just OK movie

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2001)

This one is just a normal feel-good movie. Well, I know that this one got three Oscars and was nominated for Best Picture, but I cannot understand why. I mean, this is not a bad movie, but there's nothing special about it. The plot is Ok, and Roberto Benigni was pretty good, actually. He really deserved Oscar. But there's nothing more in this film. It's not humorous, and it's not as heart-wrenching as Shawshank Redemption. You remember the scene where Tim Robbins plays music for his co-workers? The same scene is in Life is Beautiful...this movie was not really new to me. Rating 7/10.
