THE REVIEW
Don't kid around guys, my boyfriend told me the other day, okay let's rent this DVD, okay I say, although I wanted to do something else rather than sit for 2 hours watching these things, and what can I say at the end of the movie?
The Italian stereotypes by Muccino have just turned into American stereotypes... come on, don't joke around... it seemed to me like a hunt for the Oscar... full of clichés, good sentiments, and a happy ending that left the message money=happiness... I admit that Will Smith is a good actor and can carry the whole film very well... but if he has to go to America to make these movies then I prefer the ones he used to make in Italy, banal, but at least you could watch them lightly and sometimes even have a laugh... solid 1.
I'm in the mood for transgression, for something tough, not these things that just make you deflate.
