Carlo Verdone once managed to combine superb comedy with smart and subtle social analysis and criticism.
Then something happened, and he turned into just another dull "holier-than-thou" director.
Il Mio Miglior Nemico can more or less be summarized in one line "working class = kind and warm, while upper-class = snob and devious. But love wins in the end".
Such a trite clichè for such a smart director.
There isn't really too much to talk about in the movie. Every character is a walking stereotype: the self-made-man who forgets his roots but who'll become "good" again, the scorned wife, the rebellious rich girl who falls for the honest-but-poor guy... Acting is barely average.
Severely disappointing under every aspect.
