was doing this types of movies 20 years ago. Stupid jokes and poor actors, well some of them they are not even actors(Pulhac).

The movie is overrated like hell. Glad I didn't pay to watch in cinema. I have just watched on Netflix.

I hope in the future Matei Dima will come with better ideas and movies. To be honest Miami Bici was 100 times better than this. I think we should do more this types of movies(Miami Bici) , let's go out from Romania little bit if we want to be known overseas.

I had really low expectations after many negative reviews seen. But it was actually a really decent comedy to watch on a Friday night. Even if being decent, is one of the best comedies in Romania from the last 3 decades. The problem is that the plot happens around the "corporation environment" which, ironically and sad, is still new for romanian public which has a big part of the public nostalgic after communist times and working for "the state".

Some really smart jokes, taboo topics that should be talked more in Romania, general corporation jokes. Take a pizza, a beer, and relax. You will not laugh your eyes out, but you will smile most of the movie.

In my book comedies fall in two categories: those which makes you smile and those which makes you laugh. Teambuilding is in the latter.

Yes, some jokes are gross, some jokes are cheap, but for sure they makes you laugh. If you can't laugh at this movie, it means you can't laugh at stand up comedy and it means you are a really sad person. In this case I beg you read "Povestea pulei" by Ion Cranga. It should be funny, if is not please go to a psychiatrist.

Sound is ok, the image is decent (don't expect outstanding cinematography). Some actors didn't make a very good job, but this is not a problem because you can laugh of this too. It isn't a realist film and you shouldn't expect realism, but exaggeration and fun.

What remains beyond laughter is the satire. A satire of corporate spirit, of HR bossing around, of drinking too much, of senseless sex, of being dishonest with yourself, of putting labels to others, of indifference, of servilism, of politically corectness and many others.

Kind reminder!

A complete mess that adds together the full range of romanian social, regional and national stereotypes with some corporatist ones. On top of that the "comedy" offers a unnecessary vulgar language which is not at all a reality of the local society.

It offers also a catch for the male audience, bringing some female models as "actors" to play the roles of the Moldavian Team.

It also serves the viewer with product placement for on-line gaming services and alcohol which seems to be a pillar of the "story".

The actors performance is at amateur level at best.

I am not a purist but this movie is a waste.

Romanian films are rare. Romanian comedies are even rarer. Good ones are one in 10 years. This might just be one of the latter but I don't feel good saying it because it doesn't say a lot in the grand scheme of things.

A lot of the jokes are real stupid and filthy, which I liked, but also a lot of them I've seen or heard in other American films. Not surprising...Matei Dima and Micutzu grew up with that kind of movies but then again I really liked the Romanian stereotypes and I find a bit of truth in all of them. But I've seen those stereotypes in American movies as well haha...I'm conflicted haha.

Anyway, I had fun at the cinema, more so because the theater was full and to hear a full theater room laughing is just...great.
