who was involved?
Two cousins divided by a family feud find themselves entangled in the management of the family hotel, prey to extortion by gangsters.
This was the first time I watched a movie by the comedy duo Ficarra & Picone, whose series
Incastrati I had ejoyed.
At first, Valentino Picone's overacting made me cringe, but the movie soon found a reasonable balance. It was entertaining enough to make me curious to watch other movies featuring the same duo.

who was involved?
When a small town's new mayor applies to the letter his election promise of applying the law — ending with cronyism and the practice of turning a blind eye —, chaos ensues.
According to several Italians I've spoken with, this pleasant film by comedy duo Ficarra & Picone does a great job of showing how things work (or don't, depending on perspective) in Italy.

Once Upon a Time in Bethlehem

Il primo Natale)

who was involved?
A priest and a thief are propelled to Judea in the moments preceding the supposed birth of the key figure of christianity. As is typical of comedies where a large budget is spent on costumes and action scenes, the humor part is woefully neglected. I gave up before the half-hour mark, but this movie might be closer to home for you if the christian faith is important to you.

who was involved?
From what I could tell from the movie's first 22 minutes, it consists of a series of vignettes of scenes from the lives of several couple — at least five, I didn't count. I figured that if the movie had failed to entertain me by that point, it wasn't worth insisting.
Note that although this film features the Ficarra & Picone comedy duo, they didn't direct it.
