This certainly was one of the most entertaining czech/slovak movies I've seen since the 'fall of communism'. I found myself completely dragged into the movie from the very first minutes of watching it until its very end.
The events occurring to the main characters are funny in their randomness, unpredictability and madness, yet every one of the events has its unquestionable dramatic (or somehow sad) side which makes this movie so great. So does the 'grand finale' as well, with the aforementioned properties amplified to the level you are forced to laugh hysterically (well, at least I was) and in the very same moment to feel totally terrified because of what 'just' happened.
Ivan Trojan is adorable in this movie. He does an excellent job in his role. The rest of the cast is fine as well ... With the exception of Jana Hubinska. Don't get me wrong - I like her a lot with her big eyes and nice legs ;-) - but I just couldn't stand her speaking that strange mixture of czech words and slovak pronunciation and accent.
One vote-point down as IMO no movie should ever get a full vote of 10. The second point down for Jana Hubinska. Recommended to all 'late communist era'-aware Slovaks and Czechs out there.
