      Audience Member bonne performance de melki mais ca suffit pas pour tenir le film qui manque de rythme Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member omg, on dirait un vulgaire telefilm. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I had so much fun watching this film. Both in French and Italian (set in Lyon and Turino) the main character is a neurotic writer at a loss for inspiration when his Italian father dies - who's a plastic surgeon in Turino. Upon his return for the funeral, he discovers his father's very young and busty television personality widow, several mistresses and possibly a brother or sister or two. Very much and Italian film: cheeky and corny at times and all the hilarious soap opera drama you could imagine, and I adored the singing number at the start of the film (in Italian, a cheesy kind of song of course) which had me going "wha...?" at first but I totally loved it. I can't describe it any other way but to say it was SO much fun to watch! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member J'escomptais a une comedie de moeurs acide : il n'en est rien. De l'humour, il y en a, mais dans un registre assez plan-plan et c'est tout juste si on parvient a sourire a quelques reprises. D'un autre cote, on sent bien que Made in Italy avait autre chose en tete que de faire rire (au hasard, nous expliquer que l'Italie "berlusconienne", c'est vraiment la lose), mais du coup, ces perpetuelles pointes d'humour affaiblissent considerablement le propos. Made in Italy ressemble en fait a l'oeuvre d'un franco-italien qui voudrait bien regler ses comptes avec son pays natal mais ne peut pas s'empecher de l'aimer plus que tout en meme temps. Une schizophrenie qui se ressent tout au long de cette realisation boiteuse, qui hesite sur la conduite a adopter et oscille maladroitement entre serieux et absurdite. Malgre une direction d'acteurs au dessus de tout soupcons, la seule conviction qu'on emporte est qu'il y avait matiere a faire beaucoup mieux avec un tel sujet. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm the only one I know who linda liked this film :P Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
