Láska na špičkách

Coppélia Kerekes and the Firebird… Firstly, it's Flashdance in the fourth price category. Then, a half-naked firefighter brings home a prize from the arcade in his T-shirt, and a tipsy mother, who left her daughter at home for hours with a militant old man, wants to do something with his "lizard." The lizard is pursued even when the daughter has a fever in the next room, leading to the dilemma of whether to call her a slut. How bizarre! Is the screenwriter a fan of Massimo from 365 Days? Familiar faces, familiar story arc, familiar outcome. I understand the attempt to entertain the target audience, but all I felt was awkwardness over the crudeness. (27.03.2023)

Surprisingly, the opening credits were the movie's highlight because it all went downhill from there. The movie's only positive aspect was that I got to see my favorite redhead, but even her role was a disaster. I do understand why some actors agreed to act in this pathetic movie because I know very well the bills don't pay themselves. But Alena Kroupová is not likely to become my favorite screenwriter. Her movie suffers from numerous clichés, unconvincing child performances, unconvincing performances in general, a dreadful storyline, unlikeable characters, and some scenes so ridiculous that I had to check if my eyes hadn't started bleeding, such as the scene of pushing the car out of the puddle or being wrapped in a wet sheet. / Lesson learned: It was a traumatic experience for me, but still better than Eva Toulová's work.
