Imagine the modern Italian executive not being able to communicate with the new English people that have bought the firm where he has worked for quite a number of years. That problem has to be solved by Sergio Colombo, if he wants to continue working for the company. As the summer vacation approaches, he decides to take a remedial course in English. The only thing is that he enrolls in an Oxford boarding school for small children. Imagine Sergio's surprise when he has to put his large frame into a bunk bed while sharing a room with a boy that could be his grandchild!
This Italian comedy showed recently on cable, and while it is a film that was made as a vehicle for its star, it has a lot of funny moments, thanks to Paolo Villaggio, who makes a perfect Sergio. The comedy was directed by Carlo Vanzina who also co-wrote the screenplay with Enrico Vanzina. The film has a pleasant film and it has to be viewed for what it is, a comedy. The five children are good, never bratty. They bond with Sergio in unexpected and surprising ways when they find out about his kindness.
