Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter A raucously fun cartoon that combines raunchiness, political satire and hip-hop to sometimes exhilarating effect.

Audience Member its kind of hard to get the humor without knowing the language and using subtitles but it still gives an idea of their culture. Still somewhat cool Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member should have been a good movie. it had all the ingredients but no chef. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun animated fantasy with a unique style. I lack the cultural background to understand a lot of the references in the story but what I, as an American, could follow was quite funny. Like the rap music it features, it has a decidedly dark sensibility in its take on ghetto life. The music is bright and pleasant and benefits from being subtitled -- I might enjoy American rap more if it had subtitles. The story is dumb, it is true, but it is clearly meant to be and it entertains while making its points effectively. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Bukurest uz neni... Stylovy pocin, za videni rozhodne stoji, nektere momenty me opravdu pobavily:-) Jinak me dostal Sandor Badar z Revizoru (Kontroll, 2003) jako jeden z tech fizlaku, hehe. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member its kind of hard to get the humor without knowing the language and using subtitles but it still gives an idea of their culture. Still somewhat cool Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A totally irreverant but fun look inside the European psyche. The best lines come when Bush appears towards the end, and the Hungarian rap songs are pretty interesting, too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
