What I Have I Hold, Gentlemen...!

I don’t get it, 58% on Filmbooster, but I think it’s comparable to the excellent first part. (17/12/2007)

An illustrative example of a normalizing comedy – a stupid plot that has only one purpose: to fool the viewer and just put a normalizing image of the world in between speeches, curled up in a feeble satirical robe. A very awkward condemnation of Czech fraud, greed and, of course, that our lives here are not that great. True, we don't have shit in our stores, but the dollar is steadily falling. Schulhoff is not one of the worst creators of the normalization phase - thanks to the acting performances it is still possible to present this comedy in attractive times, but its stupidity does not dull it much.

As sometimes happens, the sequel doesn't quite work... but here it's not too hard a fail. I always like to see typical Czech features without the frills. The Bartáčeks and Novaks will get into it again and it will be a romp! (02/11/2010)
