Save yourself and your precious time from this failure ! There is no humour in this movie, a failure from start to finish! The actors were poor, their acting was poor, the plot was poor and predictable even for a 7 years old, although I don't recommend it to children:)) Everything's looking so boring! Seems like it's trying to imitate old american comedies from the 90's but ohhh...such a big difference here. I know Mr Bendeac from the TV Shows in Romania and I love his characters from those TV-Shows but here we suppose to lift up a bit the level of his brilliance...Disappointed,although I still respect him ! I think 2 stars, maximum 3 would be enough! Don't make a sequel, please ! 🙏 I am so happy I watched it on Netfix and saved my money ! 🤣
I kept watching this movie till the end just to see how low a story can go. Nothing to see at the ridiculous characters placed at the border of nowhere while the touch of local music and kitsch is beyond comprehension and taste. Producer and actor Mihai Bendeac seems to have a wrong understanding of cinematic arts when he projects his artistic vision on the screen and employs a blend of Romanian music celebrities just to make the film even less convincing. The only inspired move was to place the story a century ago, back the days when Romania was not yet touched by modern "values", yet the set was troubled by grotesque costumes and vulgar tattoos. A total kitsch-hock.
I tried not to give a subjective rating given that the film is Romanian and Mihai Bendeac is a multitalented man. The movie was below my expectations. The lines, the jokes or the action were sometimes mixed inappropriately... it's like when I try to make a cake with all my favorite ingredients without taking into account that some of them are not compatible.
The logistical effort to make this film is to be appreciated, but I am convinced that it can be done even better; maybe Mihai Bendeac should call on a team of professionals to help him with the creative part and he should limit himself to making and acting in the film.
With a significantly better script than this combined with the Bendeac style, I think something more valuable could come out!

I expected this film to be bad, as (relatively high-budget) Romanian comedies usually are lately, but it was an utter disappointment. It was the first time I ever felt the urge to leave my seat in the cinema. The script is lamentable, the jokes are grotesquely lame, the anachronistic setting fails to create anything other than sheer confusion, and the crude caricatures of the characters were painfully lacklustre. Especially since I had high expectations from Bendeac who gives off the impression of an erudite. Also, the covert shoutout to gambling companies are simply disgusting. Overall, it's an hodgepodge meant for cheap laughs and commercial success.
It's a great laugh. If you want a cheap comedy and a good laugh, this is your go to movie for a free night. The characters were delicious, well build, the story was funny, and I liked the world created. There were funny situations and it was funny to see the characters react. However, if you a critic of comedy, I won't suggest this movie because you wouldn't enjoy the dumb cinematography. The ending was stupid but this is what makes this movie enjoyable. It's stupidity makes it fun. I suggest watching it with friends, I bet you would have a good laugh. Characters 7/10, Story 5/10, Conflict 6/10.
