Turn the Other Cheek

This couple is still a bit weaker in terms of the film, but there are still scenes here that are simply enjoyable. Those two understand each other, at least in the context of the film, to the point that you root for their characters no matter what they play. And as a staunch atheist, thanks to them I was able to embrace even the religious themes, which are ultimately turned upside down. The moralizing is not that great, but even that is successfully undermined with humor. (27/04/2016)

A relaxed affair, at times interestingly different from the usual films by Spencer and Hill. I liked the revelation of G.'s father's past, the treatment of the sick, and of course the classic battles, which this time (except for the sped-up shots in the final one) were without unnecessary gags. I think the story of Turn the Other Cheek is also solid, although it doesn't come up with anything new or surprising. This time, the Italian madness has given way to a slightly calmer atmosphere, and that's a good thing. The film is funny anyway (Father Pedro and his anesthesia later used to keep the villains asleep). (09/02/2014)
