What makes this movie Worth Watching

Boris is an Italian comedy group known for their surreal and deliberately low-quality humor. The film is a natural extension of their TV series 'Boris', a satirical look behind the scenes of a terrible Italian television drama, and continues their critique of Italian media and culture.

Absurdist humor that consistently subverts expectations.
Excellent comedic timing and physical comedy from the entire cast, especially the main trio.
Satirical take on various genres, including road movies, buddy comedies, and even art cinema, making it unpredictable and fresh.
The film's low-budget aesthetic and amateurish feel are intentional and contribute to its unique charm.

Fun Facts

The film features cameos from many well-known Italian actors and personalities who are in on the joke.
The fictional drama series 'Gli occhi del cuore 2' from the TV show is referenced throughout the movie, creating a meta-narrative for fans.
The film's ending is intentionally ambiguous and absurd, reflecting the overall tone of the movie.
