• A story about marriage and love

  poserpro2012-11-18

  I didn't expect to watch this movie in the first few seconds cos it was a movie spoken in a language I wasn't familiar with. I thought it was a Polish film, but after I checked IMDb, I knew I was watching a Czech movie of 2011. And it turned out to be a great comedy I would like to experience in my life too, I am glad I have watched it to the ending credits. It was actually a very funny and interesting movie that you would find it totally into it if you cherish the meaning of beautiful life, and marriage. The story slowly goes around the issue that keeping faithful to your spouse isn't easy for any one; in the movie, all lead characters are cheaters to their halves: the father-in-law, the husband, the mother-in-law, even the wife, but the ending was a happy one, despite the tragedy of the mother. This is my first review posted at IMDb, I didn't manage to write a complete review, but trust my word, it is such a great one to entertain you and yours.

• Less than sophisticated take on extra marital shenanigans

  Mozjoukine2014-12-24

  This Twenty First Century Czech notion of a raunchy comedy is pretty tacky despite the charm and film craft poured into it. Following the line of the director's previous ZENY V POKUSENI, lecherous cab driver Polívka involves his struggling restaurateur son-in-law Machácek with sex bomb red head Kerekes. The plot is protracted to a passably agreeable resolution in the posh Max Cafe, with babies all round to follow. The people and film craft are appealing, with the changing seasonal urban settings particularly striking in subdued colour but the story line is dodgy rather than winning.

• Infidelity in Prague

  Uriah432019-04-13

  This film essentially centers around two men named "Rudolf" (Bolek Polivka) and his son-in-law "Ondrej" (Jiri Machacek) who are both married and live in Prague. As it so happens, Rudolf is having multiple affairs and although Ondrej knows about them has kept this news from both his mother-in-law "Marta" (Simona Stasova) and his wife "Alice" (Petra Hrebickova). Then one day, while both of them have gone to play pool, a new prospective mistress for Rudolf by the name of "Carlotta" (Vica Kerekes) playfully puts her undergarments in the pocket of Ondrej's jacket and when Alice discovers it he naturally blames Rudolf. Alice then tells Marta and things take on a new life after that. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a fairly good comedy for the most part which benefitted greatly from the exotic location. Admittedly, it wasn't as light-hearted as I would have liked and it seemed a bit uneven at times but even so it was entertaining enough and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
