Waste of time

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Fact: Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo should be more widely known, simply because they deserve to be. They are not only funny, but also make the kind of national humor that could be imported. Perhaps this one is their best, and definitely would have deserved an Oscar nomination. The fact they didn't get one is mostly because it was marketed badly, and no one really believed that these three guys actually would have been able to create such a funny but also deeply involving comedy.There's more to this film than what meets the eye. Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo are three friends that are being exploited by their boss, who is also their father in law. Giacomo in fact is about to marry the last daughter available, because Aldo and Giovanni have already married the other two. Truth is that they have lost all their self confidence, and think that because they reached a certain age, they have to start a family and have a safe economic situation, even though this is making them deeply unhappy.The ending is liberatingly hopeful. But it's the way from Milan to Gallipoli that will show them and make them think. Sprinkled by many witty comedic sketches, they never appear to be out of place and fit in perfectly with the movie. It seems that whenever these three are on a car together, they can create comedy magic. But somewhere in between, they even leave room for sighs of pity, and their characters are so likable that the film really flies through.Please, spare an hour and a half to see this. You will want to see more from them, and you will not be disappointed. The rest of their resume involves witty comedy with a shocking and grotesque ending "Cosi' E' La Vita" (That's Life). A rom-com about misunderstanding and the never ending actor's dream "Chiedimi se sono Felice" (Ask If I'm Happy).Please, oh, please, producers worldwide. Take some notice of Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo. Their films match the quality of charming American independent comedies as "Little miss Sunshine", "Juno" and "The Squid an the Whale". In fact, if you have seen these and liked them, watch Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo, and you will not be disappointed! WATCH FOR THE MOMENT...when Giovanni and Giacomo on the front seats pick out a song to listen to. Hilarious!

As a recent Italian emigrant, I was able to fully enjoy this wonderful, sunny movie that has brought back to mind a lot of innuendos and down-to-earth jokes that, certainly, are not meant to be racist: quite the opposite, actually: every joke is firmly tongue-in-cheek.The authors-actors also dare to play themselves, using their real names: this allows them to freely play with several styles of direction, always from their point of view, which somebody may define iconoclastic. The truth - in my personal opinion - is that they have full confidence in their own sense of humour and thus they have created a homage to more serious movie genres - from neorealism, to westerns, to 50's horror.This is like Carl Barks when painting with oil: using a formal medium to portray less serious things.

Nobody thought the first film of the three comedians could be so amusing and technically good. Nobody thought three comedians coming from TV can make film so well. In my opinion this film reaches peaks that remind Tarantino (!).If we add to this that the humor of this trio is irresistible we have one of the greatest Italian films of '90s. I love it.

I saw it for more then 5 times. I enjoy it every time. I can not wait till the new film will be released "così è la vita". A nice gift for Christmas.
