I think this movie is a "half-masterpiece". It's true that it doesn't change the world (nor do the characters in it), but it surely awakens the Hungarian identity in us!
It has a quite refined humor that is typical to Hungarian movies. But this is even a special one! Because you can understand it only if you are aware of the Hungarian history. (Not recommended for foreigners, sorry...) And the movie also gives hints about smaller cases like: famous Hungarian inventions, quotations from great Hungarian poems, big events (like the result of the football match: 6-3), etc. All in a humorous way!
But the most impressive thing is the truth of all that the movie shows: the big changes in Hungarian history while it also always remains the same; the typical personalities of Hungarians (the mentality of them); and the fact that anything happens here, however bad thing would that be, Hungarians will always be the same, they will always be happy, friendly and a little crazy but in our nice way! And we never lose site of hope!
Entertaining, instructive, far from dull, fills the heart with warmth. It is the Hungarians', it is for the Hungarians. It always turns out that we can laugh at ourselves! :)
