Poor plot, acting, movie...

The whole thing as a pure joke, this was a class B-Movie (if not worst.. cause I actually enjoy many b-movies.. I didn't liked this one at all)

Scenario: nothing incredible to keep you tens, you already know what's going to happen and in the end of the movie you try to tell yourself that you didn't lost 90mn of your life. You don't get tied with the characters, and you may ask yourself after the movie if you really watched something.

Acting: awful, there is no acting skills there, only Mairi Lousi was funny in my humble opinion as well as Dimitris Kouroubalis. A special worst mention goes to Doretta Papadimitriou who should quit acting. Sakis Rouvas acting was OK for a singer, actually he played a lot better than many of those so called actors playing in the movie, there was some nice scenes where he played well but the overall acting wasn't good enough to feel the character he was playing.

Editing: bad, there are some really weird cuts and continuity problems. The whole movie looks like a continuous video clip.

The only thing good in the movie was the colors, some scenes was beautiful to look at, and the soundtrack was nice. There was some funny parts like where Sakis has to clean the fish or when Dimitris Kouroubalis was playing the crazy Greek lover. But it was not enough to make this movie interesting.

I would -except if you really are curious and want to see Sakis'acting- advise you to avoid this movie. Watch a Greek movie with meaning like "Politiki kouzina" if you really want to see something useful and feel the story, "Loukoumades me meli" was nice too, but if you are not sure to watch this movie then avoid it.
