Audience Member Un film con poco significato, non fa ridere, non fa pensare e non si fa neanche ammirare per bellezza. Il cast mi aveva incuriosito ma il film e' un'insieme di idee che pero' non spiccano mai il volo completamente. Sembra che il regista abbia scritto questo film con scarse idee e in 5 min e abbia tirato su' una stora con quel poco che aveva, che poi assomiglia molto alla scena dove Orlando cerca disperatamente di farsi venire un'idea al ristorante mentre parla con l'attrice famosa. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Il film ha poco significato...cerca uno spunto per tutta la sua durata, ma alla fine niente da fare. la poca verve iniziale viene bruciata con l'avanzare del film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member - film debole - rari momenti riusciti - attori al minimo Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Genial, entertaining movie. An Italian film director who has passed his prime gets trapped into producing a small town's traditional Passion play. He gets a lot of help from a reformed burglar who took drama classes in prison and a lot of frustration from his "Jesus", a scene chewing weatherman who fancies himself a method actor. It's not "Waiting for Guffman", but it is funny and even works in a few simple spiritual messages along the way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
