I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Hey everybody, it seems the reccived judgement of this film is really low. I do have Hungarian bygone, i have learnt Hungarian history, know the Hungarian culture, traditions, conception, humour, ideology, lifestyle, conduct, furthermore I do understand this film, i do understand the jokes as a Hungarian, and i can say this movie watching as a Hungarian, GOOD and AMUSING. and if you haven't learn Hungarian history and legends, don't say the jokes are bad, just because you cannot catch up or realize them. And let me not to talk about the trashy and unworthy American "movies". And do not criticise the end of the movie, sitting on the Lánchíd above the Duna and watching the lights of Budapest is a good and nostalgic feeling for hungarians (as they have history for more than 1113 years, struggles for independence under the soviet and the Turkish domination, martyrs (Arad), Jagellos, Habsburgs, migrations, Petőfi, Mikszáth, Jókai, Trianon, Nándorfehérvár, political changeover, etc, etc.) And you'd better mind you can't understand the lyric of the music under the end scenes. bye

It was hell trying to get this movie but I finally got it...the problem is that it has no English subtitles:( I really need those subtitles otherwise I don't understand a word. can anybody please help me I really want to see this movie but I can't find English subtitles anywhere for it. The movie seems very interesting from what I've seen but alas...I don't understand much Hungarian and without English subtitles it's pointless...I'm from Romania and I'm sure any Hungarian on this forum knows it's hell trying to get anything made in Hungary down here. If anyone could help me with those English subtitles I would be very grateful.

This film is one of the post-communist era. The seven Hungarian tribe chiefs are about to start the conquest of the new homeland - just realizing that they not only have a hangover from last night's farewell party, but the tribes - the Hungarians - have already left. Looking for them becomes a quest in the hectic times of history... I loved the film, the music, the clips, the plots, the sophisticated self humour, the freshness, the originality, the easiness. Based on what all Hungarians learn in history lessons, imprinted in them, this is a new approach, a show, spiced with tiny bits that maybe you get for second watching only. First time that Hungarian filmmakers show that we don't always have to take ourselves so seriously. For Hungarians living abroad, this film is a drop of water in the desert, sunshine in the dark, cozy fireplace on the north pole, yes, somewhat nostalgic. For foreigners, probably impossible to explain everything, but the best way to get something about this nation. I warmly recommend to everyone.

This is the biggest piece of crap ever filmed. I know Hungarian history and I didn't crack a smile. Not even grudgingly. The audience in the theater was either running scared or was stunned into silence at this enormity. There is no plot, only a loose set of extremely lame gags tied together by the wandering chieftains, whose main characteristics are mostly expressed by the bodily noises they produce. They go through history for no apparent reason, and meet similarly insipid, one-dimensional characters disguised as historic personalities, which we are expected to find hilarious, God only knows why. I don't know any reason why anyone would want to see this or, for that matter, make this truly tasteless, unimaginative, amorphous, poor imitation of a third rate parody.
