    Horrible movie

    This is an absolutely terrible film, one of the worst I've ever seen. The so-called "actors" are clearly not actors at all-they have no connection to the craft, no training, and no understanding of what acting even entails. I can appreciate a film made by beginners or those with minimal experience, as long as there's some effort or passion behind it. However, this movie is not that. It's a complete disaster from start to finish, showcasing nothing but incompetence at every level. The dialogue is painfully awkward, the delivery of lines is cringe-worthy, and the overall execution is laughably bad. It's clear that no one involved had any idea what they were doing.

    To make matters worse, the film is directed by someone who calls themselves a "director" but proves, beyond any doubt, that money cannot buy talent. Just because you have the resources to make a film doesn't mean you should. This project is a living testament to that fact. It's amateurish, poorly conceived, and utterly devoid of any redeeming qualities. A rating of 1 out of 10 is still far too generous-this is bottom-of-the-barrel material, the kind of film that makes you question how it was even made in the first place. Avoid at all costs.

    Not worth spending time watching this movie

    I went to watch the movie with high hopes thinking I will see a smart satire of the political class - as they are providing tons of great material unfortunately. The script is really poor. Nothing funny. Bad language. Good actors playing in a really really bad movie. Jojo has played well, but, with the right script, she could have shined.

    I was wondering how this movie was released so close to Romanian presidenti elections without a problem. Now is clear to me. It's a very poor comedy, not a satire, made for people with low IQ. You should keep kids away from this movie! A BIG dissapointment!!

    Dont waste your time on this horrible horrible movie.

    Slow-paced, uneventful, and lacking emotional depth, it feels more like a dull lecture than a film. Characters are flat, the plot drags endlessly, and the message-while important-is delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. If you're looking for engaging cinema, skip this one. You'll spend 90 minutes waiting for something to happen... and it never does. Watch literally anything else.

    The cinematography tries to be artistic but ends up feeling forced, while the script offers little beyond surface-level clichés. A missed opportunity that fails to inspire or entertain.

    Don't watch it. It's extremely bad, with second-rate actors.

    There's nothing to see here. The same tired, untalented Romanian actors play the same roles they've been playing since they started in film. And they do it just as poorly as before. Nothing in this movie is original, everything is copied from elsewhere. Anyone who watches the series Las Fierbinti will recognize in this film all the jokes copied from the show, performed in an even more pathetic and talentless way than the Las Fierbinti actors do. I don't understand how people who went to acting school and have played in so many films still find themselves in this amateurish position.

    Score: -100, both for the script and for the second-rate actors.

    Interesting concept horrible execution

    It is such a shame how scripts like this can be approved and displayed in cinemas. The concept and timing of a movie about a presidential election released was so good that I got tricked into watching it, but from the first scene I understood what I got myself into. Very poor and expired jokes with horrid acting and delivery, cheesiest plot possible, predictable and an all around terrible way to waste your time. I really tried to find something good about it and the only thing was a creative 3-second scene where the sound design mixed up really well with the visual. If your IQ is over 80 you will be way better of staring at a wall for an hour and a half than going to this absolute travesty of a movie..
