Kind of a surreal, European version of American TV's "Married with Children", 13 February 2006
8/10
Author: Andrew H from Portland, OR

This is a clever film - not a conventional comedy/drama, although it tells a fairly ordinary family story. It's mildly absurd and a little over-the-top at times, sometimes even slap-sticky, with a few mystical touches that made little sense to me but added something to the film, I guess. The tone is pretty light most of the time despite the somewhat dreary surroundings. I can almost guarantee you will laugh at least a few times.

There are no subtitles in this Czech-made film because none are needed. There is little dialog but characters don't speak in conventional language - but you completely get what they are saying and the story is very easy to follow. It always adds an extra challenge to telling the story in this universal-language way, but in this case, the filmmaker succeeds brilliantly.
