Ferie d&apos;agosto

Cute

This movie feels like a movie you&apos;ve seen a thousand time: it&apos;s the summer-holiday-family feud-misunderstanding comedies, a genre of movie that is always done but rarely done right in italy. In this case, Virzi manages to craft the perfect sample of this genre, that works enough to be entertaining and is also slightly smarter than the other similar movies. Performances were mostly good (except for most of the child actors), the plot is engaging and easy to follow. The characters are not too original, not for Virzi anyway, but they work. It&apos;s a very good combination of satire and comedy and a genuine melancholy at the bottom. The political part might be a little forced at time, but it works because the characters literally force it into the plot. You ultimately hope for these two families to reconcile, it brings you close to everyone&apos;s political perspective without harsh judgement, even though it&apos;s a left-leaning movie in its &quot;ideology&quot; it doesn&apos;t shy away from showing the humanity and inhumanity on both sides. This movie is comfortable, it&apos;s an easy watch that still manages to be smart in the end.
