"Years of dating, fooling around on dating sites and it's still the same. One idiot after another." The female movie protagonist sighs and places another ad-based date, this time with Lukas Pavlasek, on the list of disasters and assholes. Other characters expand similar lists of terrible dates over time. Sezn@mka is a comedy about men, women, and an interesting fad - Internet dating, and naturally, about all the things that could possibly happen on a blind date. However, in the sea of the searching a big fish may appear. Jiri Langmajer, the boss of a dating agency, is facing complaints from displeased women. In the name of his firm he has to show not all men are just idiots. Armed with information from their forms he poses as a man of their dreams, however, after a few fulfilled dates, he disappears without a trace. He is not looking for a wife, for he already has one, who has a friend, who happens to use the dating-site and Jiri Langmajer ends up seducing her. A noose tightens around the womanizer and a mutual promise of sweet revenge hangs in the air. (official distributor synopsis)

Sezn@mka is a collection of rather poor scenes that, if I dare to call it a film, I might be considered blasphemous. As soon as Lukáš Pavlásek appeared unpleasantly at the beginning, I knew it was not a good sign. I'm afraid I wasn't wrong. As time went on, I was overwhelmed by a bunch of awkward situations, and to top it off, there was tasteless music with quite pathetic lyrics playing. (25%)

This is a caricature of everything, including the craft of filmmaking.

I’m so mean, right? I could have gotten over myself and given at least one star. Except I couldn’t. I’m just sick of how anyone can be cast in Czech films and anyone who can draw circles in a pool of spilled pea soup can be called a screenwriter. Jiří Langmajer played basically the same character as in What Men Want, but the script worked for me there, this was just a standard rant about men, which I might have enjoyed if it was done properly. This way, it was just a waste of time.

The story isn't great, but it could have been a pretty good comedy if it was at least technically better. But this is a cinematic tragedy and a demonstration that the Czechs are beginning to fall behind in the craft of filmmaking. The only truly positive aspect for me was Adéla Gondíková, who entertained me and delivered her lines excellently; otherwise, it was more of a feeling of sadness about the presented work. What the hell is that sound???
