Customer Reviews

Eraserhead meets The Aristocracts meets Fellini.
Very weird, with an Eraserhead type of vibe. Lots of profanity, almost as much as in "the Aristocrats". Random flashes of insight and interesting visuals a la Fellini. Not for everyone, but I'm glad I saw it.

Roberto great, movie stinks
Roberto Benigni is a wonderful funny actor. I love his movies such as Johnny Stecchino and The Monster, but this movie is the worst movie by far I have ever seen! I never thought Benigni would be in such a horrible, movie. It had no plot, no funny moments of any kind. If I could have returned it I would have. If you love Benigni, do not buy this movie! I had to give this a one star for the review otherwise it would not let me submit it, but it shouldn't get any stars, it is that bad.

Worst movie ever.
I couldn't make it 20 minutes into the film. It is beyond vulgar and disgusting. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. It's a crying shame really because I love Roberto Benigni.
