4/10
A comedy on ice
21 April 2024
In an anticipation that promised humor and brilliance, "Metti la Nonna in Freezer" disappoints, showing an inability to maintain coherence and an inadvertently confusing conclusion. Despite the undeniable chemistry among the main actors, the film suffers from a screenplay that attempts to "stretch the soup" with tedious subplots. The young and talented Miriam Leone, in the role of the struggling restorer, tries to breathe life into a complex character, but the plot fails to hold up. The Marshal of the Financial Guard played by Fabio De Luigi, although impeccable in his comedic role, cannot compensate for the weakness of the screenplay. The female component of the cast offers comedic moments, but the plot gets lost in improbable arguments, resulting in being tiresome and unconvincing. Barbara Bouchet's cameo, though surprising for her acting ease, is short and not enough to lift the film. The film's rhythm is disturbed by predictable sub-stories. Despite some interesting insights into everyday Italian life, the black comedy fails to stand out in the national cinematic landscape. The initial idea, albeit promising, gets diluted in a confused and underdeveloped plot."Metti la Nonna in Freezer" is a comedy without infamy or praise, failing to evoke laughter or leave a lasting impression. The talented actors try to lift the film, but the lightweight screenplay and overly simplified ending limit its comedic effectiveness. A missed opportunity for the directing duo Fontana and Stasi, who, despite the good cast, fail to thaw the comedic potential of the plot.
