Synopsis: Checco (Zalone) is born on the privileged side of life in an Italian small town, with a guaranteed job as a public servant. When a new reformist government vows to cut down on bureaucracy, Checco is forced to accept worsening conditions.
Review: In every country in Europe where you have civil servants the discussions on their privileged status are going well. The teachers, the administrative agent, etc. Checco Zalone has written a very nice comedy. Even if the civil servants are criticised for their latent corruption, they are not laughed at because of their pretended privileges. They are laughed at because of the will to keep one's pay (Checco) for the whole lifetime. Or because they make anything to get a promotion (Bergamasco).  On top of it, there is a hilarious behaviour of Italian expat and change of behaviour, that I can see almost every day in my neighborhood, at work or on the streets. The contrast of a guy who tries to adapt but has super conservative manners and a woman who really adapts and has an extremely alternative life is very funny to watch. There I found the bare level of humour. But also another more subtle humour in which people or groups are turned ridiculous for their behaviour or their surprise in front of alternative life style. The casting is quite well done, because all these characters can make caricatures with their faces and bodies. And most of them can also behave more subtly. One of the best comedies since a long time!
