Abatantuono at his best. Probably his best performance ever! There are gags in this movie that are gonna change your idea or having fun in a movie (if you understand Abatantuono's Italian, of course), the fake phone call from Budapest is funnier than you could ever imagine. I'd say that in general the Tirzan character is the most precious and well mastered, but the 'Ras della fossa' is exceedingly good too: most of the gags related with his affair with Stefania Sandrelli are over the top! You can't miss this! I can't just understand why so little comments are posted about this milestone of Italian cinema. This movie is a must! It's one of the funniest Italian movies ever made! I think the problem is that we Italians are so ignorant and we just don't know English well enough to post a comment, so I encourage the American film lovers to learn Italian, watch and enjoy this movie, and then start posting something about it in English! I'd love to exchange with someone my opinions about the best gags in the movie!

this movie, thanks to the three characters played by Abatantuono, is a milestone of the so called trash movies, depicting the world of italian soccer clubs, really amazing. A masterpiece of funnines, but almost untranslatable....in english
