I have always loved Jim Carrey's movies and a good laugh was guaranteed but this movie was so contrived that it was embarrassing. I can honestly say I did not laugh once. If that is what the director calls "wit" then he has taken a backward step since "The Break-Up" which was moderately funny.

The message is a good one but it has been executed so badly that it really becomes cringeworthy at times. Zooey Deschanel is only shining light in this movie but some of the lines also make her look ordinary at times.

Save your money, hire another flick.

I am not one for Italian movies but this was a cracker. If you have to go by the sub-titles then pay attention at the beginning when the soldiers are in the process of securing the town and they engage a chicken.....its a bit of humour that has stayed with me for years since watching it.

It is one of those feel good movies that you just don't want to end...highly recommended.

In an age where any discerning movie goer struggles to find a decent movie at a video shop because of all the crassy Hollywood type movies that are churned out, this is a must watch movie.
