With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and anyone who wants a laugh. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. If you loved Take the Money and Run, start here.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Carlo del Ponte, a pop star celebrated in the U.S., travels to his hometown of Santa Clara, Italy, to take some time off. Not only does Carlo find himself caught up in an armed robbery there, but his pretty cousin Antonella is missing her father and believes he has fallen victim to the old family feud between the del Pontes and the Tartinis. Now Carlo is supposed to help resolve the matter as peacefully as possible.
