At first, I thought I might like the film, but then came a turning point in which Eva and Honza nostalgically remembered the old days. Such dialogue, in which the characters describe to each other in detail how everything happened, always feel like a radio play in a film to me. When the writer is incompetent, what else is there for him to do, right? From then on, the story entered a downward spiral, only to take a vertical dive in the end. The acting performances didn’t impress me much, the script was poor, and the cake fight destroyed all that was left of my will to give a higher rating. I haven’t seen such amateurism in quite a while.

Classic Czech romantic nonsense, where some actors try, which is to their credit, but they still can't squeeze anything great out of the story. Matásek and Vlasáková make a great pair, but the finale is quite bizarre, including the grotesque cake scene, which I found rather unnecessary. A below-average romance and comedy.

Another unfunny Czech comedy that looks like it was ripped off from an overseas production. The only difference is that in American films, the snobbish environment seems more believable. The botched screenplay with primitive dialogues couldn't be saved even by a decent cast, and I'll probably be recovering from that attempt at humor in the form of a slowed-down cake fight for a long time.

Tomáš Svoboda has so far managed to establish himself as a director of useless Czech films, but thanks to his collaboration with Marcel Bystroň he has managed to sink even lower. That's almost an art form in and of itself. How is it possible to have a bunch of decent actors, singers, and skilled technicians and still make it all look like a total mistake? There's a complete lack of basic editing and supervision of the script... Unfortunately, what is missing here is the humility of the theatergoer who thinks that film is essentially the same thing. It's not. Svoboda’s films are simply lazy.
