Review of I fichissimi

I fichissimi (1981)
9/10
Romeo and Juliet in 80's Milan
20 January 2006
A modern Romeo and Juliet. Romeo (Calà) falls in love with Donato (Abatantuono)'s sister. They belong to rival gangs and the jealousy of Donato will lead to a series of surreal events.

If you like this kind of movies you'll laugh your a$$ out with it! In my opinion the best among Abatantuono's trash comedies. There is no time to catch your breath in between the continuous gags. The presence of Calà (here playing a typical Milan citizen) gives a perfect counterpart to Abatantuono's southern style.

Unfortunately most of the funniest things in the movie are based on slang (Abatantuono speaks a language he only knows!) so only Italian speakers can fully appreciate it.

PS: the title literally means "The very cool ones"!
