Entire film wasn't brilliant. Boring at moments, banal structure, but still worth to watch it! Why? Becuose every kids in Poland know that "kiedys chlop zakladal babie chomato i oral nia pole!" or "chcialbym byc jak Tony Halik". Polish teenage society is cruel, so I also MUST know few lines from such films as "Killer" or "Poranek Kojota" to survive.I admit that many jokes are hard to understand, if you are not polish.Laska (with his ganja-mutated voice) is the best! Typical teenage from Warsaw! Dublicate of my school-friends... 10 for Laska's character, 6 for all the rest. Average: 8.

I read other viewers' comments in hopes of learning a little more about what I had seen when I ran this film on my DVD player. It helped a little, but my own lack of any knowledge of the Polish language is a nearly insuperable barrier. I think some of those viewers have more knowledge of Polish and maybe a little less of English. This would apply as well to the writers of the captions, which are often rather unidiomatic. I say this in great respect, always admiring Europeans who have such skill with English. Anyway I found the movie confusing, jumping from one situation to another rather abruptly.Two very innocent young men hire prostitutes, are unable to pay the fee, and get mixed up with a group of thugs. Everything follows from there, including even some Keystone cops types and a mad car chase. Those classic movie elements are universally understood but are not quite enough to have made this a good evening's entertainment for me and my friends.

I would consider this one of the best polish movies ever made, it is funny and there are plenty of good jokes in it. I would recommend it to everyone, who likes good comedy and of course who speaks polish, as I assume that there is no dubbed version of it so far!There is a very good plot, and a unique love story, then there is crime, and gangsters. So I have expected nothing from this movie but I was amazed by it! It takes place in a time in which Poland is gaining more and more wealth and of course where there is new wealth there is also crime.The best actor in this movie is Cezary Pazura, who plays a gangster! I would even say that this movie is a polish adaption of the Quentin Tarantino hit Pulp Fiction. However it has its own unique character, which is displayed in a very funny way! A must see! Naprawde ten film jest super!

What a horrible, horrible piece of trash. Could somebody please explain to me WTF is going on with the polish cinema? This film is just another example of wasted celluloid. I simply cannot understand why anybody would give this movie a positive review or rating because it fails miserably in every aspect. The acting is horrible. The script is horrible. The direction and editing are laughable.
