"Tolo Tolo" has its good moments and genuinely funny scenes. This is a movie about racism and the difficulty to integrate in a different culture, but this time the emigrant is Checco Zalone. The movie makes you understand what people that are running away from Africa because of the war need to endure in order to get to safety. The director criticizes European Politics, he shows the ignorance of the Italian population and the overall superficiality of people when it comes to empathizing with some difficult situations. Zalone is as always funny and he made me laugh a lot. His comedy might be a little bit too aggressive for some, but I am happy that there are still people in Italy willing to make these jokes, because this is the kind of humor that I am looking for. Checco already explored a few of these topics in previous movies, therefore a few plot elements felt a bit too exploited. However if you are searching for something light-hearted to watch with some friends, "Tolo Tolo" is just perfect to spend one hour and half.
