A feel-good movie about an old Czech couple on their final trip on the wonderful journey of life. Brilliantly scripted and an engrossing storyline make this a must see for all movie lovers. The lead actor, Vlastimil Brodsky, is a genius. If you haven't seen any of his earlier movies, rent this one - it's definitely worth the effort. You might say it's not typical Hollywood fare, no sex and violence, instead you're treated to a delightfully simple story of an old man who refuses to act his age and in so doing ends up in several sticky situations. One particular scene that stands out is when Brodsky and his partner in crime Jára (played by Ondrej Vetchý) act like rich millionaires interested in buying a mansion. To keep up their act, they proceed to a fancy French restaurant and are driven around in a limo. Since this is the first scene of the movie, you're surprised when they ride the metro home after all this special treatment!
The movie gives you perspective of what life is all about and that it's never too late to start enjoying it! Fantastic movie, give it five stars.
