05/28/2013 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 See more 06/25/2010 should have been a good movie. it had all the ingredients but no chef. See more 11/17/2009 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. See more 10/02/2009 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. See more 09/23/2009 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 See more 09/23/2009 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. See more Read all reviews
