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).

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.

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.

It is nice to see how Jiří Bartoška recovered from his illness. I even think that it made him truly enjoy this role. Of course, it would not be the same without the (more than one) cigarette. I have to thank him as I have not laughed this whole-heartedly for a pretty long time. And what’s more, this movie really got me thinking about the domestication of men. Finding the right level is really a form of art. What Taťána Vilhelmová and Eliška Balzerová did in this film will haunt my dreams for a long time. But it is visible that they utterly enjoyed it, and they were not alone in this. Even the rebellious Jiří Havelka or Jakub Kohák were excellent. I would not expect to see Jakub in the best, and at the same time the roughest, scene of the whole film. I’m bowing down before him. While Theory of Tiger does not deserve the perfect five star rating, at least it is worth the proper four star comedy rating, and I plan on watching it a few more times in my life.

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.

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.
