A (too) comedy light and not very original
Fifteenth film directed and starring Leonardo Pieraccioni, It seems a lot Paris he confirms The taste of the Tuscan comedian for light and affectionate comedyfocused onThe family ties and on the small paradoxes of the newspaper. The movie starts with a good pacethanks to an original basic idea and a lively staging, supported by a close -knit cast. The tone is always disengaged But if on the one hand this makes the comedy accessible, on the other hand it has no depth in the moments that they would have deserved, however, greater emotional intensity.
The gags follow each other with sympathy, some more successful than others and not always original. The dialogues, rich in “Tuscanisms” and popular ways of saying, contribute to creating a family and relaxed atmosphere. The plot is inspired by a true story and this adds a touch of humanity to the film which also always stops on the surface, avoiding dramatic tones.
The result is a simple, kind comedy, which amuses without overdoing it. There is no shortage of small moments of tenderness and some reflection underground on the pass and on family relationships. If Those looking for strong narrative ideas or a pungent satire are disappointed, Who loves Pieraccioni will also find his usual lightness here. A film that is not surprising, but that lets itself be watched with smile.
