This is one of those Spencer-Hill pieces that, if it were shorter, would be a lot better.

This will definitely not be my favorite film with the Italian duo, but on the other hand, it is still a good entertainment. It's sometimes so crazy that you just have to laugh. And even though the characters don't seem to like each other at first glance, it's nothing new and you still know that it will end well for both of them and they will eventually give each other a high five or something like that.
