I really liked Benigni in all Jim Jarmusch movies, and i am a great fan of Tom Waits. But this movie just sucks! Its the same story Benigni is telling in all of his movies, just in another place and time. This time it is set in Iraq, during the invasion of the US, i still wonder which sick mind thought of that kind of crap. The movie is so totally predictable, its not even fun trying to guess whats gonna happen, cause its too easy. What cannot be missed in an Italian movie is of course a lot of advertisement by Fiat, but also by IKEA and Nokia - this gets kinda annoying. Benigni keeps making his average jokes, which you just cannot bare anymore after you have seen him in a few of his movies, and in this one you will be bored of it after about 10 minutes. His wife once again shows, that she is all but a good actress, Benigni really should stop casting her for his movies. I'm not in generally hating lovestorys, this one just is so cheesy, crappily developed and weird in a very boring way. Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!
