It's been 10 years since the passing of Saverio Crispo, the great Italian actor. He left behind five daughters, each from a different relationship. To mark the anniversary of his death, mothers and daughters alike gather in his hometown... The famous Italian actor Saverio Crispo is dead for 10 years. A huge reunion in his home town is being organized in his honor. Saverio was a real Latin Lover 'who made the women dream'... His many ex-wives, daughters and great-grandchildren meet in the big family house. But despite the beautiful setting and the commemoration, many (family) problems come to the light. Revelations, arguments, love and jealousy ... the villa becomes the theater of a stormy reunion. Cristina Comencini tells us a history of women and their look at men, but also a film that pays tribute to the rich history of Italian comedy. (Cinemax)

The Italians came up with a great idea and wanted to base it on dialogue humor, like the French do best. Unfortunately, they did not succeed, and so this comedy oscillates between occasional funny moments and mostly cringiness and boredom.

If anybody gives this movie a bad rating the only reason I can think of is that he just doesn’t understand Italians. This movie is simply a proper Italian familia which is never boring and you won’t stop laughing. I’m glad that I got the chance to watch this comical movie at the Mittel Cinem Fest and could experience the whole movie theater laughing. At the beginning, the family relationships are very entangled, as is the life of the main characters, but slowly everything humorously unravels. Since I can’t give this slightly deranged comedy the full marks, I give it well-deserved 4*.
