Review: After 5 minutes I thought the movie would turn to an Italian Breaking bad. And five minutes later Iwas laughing at dialogues becoming funny for their situation, and coming from Big Bang Theory. The mix makes a very funny comedy full of authenticity even if satyrical at the same time. The story is built on a cruel Italian reality that spread over a larger part of Europe and forces many brains to flee to Northern Europe or to the USA. It is both extremely true, extremely pessimistic and also extremely funny. I remember having met Italians speaking exactly the same way about the "political" things to get a job, to get anything and being more important than any competence for getting a job in Italy. The way they speak with all the faces is so authentic, I had the impression to meet some of my Italian friends. I found the acting very good.  From the cinematographic point of view, I have been also impressed by the colours. Sometimes bright colours as in the Italian Gialli of the 70s, sometimes neutral colours like in the reality movies of Nanni Moretti or Spaghetti Story. The music is very anglo-saxon but gives a lot of rythm and of fun as well.  The best movie since a long long time. Especially in the Sneak Preview!
