Indubitably one of the genre’s worst. Albeit not as tawdry as Crea’s creations on a purely technical level, this one embraces every single thing you would dread to see in a movie of this sort: slapstick-over-story content, no central storyline to speak of, horrendous acting and generally no originality whatsoever. The reason why it is indeed one of the worst is because this is the most banal, wretched, laziest hack job you could picture in your wildest nightmares. Apart from being bland and puerile, it isn’t even that vulgar and it is outstripped by Più forte sorelle in this regard by a wide margin.

The primary issue appears to be that aside from the general meritlessness, its comedy is so mind-numbingly hackneyed it doesn’t even gratify on the lowliest level either, it even fails to distinguish itself by reason of its crassness, which is the only conceivable way any of this could have worked. Anybody who dares to call this or that Fidani flick the worst entry in the genre should seriously see this and then hang their head in shame. So yes, the reputation is entirely deserved, it’s true, all of it. This is no joke, don’t let your curiosity get the best of you, avoid at all costs (or not, depending on your motives), this one is actually kryptonite. The one review on IMDb from a French critic is pretty hilarious, Fidani vindicated at last.
