This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Sorry, this movie sucks

Lack of good storyline.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mike Kanias who lives in New York is the fist cloned man and he owes 30 million to the mafia, to save himself decides to change positions with his clone in Karditsa. I love Karditsa feels like someone in Greece saw The Godfather, The 6th Day and Multiplicity and said hey? Let's make a greek movie with a bunch of good actors in silly roles with lot's of cursing, over the top and horrendous acting but also a plot that hardly makes even a bit of a sense. I Love Karditsa is probably and without a doubt one of the worst Greek movies i have seen in years. (0/10) (F)

This is the Greek equivalent of a bad, predictable Hollywood comedy, but its importance should not be exaggerated. It's true that it contains ham acting from beginning to end, the story is muddled at best, and there are no real moments for laughing out loud. Nevertheless, if you are interested in Greek cinema, and just want to pass some time, you can still watch it. Just don't expect belly laughs or a desire to share it with your friends.It's in essence just the story of a small town "get rich quick"-kind of guy who finds himself in the middle of some wild schemes involving the maffia, a beautiful, but manipulative stranger, and his doppelganger. It manages to be ludicrous, but without the proper structure of french farce. If you're looking for a Greek comedy that is genuinely amusing, I suggest "Nisos".

Synopsis: Weird science, 30 million dollars in missing mob money and a couple of hit men on a mission create a riotous comedy farce from filmmaker Stratos Markidis.When New Yorker Mike Kanias stops for some cigarettes and loses a truckload of mafia money he knows it's only a matter of time before the mob comes looking for him. But Mike isn't your average guy - he's the world's first human clone, created in the 70s by a group of pioneering scientists. Now to escape his pursuers he's traveling to the small Greek village of Karditsa to trade places with Grigoris Kanias, the man they cloned him from, but lazy womanizer Grigoris is in some trouble of his own.Review: The other reviewer Yiannis from Greece hit the nail on the head. Unless you are Greek I warn you this is lame and a throw back to Greek movies of the 1950s. In a bad way.All the male actors are extremely unattractive looking lot with one exception in a minor role. Lead actress is easy on the eye with her short boyish haircut. Whether she can act or is just eye catching I can't tell you. Betsy Malfa is engaging, attractive as the unhappy wife Maria.After seeing the very stylish Greek comedy 180 Digress (reviewed elsewhere here) a week earlier I thought this one might be the same. Greek island,some scenery, Katerina Papoutsaki eye catching. The reality is this feels more like a play, the production values are out of the 1950s, it rarely gets out of comedy first gear, being clumsy and vulgar rather than funny. If I saw another scene where someone appeared through an open window I'd scream. My wife who does speak Greek told me the sub titles which were fairly colorful were much more colorful than the spoken dialog.The only worthwhile points of the film maybe, if the portrayals are accurate, are that Greek society is basically matriarchal, the strange dowry system they have to marry off what are portrayed in the film as overweight, unattractive daughters.The only other positive apart from this being 90 minutes I will never get back was the theater last night was full and the foyer after wards was alive. There were certainly no Greek women needing dowries at the Como last night. Motto here with these film festivals must be if you find a really good film, like 180 Degrees, be content with that. Go chasing a second one and chances are you'll end up with a dud like this.

This film along with "Νήσος"/"Island" are the main cards for Greek commercial comedy this season. They contain both actors and lifestyle celebrities/models and target the mainstream public, while they include some edges for the more sophisticated.In this film which takes place in New York and a village in the vicinity of Karditsa, a provincial town of central Greece- the two main characters, whose appearance is identical, seek their private professional and sentimental goals while their fates intersect.Chance, sentimental complications,issues of locality and class, organized crime and modern science are blended in a merry-go-round satire of modern "Greek" reality which touches lightheartedly many not so light in themselves issues and resolves in a conciliatory happy end.If only those quandaries could be solved that easily in real life! The actors, TV and film actors of the national star-system support their flat and sometimes caricatured roles with ability. There is a combination of trash magazine culture and bucolic romance in the movie which may sound contradictory by definition but works well in practice.
