The last drop for Jan's resolution is the voluntary death of his father-in-law, whose strength and patience ran dry. Grandma (Iva Janžurová) made decisions about Grandpa's life, old age as well as the funeral. Jan is sure that he and his wife Olga (Eliška Balzerová) are on the same route. He recalls his past life when he used to have his own will and dreams and he wants to live again with dignity and freedom. He longs to control his own life again. And his solution is escape from the present life. In this movie we watch, in parallel, the fates of Jan's married daughters Olinka and Alenka (Táňa Wilhelmová and Pavla Beretová) and his sons-in-law Erik and Pepík (Jiří Havelka and Jakub Kohák).

Theory of Tiger was great fun. A good film about tolerance and the lack of it. Putting aside the financial situation of the main character, it’s a film about ordinary people’s lives. I know a lot of couples who are exactly like that. The cast was well-chosen, and I enjoyed the film throughout.

One of the best Czech films I've seen in years, especially in the way it is presented. It's civilian, it's not about anything grand, it's simply about life, and it's not necessarily entertaining. But the actors, especially Jiří Bartoška, prove that small stories aren't insignificant, and mastery can be demonstrated even in them, both in acting and filmmaking.

I don't think we have a more charismatic actor in our country than Jiří Bartoška. He's just so good in front of the camera. And with The Tiger Theory he scores full marks with me. Everything natural, no spasms, and good humor, this time making fun of us women. So give Czech film a chance and go to the cinema again. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I was, for sure... 4.5 stars.

The Tiger Theory Is the best cinematic answer to the question of why I am and always will be a bachelor :-). It is complex, witty, cute and melancholic, with a great script and cast. And the best scene is (paradoxically) the one by the car, where Jakub Kohák’s character explains to his sister what path he’s chosen to achieve happiness.

I haven't seen more garbage in the field of Czech romcoms in a long time. It would be nice to take off the rose-tinted glasses from time to time and realize that the mere casting of Bartoška in the lead role cannot cover up all the glaring flaws. As always, only tasteless female viewers who don't know the difference between a feature film and a TV series will enjoy it.
