Memorable, crazy movie

Instant Favorite.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

"Come te nessuno mai" is another teen film among so many. It could easily be an American teen film, only it's spoken in Italian, and politics plays a more important role than in their American counterparts (there's no left x right in the USA - American teenagers, as portrayed by American films, are more concerned with status and clothes. But politics is not really important for the story of "Come te nessuno mai" - it is just a game played by these children of well-to-do parents. If they were in USA they would be cheering for a basketball player.Another significant difference between "Come te nessuno mai" and its American counterparts is that the acting is much better and the romantic scenes have really a romantic feel.All in all "Come te nessuno mai" is entertaining, funny and sometimes moving, but it is a disposable movie - it's easy to see and easier to forget.Maybe one day there will be a director able to give a deeper portrayal of the teen world. Teenagers are not the cardboard figures usually shown in the teen films. They deserve better films.

This is a colorful, bright, energetic film, saturated with teenage ennui. It all comes rushing back at you, how everyday teenage life is the stuff of high drama, all the time, on all channels. The framework is a student rebellion, and a subplot is the reactionary attitudes of one boy's parents, big players, evidently, in the student riots of '68. The teenagers' contempt for adult society is so automatic it's almost an institution. It's funny, and a little depressing, to watch these kids make the same stupid assumptions you did X number of years ago. You realize they're unavoidable, these rites of passage.While it feels like a modern, Italian John Hughes movie, it delivers more than you'd expect from a movie so described. There are sharp, trenchant observations about life and what we expect from it. Some of the innocent questions a boy asks his older brother are so silly they're profound. I especially enjoyed the right-on portrayal of the boys being just as gossipy as the girls, if not more so. I hadn't expected to like this movie as much as I did. It's sweet, funny, and worthwhile.

This movie is funny and most of the humor is very very subtle. It is all about being a perfect adolescent (spelling!!). The movie is real in the sense that the characters are exist very much in the real world. You could easily associate your self and your friends with at least one of the characters in the movie. It is about a teen undergoing a whole gamut of emotions in the matters of dealing with parents, siblings, friends and especially issues concerning love. The movie also shows, very blatantly in fact, how parents are very uncomfortable when their kids behave like they did when they were young. It has issues like unrequited love and adolescent infatuations. Most of the humor comes from how a girl and a guy interpret a same scenario in entirely different terms...

A good movie that reminds everyone of the belief that what we live ( especially when we're adolescents) is new, unreapeatable and too intimate to be divulged, analyzed and explained to or by other human beings.And even if it's not that true, the outcome is that at least it's not phony that it's worth living. This is the translation of the italian title: literally "like you anyone ever", which means that your experiences when lived for the first time seem to be unique, solely faced by yourself and anybody else prior to you. Every adolescent goes thru a row of "Life facts" that will forge his personality and affect his mind in the years to come: that's what the flick is about. The way the director paces around these growing-up issues is delicate and cute, even if not shallow: important the clashes and approaches between the young main character and his parents and other two siblings (one elder and the other younger who looks "dead" but in the end will help him out opening his narrow mind) that remark the generational ditches but in the meantime render clear the identity of the way teenagers deal and have dealt with their "towards maturity" process. The scenario is profoundly italian ( western european but not american at all ): political fight into a high school, bourgeois educated households that have lived the years of politically led protests and now have become at the eyes of their kids too stiff, severe just like their school principals. Silvio lives,during the warped days of the occupation of his school,first make-out sessions, walks the rotting paths of a friendship wrecked by the raging adolescent hormones towards the same girl and at the end learns to recognize his young soulmate (or kinda). Great and hilarious the bonding scenes between Silvio and his more mature brother, between Silvio and his male friends and the girls of the school ( regarding sex, drugs, Politics and so on ). Just one flaw (if we wanna be pernickety and picky): No soundtrack. Same year, same issues but faraway from American Pie.
