Purely Joyful Movie!
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
View MoreMany stories of people facing various problems in Warsaw intersect with some very funny results. There are gangsters, wanna-be gangsters, stoners, an ambitious music student, prostitutes, and ex-girlfriends among others.The film, obviously inspired by "Pulp Fiction" was a big hit in Poland and now is a movie people there quote. The unofficial sequels fared pretty well too and overall it is good dose of entertainment. Many Polish films by directors like Wajda, Kieslowski, Bajon and others were always so serious. Either adaptations of literature (which is very centered on Poland and not very accessible to the movie going public outside of Poland - history scholars being the exception), or politically themed films that critique the often volatile situation that Poland has faced throughout its turbulent history."Chlopaki Nie Placza" provides a total break from that and gives the viewer pure entertainment without it being as gritty and bloody as "Psy." No more painful reminding about how much damage World War II caused, no more fear of the Red Terror and Iron Curtain, just a funny -though improbable - look at contemporary society. --- 8/10Not Rated, but has strong profanity, some violence and drug use which would give it an R from the MPAA.
View MoreEntire film wasn't brilliant. Boring at moments, banal structure, but still worth to watch it! Why? Becuose every kids in Poland know that "kiedys chlop zakladal babie chomato i oral nia pole!" or "chcialbym byc jak Tony Halik". Polish teenage society is cruel, so I also MUST know few lines from such films as "Killer" or "Poranek Kojota" to survive.I admit that many jokes are hard to understand, if you are not polish.Laska (with his ganja-mutated voice) is the best! Typical teenage from Warsaw! Dublicate of my school-friends... 10 for Laska's character, 6 for all the rest. Average: 8.
View MoreI'm a great fan of polish cinematography, although I have to watch all these movies subtitled. However, I was told that "Chlopaki nie placza" is the worst movie ever. I've seen it, and I have to say: One of the most hilarious movies ever made! I can promise you will find this film amusing, when you'll see 'Laska' coming home, reminiscing his dad or 'Grucha' wearing his pink sweater and falling in love with the prostitute. Many people may have a lot of criticisms about this film; that it shows a very silly story or that it is a copy of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction". Well maybe it is. But it definitely works for this film. MUST BE SEEN!!!
View MoreWhat a horrible, horrible piece of trash. Could somebody please explain to me WTF is going on with the polish cinema? This film is just another example of wasted celluloid. I simply cannot understand why anybody would give this movie a positive review or rating because it fails miserably in every aspect. The acting is horrible. The script is horrible. The direction and editing are laughable.
