I loved the movie. It's unpredictable, funny, and a little sad. It tells a story about parents and older children and how poor communication and some expectations can create adventures. Great family movie. Another aspect is the Italy. Loved the Italian language, the dynamic, the environment and of course the outfits. All the characters played their roles effortlessly. As a North American it's was interesting for me to see the work culture in Italy and some similarities and differences. Overall, I think this movie opens a dialogue between generations so if you are a parent and you don't know how to tell your older kids that you miss them, ask them to watch this movie. I loved it!

From It-lee! Directed by giovanni bognetti. When the two children (alessandra and emilio) move out, the parents (carlo and amelia) have empty nest syndrome. They are missing the children, who never call and seem to have forgotten the parentals. But we see that the parents are equally at fault. The running gag where emilio keeps getting accidentally beat up gets old. When a relative tells the kids the parents have come into money, they show up at the parents' house. To make it all look real, the parentals buy fancy clothes and rent fancy cars. And pretend to give huge donations to silly organizations. Which the kids resent, of course. When the parents finally decide to tell the kids there is no big inheritance, they even lie about that. It's pretty good! The ending is a bit over the top, but it is a family farce. I fear that some of the humor was lost in translation. The translation in subtitles into english was actually very well done. The opening credits say this is based on the french film "mes tres chers enfants", by alexandra leclere. That film is called "the price of parenting" in some countries. It's good, lightweight stuff. Nothing too serious.

This movie from Italy comes with a very childish script. The premise based on "empty nesters" trying to get their adult children to remain involved in their lives. They concoct a story to do this but it spirals out of control. The pace is slow, and the plot a bit thin on the ground. After a while, the movie seems to go nowhere and interest is lost. The acting seems forced and it perhaps is more geared to a local target audience in its country or origin rather than aiming for global appeal. The humor does not translate well. Discontinued watching half way through the film as it really did not hold interest.

I really enjoyed this heartwarming and funny movie about family and parents love for their kids. I laughed and cried. It was so much fun. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The agony and hilarity of parents as empty nesters and the lengths they go to to see their children! It is a familiar complaint but so cleverly depicted the selfishness of children, the parents unwillingness to let go. The family dynamic was excellent. The opening scene when the children left the home I was emotional but afterwards I literally laughed out loud. Having children at this juncture in my life and feeling the same way I could relate.
