Great Actor, Terrible Movie - snowbird
I can't help but feel that the only reason this movie was made is because Roberto is awesome. But even that fact, when framed in such a dismal movie cannot make this worthwhile. Definitely not recommended. Only 2 stars because Roberto can't help but make me smile, even in such a strange, pointless film.Seeking any help to repair a bad movie. - movie_goer
Roberto Bengini is my favorite Italian Actor a ball of energy and a smile that could light up the world and more, failed to keep me slightly in tune with this movie.
Starting his career even before i was around, this movie should have be described as a silent flick. Not much material or a base to hold on anyone can pull out a camera, stumble around a school. Roberto is greater then great..But this movie did absolutely nothing for me.
