SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
It is true that "Amici miei" (My Friends) could actually give a clue to better understand the mood of this film. But another one that comes to my mind is "L'ultimo bacio" (The Last Kiss). Why? Because they are both, in a way, a harsh comment over a generation of ineffectual 30-year-old eternal university students, who had become a case-study of contemporary Italian sociology. A generation in which the film-director, Leonardo Pieraccioni, had the self-deprecation of putting himself as well. Well-played, funny and sad at the same time, "I laureati" was shot before "Il Ciclone", which had lost the melancholic touch and actually launched Pieraccioni in the big business as a comedy film director.
If you have seen the classic movie "amici miei", you might like "i laureati". Four young men with no interest in serious things, just wasting time and falling in love in the lovely Tuscany. This is the first movie of Leonardo Pieraccioni as director. Amazing.
