| Great, but depending on a language nuances
I consider this movie to be one of the best comedies I've ever seen. The only shortcoming in my eyes is the acting of Marek Brodsky, which seem a little bland. But the great script and directing more than makes up for that.

There is one big issue for anybody, who is not a native (or native-level) czech speaker though. The movie is quite dependant on the language humor and poetic/creative formulations (like in most of the movies/theatre plays by Sverak and Smoljak). I've seen the subtitled version and in my mind the translation stripped the movie of most of it's charm.
