Vita Smeralda
We have said so many words against Uncle Jerry Calà but this
time we have to give him credit for some things. Just some eh! The
first is that it focuses the story of this film on three girls and not
on the usual vitelloni on holiday. Three girls, with the desire to have
fun and have sex. Exactly like the males, just as Jerry Calà
would have done that instead of being a protagonist, puts himself
aside, in a secondary line.
Then the good Jerry, the King, of holiday’s movies, describes
exactly the period. We are in 2006, the berlusconismo ramps and here we
see its holiday declination, including exclusive clubs of the Costa
Smeralda, Vip meteors (even catch from "Campioni" the worst reality
ever) and the usual Flavio Briatore, Lele Mora, the friend Umberto
Smaila, Lory Del Santo, Costantino and Daniele, Anna Laura Ribas and DJ
Ringo.
Completing the fauna, stupid and assholes Russians, elderly playboy
like the same Calà and Max Parodi that we remember for some
films with Tinto Brass. Coke is just miss, but in a holiday comedy it
is better to put it under the carpet.
And this is "Vita Smeralda". A product with a more television style
than a cinematographic one, with a not so excellent direction (there is
Calà behind the camera) but all in all adequate for the goals.
Once the merits of this film are over, we must say that Calà
creates a long and chaotic carousel of situations and it is not clear
if he wants to exalt Smeralda life, showing the poor who aspire to
paradise or want to make a parody. Or even both, because in "Vita
Smeralda" everything is valid and plausible.
The story then slips into an endless network of events not too
interesting that lead to nothing, indeed, lead to a rather ambiguous
ending.
Eleonora Pedron, Miss Italia in 2002, Francesca Cavallin and Benedetta
Valanzano, are the three protagonists that, however beautiful they are,
cannot let us pass on to the fact that they act in a very bad way. In
any case, the three of them are on holiday at a Costa Smeralda camping,
with boyfriends and friends. Tired and especially bored of the banal
life, they flee and hunt for fun in Costa Smeralda. Here they begin
their adventures, sexual and romantic, with different results. Jerry
Calà instead, with his friend Max Parodi (who then disappears
into thin air) awaits a rich Russian and all his entourage, which
should produce a film. The Russian and his whole family is a bunch of
peasants and to make matters worse, an Indian girl arrives and claims
to be the daughter of Calà.
Guido "Dogui" Nicheli, who duets with Calà in the role of the
captain of a boat, raise the level or better to say, a smile for his
career (because he is at the mercy of the screenplay). It is the last
appearance of Nicheli in a feature film.
