Pretty good film

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2007)

Rated PG-13 for holocaust-related thematic elements
Life Is Beautiful is one of those films which are like two different films combined together.The first half of the movie is a silly slapstick romantic-comedy about a man trying to woo a girl with his humor.The second half of the film is a holocaust drama about a man who does not want his son to know about the horrors of the concentration camp so he pretends that it is all a game and the first prize is a real life tank.The film is a bit overrated in my book, I mean the film is not really funny but its the holocaust part of the film that makes it really worth seeing.I suggest renting the film but do not expect to much in the comedy department.
