Great Story

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2000)

A thoroughly enjoyable and poignant film. While certainly not believable in its details, the story flowed seamlessly so that I thrilled in the jokes and surprises which had been set up. I was thoroughly captivated while watching the film, as were my son and wife. This is no easy task -- my wife usually falls asleep, and my son is no fan of subtitles! After it was all over, I felt inspired. Benigni's character was successful in being himself and doing the right thing in a fun way, even if it was risky. That is how I want to live my life...
