This small Italian film was an interesting find when it was shown in a cable channel. The movie takes aim at Italian health services that appears to be in disarray, the same way as in other countries, ours being not an exception. One can relate to the way the group of patients at a men's ward feel dealing with the bureaucracies of the system.
Dr. Sorvino, who is in charge of the ward, has a to share a lot of the guilt in the way the men rebel and decide to take justice in their hands in order to prove their point. What they do is to create a feast and enjoy themselves because most of them have been deprived of most things that as part of their health regimen.
The film, directed by Vincenzo Terraciano moves at a quick pace, no small accomplishment for the team involved in this project. The cast is excellent and play with conviction. Antonio Catania, Antonio Petrocelli, Giovanni Esposito, Franco Iavaroni do a wonderful job.
A fun comedy to watch as it will no doubt please lovers of the genre.
