Avanti!

I don’t understand why this short and original title was “translated” into Avanti, Avanti in german while nobody ever says “avanti” 2 times in a row in the movie, oh well. I should learn to enjoy things without paying attention to such small and inane matters. (Arr, I love the expression “inane” *g*)

Whether I buy a DVD or not mainly depends on the question whether I would want to watch the movie/the series again. With “Some like it hot”, it’s definitely the case. With “One, two, three”, it’s definitely not the case (although it is a very good movie!). But with Avanti, I’m not sure. I had to laugh out loud several times – the protagonists are just too hilarious *__* On the other hand, the (in my eyes unfortunately unattractive) woman was pretty annoying at the beginning – but it is the only flaw of the whole movie, if you ask me (to me, her constant complains about being too fat just wasn’t funny enough to play such an important role in the movie). Other than that, everything was right – just what you’d expect from Billy Wilder. The whole italian feeling (and in contrast, the 2 americans) was depicted with such an indescribable humour… not to mention Carlucci, my favourite character, who incorporates this feeling and has SO many gorgeously funny lines. The highlight of the movie obviously was THE love scene with Jack Lemmon and Juliet Mills *arrrr*

I would watch this movie again in order to show it people who didn’t watch it yet. I prefer not to watch comedies alone, because laughing alone isn’t that much fun *g* For a so-called movie evening (several people sitting together, crunching fast food and watching movies) I’d totally recommend this movie.
