Lítá v tom

Nice surprise. The movie has a fun premise, where Kryštof Hádek has a sick mother, she probably doesn't have much time left, so he decides to please her by introducing his pregnant neighbour as his girlfriend and also by being a father, only it all gets classically out of control. Kristína Svarinská was divine, she played great, it's funny, sweet and touching and nicely made. I enjoyed it I'm happy to rate it. 7/10. (2024.04.21)

Lukáš's seriously ill mother will probably not be around for much longer, so he decides to please her and convinces his pregnant neighbour Natalia to pretend to be his girlfriend. But when her mom recovers, the two have to keep lying, and since we're in a romantic comedy, it's obvious what's going to happen. The film relies on tried-and-true clichés, but unlike its competitors, it knows how to work them. Tomáš Dianiška's directorial debut manages to be funny and touching at the right moments, has likeable characters and looks unexpectedly good. Too bad for the unnecessarily frantic pace, which makes some plot lines fizzle out a bit and others are a somewhat redundant. Overall, though, a very decent genre film that doesn't shy away from copying from more famous models, and highly above average by Czech standards. (2023.12.15)
