Featured reviews
misunderstood humor, bigoted Italy
This film is a real challenge to political correctness, a work that can both fascinate and annoy, depending on the viewer's type of humor. It is designed for those who appreciate unfiltered comedy and do not let themselves be trapped by moralism.
Personally, I found it brilliant: finally a return to the politically incorrect, in an era in which these topics are increasingly censored by right-thinking people.
The criticisms I've seen on social media all seem to focus on defending the 'victims' of the film, demonstrating that, even though we're in 2025, many people still can't distinguish between person and character, an essential distinction. Angelo Duro is an undisputed talent and the other actors involved in the film consciously accepted their roles: no one was 'bullied'. This film is a breath of fresh air in the current landscape.

Exaggerated and repetitive, with no emotion
The film is somewhat nice and 'original,' but after a while, it's enough. If it had been 45 minutes shorter, it would have been fine, but then it wouldn't have been a movie. Angelo Duro (whom I adore as a comedian) is flat and expressionless, with a repetitive style of comedy, to say the least; more than an hour and a half feels like watching the same thing. The fact is that when 'politically incorrect' comedy is so extreme and contrived, it loses its impact. The reactions of the people around him continue as if nothing happened after each absurd 'joke,' and the gags that only start and end verbally create a totally unrealistic scenario that doesn't allow you to immerse yourself in the film or the story at all. Angelo Duro is a brilliant comedian, but for me, if this is all he can offer in cinema, it's definitely a no.
Noisy, monotonous and slow
Duro in this movie seems to me a Checco Zalone bought on Temu.
Some lines and how to say them, are very similar to the style of the Apulian actor, but completely zeroed by his monotonous and flat interpretation.
The film sometimes loses logic and without a real reason. There is no evolution of the character, as said, no expression, tone of voice always identical and almost always obvious.
I love the politically incorrect, but here it seems too drawn and tried to fit it even when it wasn't going well.
It had started well, the first gag made me laugh, but then for 2 hours everything was the same.

The problem is not the black humor..
If this movie has low rate it is not because of politically correct: i believe that anyone who deliberately watched this movie was expecting to laugh at disabilities, and all the stuff, me included.
The problem with this movie is that it is a bad movie: flat, repetitive, with little evolution and no intent into exploring any side of the story.
One can say that the fact that the protagonist has no change in his behaviour is actually a good thing because it is out of the cliché, and in a way it is so, but all in all the whole movie is a sequence of almost flat gags where Duro shows no emotion and treat people harshly.
It is ok for a sketch but way too little to make a believable movie.

Mediocre, tedious and annoying
One of the most mediocre movies I've ever watched. It's more funny and entertaining reading the information leaflet of the butt pills. Boring, repetitive beyond nausea; Angelo Duro is as expressive as a dead fish, he's never changed expression throughout the whole movie. The starting point, the revenge towards cynical, absent, emotionally (sometimes even physically) abusive parents who created generations of dysfunctional behaving people, could have been interesting; but the screenplay is so repetitive, banal, the acting is so exaggerated that the film results in annoyance, the jokes are banal and, often, embarrassing.
