Leonardo Pieraccioni (born 17 February 1965, Florence) is an Italian film director, actor and screenwriter, known for popular Tuscan-set comedies since the mid-1990s.

Often directs and stars in his own comedies; frequently works with Italian comic actors such as Rocco Papaleo, Massimo Ceccherini and Giorgio Panariello.

DeBaser reviews portray Leonardo Pieraccioni mainly as a director-actor of light Tuscan comedies, often criticised for predictable plots and limited acting range. Reviews range from dismissive to mixed, with occasional recognition of humane or sincere moments. Recurring themes: stagnation, stereotyped characters, and holiday-friendly simplicity.

For:Readers interested in contemporary Italian comedy, film critics, and viewers curious about popular Tuscan cinema.

 Discouraging picture of four characters searching for themselves, but so lazy and inept that they can't manage to put one foot in front of the other.

 He doesn't make you laugh, he doesn't evoke any emotion, he never surprises.

 Under the guise of a Christmas comedy, that occasionally elicits some laughter, this film deals, I believe unintentionally (but, after all, how many of our actions have outcomes different from those intended?), with universal feelings, presenting a gallery of characters, who without a perspective, without a system that holds and guides them towards a goal, escape from classifications, reject the very idea of masks and type, remaining unresolved, and pushing the viewer to question, even after the end of the film, their bizarre and implicit destinies, their fates, and the outcome of their personal quest for happiness.
