Chlap na střídačku

Das ist kein Film, das ist ein schlechter Witz. Und nach dem, was ich im Trailer der französischen Version von Ménage à trois - Zum Fremdgehen verführt gesehen habe, hätte das tschechische Team viel talentierter sein müssen als die Freunde von Petr Zahrádka, um aus dieser Scheiße etwas zu machen.

I’m afraid I’ve already gotten used to the fact that the genre of comedy in the Czech film context is typically a guarantee of total boredom. This case was no different. As usual, the creators favored product placement over filmmaking. I'm not surprised, these films are made for sponsors, so why worry about the viewers? For me, a multiple-time winner of the most "inconspicuous" product placement was Bandi, advertising its product in a delicate and subtle way, real smooth. Otherwise, as is typical of this genre: not a single likeable character, totally pathetic attempts at humor, homosexuals - check (although I feel the creators were rather politically incorrect in this respect. I smell a lawsuit), a decent idea - terrible execution. I just felt bad for Iva Janžurová. (24.11.2020)

I usually steer clear of sexist comedies, but I was tempted by the relatively good cast. The story of a man who is borrowed by his wife and mistress is very far-fetched in places, but I forgive the filmmakers. There were some moments that I quite enjoyed, although as the finale approached, there were more and more scenes that I would rather not have seen. The resulting impression from this movie is rather ambiguous. I can't decide whether this is a pretty good feet-up movie or else embarrassingly crude entertainment. (50%) (16.04.2022)
