Summary: Best movie I have seen since "Braveheart"!!!
Review: This is a most charming and delightful movie, fast paced and full of life! The children that make this movie are totally unforgettable and the professor is a perfect balance in his character. I saw the video three days ago, and have not been able to erase it from my mind. This movie is a must for anyone who loves the study of human nature and good endings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Italian "To Sir, With Love"
Review: This is a very touching movie. The story has been told in many ways, but somehow this movie shows a freshness of its own. A northern Italian teacher is sent to southern Italy (Napoli or a town near it) due to an error. Few of the children go to school because of economic and social difficulties. Il professore goes out to the streets and homes and drags the children to class. The children are mostly street smart wise guys. The movie is rated R due to a constant stream of crude language by the children, but don't let that stop you. (I would like to know what a fart jockey is.)

Eventually, the teacher and the children learn from each other profoundly, etc.

The acting more than makes up for the plot!

Enjoy!

Summary: HEARTWARMING AND HILARIOUS
Review: This movie is incredibly funny. Unfortunately alot is lost in the translation. Only Italian speaking individuals will be able to truly appreciate this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a great, intelligent movie
Review: This movie is yet another proof that the exuberance of hollywood and its multi-million dollar productions, full of gratuitous violence and sex is not the path to follow to a great movie. The way the story is told, the sensibility of its interpretation, the superb work of Paolo Villaggio and the rest of the cast make of this movie one of my favorites. Indeed, not a recommend if you are an action movie person. For those of you who liked touchy, intelligent, profound movies, refrain not.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ciao Professore !
Review: This movie, of a professore from the North, who gets transferred in error to a village outside of Napoli is a funny but sobering look at the conditions that the southerners had to live with and still do. You'll love the approach of the film to the societal problems of the south, you'll laugh and then want to cry, all at the same moment. If your family origins are from southern Italy, the memories of our dialect are unmistakable, enjoyable, nostalgic and funny.
