Comedy

Frenetic in its pacing and with miniscule character development, this trite slapstick farce stars three Italian comics - Paolo Villaggio, Lino Banfi, and Massimo Boldi as the idiot-nephews of a wealthy invalid (Enrico Maria Salerno). The uncle's plan is to teach the trio how to successfully steal for a living but the plan does not have a chance against their exaggerated ineptitude.

VIBE

A whirlwind of Italian slapstick and pure, unadulterated chaos. Expect exaggerated antics, a complete disregard for logic, and a whole lot of pratfalls. It's a silly, loud, and utterly nonsensical caper that revels in its own absurdity.
