    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.

    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!!

    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..

    Absolutely unwatchable

    This movie is a complete disaster. The humor relies entirely on excessive swearing, crude gestures, and childish jokes, with no subtlety whatsoever. Even worse, the film feels the need to explain its already simplistic jokes, which seem aimed at a very young audience. At best, there are only three or four genuinely funny moments throughout.

    The characters, storyline, and dialogue are painfully predictable, giving the impression that the script was written by a child. While the filmmakers may claim this is the kind of content Romanian audiences enjoy, I have yet to meet anyone who actually liked it. I strongly recommend not wasting your time on this film.

    An absolute disaster! A movie that shouldn't exist!!

    Title: An Absolute Disaster - A Movie That Shouldn't Exist

    I have seen some bad movies in my life, but this one? This was a new level of awful. Every single aspect of it was a complete failure - from the writing to the acting, the direction, the pacing, and even the sound design. It felt like a group of amateurs got together and decided to make a movie without any knowledge of filmmaking.

    The script was a mess, filled with cringe-worthy dialogue and plot holes big enough to drive a truck through. The characters were lifeless, and their motivations made no sense. The actors looked like they were either sleepwalking or overacting to the point of comedy - except the movie wasn't supposed to be funny.

    Visually, it was a nightmare. The cinematography was either painfully dull or trying too hard to be "artistic" in the worst way possible. The special effects (if you can call them that) were laughable, looking like something out of a cheap 90s video game. And the editing? Choppy, inconsistent, and headache-inducing.

    The pacing was torture. It dragged in all the wrong places, yet somehow rushed through moments that were supposed to matter. By the time the credits rolled, I felt like I had just wasted precious hours of my life that I would never get back.

    Overall, this film is an insult to cinema. It's not even "so bad it's good"-it's just bad. Avoid it at all costs unless you enjoy suffering.
