1. Act: Mediocre + 2. Act: Excellent = Un-even Film

Rating: 6/10 (8 May 2015)

I had heard so much about this movie for so many years until I finally watched it. The first act is very different than the second, which is, in my opinion, superior by far. The first act contains too much unnecessary comedy and is not taken seriously. At all. But then there's the wonderful second act. It shows us the love between a father and son and how far a man is willing to go to achieve the happiness of his son. The second act is taken a lot more seriously and I consider it to be excellent. That being said I do think this movie is very uneven, and therefore overrated. But because of the great second part of the film, I would recommend Life is Beautiful.
