Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
ilovetoseethemovie The film is about two guys buying one used car and then customizing it properly for traveling in pleasure as planned. Later on the road, they meet one girl and pick her up, without any previous knowledge of her. Maybe, it is just a fun of life with this female stranger as companion. However, there is yet another man, apparently her lover, driving his car to follow her. But, he can't catch her because two guys have some luck, during escape. Nobody knows what is going on, in the past, between this girl and that man. Moreover, she is not willing to tell those two men about her life, when asked. As time goes by, friendship between two men and one girl blossoms. Finally, the audience will see the unexpected ending.The plot is simple, but attention-riveting. All the situations among two guys and one girl, along the road, are really funny. The scenes of rolling a tire down the hill and that girl peeing beside the car are nice. Landscape in this film is visually beautiful since suburban vista in Czech countryside is totally divine and magnificently photographed. Soundtrack is also splendid. Most importantly, all three protagonists are a joy to watch and undoubtedly charming, although relatively unknown to worldwide. And you can't predict how the story ends, for sure.Do not miss this film, if you have your chance.
Martin Jizda, has Anna ( played by the beautiful and talented Anna Geiserova ) hitchhiking in some of the most beautiful countryside Central Europe has to offer. She is picked up by Honza and Radek two friends who have recently acquired a beaten up old car which they CUSTOMIZE themselves, the result is a head-turning cabriolet. The aire libre feel of the car gives the director full licence to capture the passing countryside and quaint villages and towns. This film is visually a real gem. It has a FRENCH GENRE feel with odd moments such as Anna stopping at the side of the road to have a pee, a fact which she makes no attempt to hide. Long periods of silence are a perfect match for the greenery and the rustic/disrepaired buildings. During one stop we discover that Anna is the object of desire not only of the men she travels with but of a man in a sporty car.........a memorable ending follows
