      Audience Member Great movie ! The original movie is a French version "Bienvenue chez les cht'i" (meaning "benvenuti al nord"), it is hillarious! You never know if remakes are going to be as good as the original, but this one is a hit! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny and chock-ful of irony, the film follows a predictable and structured comedy routine while exposing and capitalizing on Italian stereotypes along the way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Reproduces the spirit of the original movie. Very good to have some laughs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member everyone laughed in the cinema, especially the italians: a definite crowd-pleaser :D Bisio was funny to watch... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderfully-acted divisive italian comedy, playing up the stereotypes between the north and south. Bisio plays a middle-aged uppity manager who is forced to take up a 2 year post-office posting in southern Italy, due to miscalculated fraud in trying to land a job further north. His paranoid wife refuses to move down with him, but he ends up liking the hearty, laidback nature of the southerners a lot more than he'd feared. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Criticabile sotto molti punti di vista, probabilmente. Ma ad essere sincera io mi sono divertita e Bisio continua ad essermi simpatico. La trama è uguale a quella di Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis (Giù al nord) ma, alla fine, è una bella storia e se serve per far riflettere qualche leghista, ben venga! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
