Everyone in the Italian village of Torresecca knows that the Tucci family is poor. But despite their desperate lack of money, they strive to be happy. All that changes on the day that they win the super-lottery of 100 million euros. Moving into a luxurious hotel suite in Milan, they begin spending like there's no tomorrow. It's up to their newly hired butler to inform them that being rich today is not what they think it is – not Ferraris, but bicycles, not flashy meals, but vegan food, etc. And when one member of the family falls in love with a waitress who hates rich people, the Tuccis find themselves pretending to be poor again. With all the confusion surrounding their new wealth, the family begins to realize that rich or poor, they're happiest when they're just themselves and they're together. (HBO Europe)

A really crazy comedy, with typically Italian shouting and catchphrases so brutal that I had to try really hard to process them. There is no point in listing them here, as Enšpígl already did that for me. I’ll just add that the next day during lunch at work I was thinking whether I should have the food typical for the poor – Wiener schnitzel, or oriental roast beef with dumplings. The schnitzel won.

An excellent Italian comedy that benefits from an idea that is almost made for the comedy genre. A socially deprived family living in the middle of nowhere wins 100 million euros in the lottery and has to keep the winnings a secret from all the locals because everyone in the village wants a share. A well chosen family, solid gags, great pacing, about five long bouts of laughter and scenes you'll want to play for everyone you know. Seen it three times already and a hit every time. The scene in the restaurant is a comedic gem! 90%
