I'll never let my mom choose a movie ever again.
Hungarian cinema proved themselves again that they can't produce anything watchable in the recent years.
I just can't understand that how is it possible that we made Ötödik pecsét, Indul a bakterház, Zimmer Feri, 2 Oscar-winning movies!!! And many other fantastic films, and then produce these colossal cinematic disasters, lacking in ablsolutely everything.
My expectations weren't high. I didn't expect an experience that changes my life, and I don't hate romantic comedies either. But this film ho boy...
First of all the dialouge. It's awful. I has no character, no charm no charisma (also true for the characters) and nothing like how Hungarians talk. It's crude, and unrealistic because they never use honorifics and dont understand satire. The characters are just as bad. All of them are annoyingly excessive. They icluded EVERY cliché they could.
1. The couple doesn't seem to be a match at first.
2. A crisis makes them know more about each other.
3. "Come I want to show you something" jarring cringe magical moment when they fall truly in love"
4. Some kind of drama happens so one of them feels betrayed now *very sad*
5. The guy saves the day last minute so they reconcile, and kiss. Happy End!
This maybe doesn't seem so bad but when the movie lacks any kind of self avareness about how ridiculous it is becomes verry annoying. The main problem in the film is that a firefighter wants to ask out his girlfriend to marry him by romantically coming to her window with those hoists that firefighters use for rescuing people from high places, and he happen to see that his girlfriend is cheating on him with a famous movie star, who plays a firefighter in his recent film. After seeing this, socked, he looses his ballance, and fells down from the hoist. (He suffers no injuries) After this incident he develops a fear for height (which is can be so intense that he cant climb on the first step on the ladder) and he has hallucinatios about the guy who his girlfriend cheated with teasing, and insulting him. The film revolves around this.
And this may sound very funny but if it was supposed to be persived as such, than the movie makes an awful job portraying that.
If this movie was a satire it would be fantastic. Seriously there is so much mind blowingly stupid moments in the film and the characters are so stupidly simple and cringe that it could be perfect.
