Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Enrico works for a consulting firm and his expertise is convincing low performing executives to leave their companies/shares. Or at least this is how he would describe his job to bear the most morally questionable consequences of his actions. In fact his company is hired in order to have someone in charge (owners, heirs) removed from their position.The topic is original, interesting and very actual, especially in some countries where a lot of family businesses face a generational change and get sold or see a management replacement. However the execution is honestly superficial when dealing with these core topics.The world of business gets oversimplified in the black of greed, incompetence, will to fire family guys, and the white of people who studied and care for their employees. If only studying and goodwill were enough to grant success to a company... or is it just the easy way to look at things that Enrico uses to "sleep at night"? Anyway the writers' previous efforts should explain well their naive perspective on business and their focus on the more intimate struggles of the protagonist. Here, it's where they deliver. The nearly 2 hours are pleasing and a lot of interesting characters animate Enrico's days during his discovery of something more authentic in life.Actors' performances are not remarkable but work - except for the young heir/male actor which is not convincing. 6.5
