I had high expectations for this movie, as some people see it as one of the funniest Italian movies ever.
Fantozzi is in fact a series of nine films. I picked the earliest, which also has the highest IMDB rating in the series (7.9). The film is mainly about office life (the main character Ugo Fantozzi is an accountant), much like
Office Space and
The Office. What could go wrong? Everything. I laughed once and spent the rest of nearly two hours wishing that the film would end. This poor guy just keeps getting hurt—hurt in ways that are just not funny in this day and age. (To draw laughs, lots of the old slapstick movies relied on characters getting knocked on the head.) Maybe the more recent films in the series are better, I haven't yet had a chance to try them.
