Review of Selvaggi

Selvaggi (1995)
3/10
Just for a careless evening
30 December 2006
Vanzina bros, Carlo the director and Enrico the writer, create another mean, shaky comedy for the masses, OK, but even without humor and valid sketches too.

Seen today it seems a new edition from Celebrity Survivor, since the cast was made by some of the most famous comedy actors in Italy: Greggio, Fassari, Gullotta, Scattini and many others. As survivors, on a desert island, they'll have to live like wilds renouncing at every comfort. The idea was great, to be honest, the cast too was interesting (every actor made good things on TV one by one, in the right shows) but was developed hurriedly without any grace.

The level is very very low; the choices to laugh are rare and embarrassing. Funny the political references, considering the tormented period (1994/95) in Italy, and the soundtrack made by the disco music played those years.

Overall, any try to defend Selvaggi is a desperate venture.
