Mediterraneo (1991)
Funny
22 October 2006
This is a enjoyable, funny movie about a group of Italian soldiers in an island, with only women and children. The screenplay is the best thing of this movie, and it makes it worth watching. The characters are funny and ridiculous, and at the same time you connect with them; the storyline is simple, but interesting, even if the romances are a bit idiotic; and the dialogs are usually great, even if sometimes sappy. Besides, Italian sounds beautiful. The acting is mostly good, especially because the screenplay helps a lot. The men are all funny and make a strong ensemble, and all the women have to do is look cute. The direction is very nice, not brilliant. The sets are great; the island looks like a paradise, and you truly envy the characters for being there. The cinematography could have used the set in a better way; it wasn't bad, just you feel like it could have been better. It has touching moments, and most of it is just laugh out loud funny. It's no masterpiece, but certainly it's hilarious 8/10
