When it starts you'll probably think men are trash, and later on realize women are trash too, maybe even worse for lashing out at their husbands for the exact same thing they're doing. The story has a very simple premise and it's lighthearted with several laughable moments that make it worth watching, it's not supposed to be taken seriously. Probably would have gained a little more popularity if it was British or American made.

Return of Tinto Brass
One of the most famous films of "Czech Tinto Brass" has a rather simple and straightforward plot. So, the plot scheme is as simple as a rake: husband, wife, mistress. The husband goes to the left, the wife goes to the right ... but this is only so that the feelings between the spouses flare up with renewed vigor and in the end they realized that they cannot live without each other. It is no coincidence that I mentioned the name of the Italian master of eroticism here - this is the scheme according to which almost all the films of the great Italian were shot. Jiri Veydelek confidently walks along the path long beaten by the classics of the genre - the red-haired freckled beast Vitsa Kerekesh starred in one of the main roles, but the whole film can be admired not only by her charms, but also by the picture where the composition of the frame is made flawlessly. On top of that, in Weidelek we find that human dimension of heroes and that warmth that even Tinto Brass does not have. It is all of the above that leaves a pleasant aesthetic aftertaste, like a good dinner in an old Prague restaurant. So if you do not have money for foreign travel, or are not allowed into Europe due to coronavirus restrictions, this is a great opportunity to walk, at least virtually, through the narrow streets of the Czech capital, visit the places of military glory of Petrov and Boshirov, breathe in the enchanting aromas of the famous Prague coffee shop...
A story about marriage and love
I didn't expect to watch this movie in the first few seconds cos it was a movie spoken in a language I wasn't familiar with. I thought it was a Polish film, but after I checked IMDb, I knew I was watching a Czech movie of 2011. And it turned out to be a great comedy I would like to experience in my life too, I am glad I have watched it to the ending credits.
It was actually a very funny and interesting movie that you would find it totally into it if you cherish the meaning of beautiful life, and marriage. The story slowly goes around the issue that keeping faithful to your spouse isn't easy for any one; in the movie, all lead characters are cheaters to their halves: the father-in-law, the husband, the mother-in-law, even the wife, but the ending was a happy one, despite the tragedy of the mother.
This is my first review posted at IMDb, I didn't manage to write a complete review, but trust my word, it is such a great one to entertain you and yours.
