If you loved Firefighters, try Merry Christmas
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Neri Parenti, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Firefighters, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Merry Christmas is
A holiday comedy promises light relief, but rarely delivers. Four Italians abroad in Amsterdam find themselves in a series of increasingly sticky situations over Christmas. It's not high art, but it does offer some predictable festive laughs.
