3.5/5
It's a warm, enjoyable, funny and sometimes wise exploration of family, friendship, faith, fallibility and fatherhood in a double sense of the word. Go to Full Review

Ken R 03/26/2023 God Willing – Fresh and Observant Like a fresh breeze from a window that's been opened in a room full of stale air this debut motion picture from writer/director Edoardo Falcone begins and ends on a high note of originality. Not just a simple comedy but an astute observation of the maladies that so many suffer from in ‘modern' society. Hardly a wrong step is taken within its wise insights as we are taken by surprise through a diverse range of rapidly paced positive delights. Often on the way, nothing quite appears to be what it seems, but that could be from our own jaded expectations from so many other wannabe social comedies, which tend to fall into the trap of cheap slapstick. This is slick moviemaking with a cast that never puts a foot out of place. Maybe they knew they had a pearl of a script and a director they had full confidence in. Co-writer Marco Martani must also be congratulated along with cinematographer Tommaso Borgstrom. The brisk music score from Italian Rock star (Snaporaz) and winner of the Ennio Morricone award for film scoring; Carlo Virzi is another asset. A feel-good film with much to say, without at any time being manipulative. See more Pedro G 07/01/2021 Normalita película, una cinta agradable para pasar un buen rato. Presenta una historia bastante simple, que puede sacar algunas buenas risas y también hay algunos momentos que logra generar nervios. Sin embargo, no es tan memorable, es mas bien una película para ver en familia cuando no tengas nada que hacer. Por otro lado, las actuaciones son geniales, principalmente las de Alessandro Gassman, Marco Giallini, Laura Morante, etc. También hay que destacar el diseño de producción, que es de lo mejor de la película. En conclusión, una cinta bastante simple, con la que pasas un buen rato ya que tiene algunos chistes buenos que funcionan a mi parecer. La recomiendo.
