Reading the reviews that praised the movie and the acting and the director's skills I decided to watch this movie. The plot was very interesting. After actually watching it I wish I hadn't. It is one of the most boring movies I have ever see and I have seen a lot. Everything was happening so slowly it could kill you. I kept waiting for the big scene, the big action something but it never happened. I didn't see the salience of the racial issue. At least not in the extent I hoped for. The movie focused more in the relationship between the 2 protagonists than the racial discrimination. I was very disappointed. I felt I lost 2 hours of my time for no reason. It was boring and unbearable to watch til the end.
This film is brilliant. Is one of my favourite Greek movies. The story is about a small Greek Island where a wealthy man dies and is willing to give his money to the teacher, the priest, the mayor and the police officer ("the authorities") of the island. However this will happen only if they accept to be read out loud in front of all the people one letter that the deceased man has written for each on of them. That's how all the fun starts with as all of them have been involved with illegal activities and have many things that don't want to come to light. This event sparks off hilarious reactions and conditions presenting though the ugly side of a small community. It shows what happens behind closed doors and that nobody is who they seem to be with a cosmically way. It's a great comedy film with suspense , action and plot twists that keep the viewer's attention till the end. I highly recommended it.
I don't know why this movie has such low score on the imdb. I found this movie pretty entertaining and funny. Lindsay is very good at this role as well as Chris Pine. And the other cast members are acting well too . The script is unique and funny. Although it has some kind of science fiction elements it's a rom comedy. I like the story a lot. It is not just another rom comedy. It's actually a very funny film. I have seen this movie many times and every time I laugh the same as the first time. I think it is underrated. People should definitely give it a chance if they are looking for a film of this genre.
