"Come te nessuno mai" is another teen film among so many. It could easily be an American teen film, only it's spoken in Italian, and politics plays a more important role than in their American counterparts (there's no left x right in the USA - American teenagers, as portrayed by American films, are more concerned with status and clothes. But politics is not really important for the story of "Come te nessuno mai" - it is just a game played by these children of well-to-do parents. If they were in USA they would be cheering for a basketball player.Another significant difference between "Come te nessuno mai" and its American counterparts is that the acting is much better and the romantic scenes have really a romantic feel.All in all "Come te nessuno mai" is entertaining, funny and sometimes moving, but it is a disposable movie - it's easy to see and easier to forget.Maybe one day there will be a director able to give a deeper portrayal of the teen world. Teenagers are not the cardboard figures usually shown in the teen films. They deserve better films.

This is a colorful, bright, energetic film, saturated with teenage ennui. It all comes rushing back at you, how everyday teenage life is the stuff of high drama, all the time, on all channels. The framework is a student rebellion, and a subplot is the reactionary attitudes of one boy's parents, big players, evidently, in the student riots of '68. The teenagers' contempt for adult society is so automatic it's almost an institution. It's funny, and a little depressing, to watch these kids make the same stupid assumptions you did X number of years ago. You realize they're unavoidable, these rites of passage.While it feels like a modern, Italian John Hughes movie, it delivers more than you'd expect from a movie so described. There are sharp, trenchant observations about life and what we expect from it. Some of the innocent questions a boy asks his older brother are so silly they're profound. I especially enjoyed the right-on portrayal of the boys being just as gossipy as the girls, if not more so. I hadn't expected to like this movie as much as I did. It's sweet, funny, and worthwhile.

Many of you who will watch this movie will not understand it. Yes, it is a very simple movie on the surface: young kids live their lives through school, love, troubles, and coping with growing up... all this is great, but you need to understand the culture. This movie was made in Italy, Rome to be exact which is very important. I saw this movie for the first time when i was in high school in 1999... i went with my friends from high school (by the way i'm from Rome too) and it was like seeing images from my own life. The divisions between clothing explained at the beginning of the movie are very real and go deeper than just what you wear, but what you believe in and what you stand for. The taking over of the school is not an excuse for sex, as other people have said about the movie, but is a way of showing that we matter, (yes i have participated in two of these myself). As it said in one part of the movie "I don't want to look back and see I've made crap of my life, like everything has been already said and done". That's why they do it, because they want to matter... the sex and love just come with the growing up and coming to terms with one's life. Even now, as a twenty-something I still look back at this movie (which has been released in America under the name -like forever in my mind-) with melancholia and joy that i could have my youth portrayed so realistically and truthfully as in this movie, no one could have done it better. Too bad many of you might not ever get to really appreciate it beyond the simple story it's telling.Check out also the movie "Ovosodo".

A good movie that reminds everyone of the belief that what we live ( especially when we're adolescents) is new, unreapeatable and too intimate to be divulged, analyzed and explained to or by other human beings.And even if it's not that true, the outcome is that at least it's not phony that it's worth living. This is the translation of the italian title: literally "like you anyone ever", which means that your experiences when lived for the first time seem to be unique, solely faced by yourself and anybody else prior to you. Every adolescent goes thru a row of "Life facts" that will forge his personality and affect his mind in the years to come: that's what the flick is about. The way the director paces around these growing-up issues is delicate and cute, even if not shallow: important the clashes and approaches between the young main character and his parents and other two siblings (one elder and the other younger who looks "dead" but in the end will help him out opening his narrow mind) that remark the generational ditches but in the meantime render clear the identity of the way teenagers deal and have dealt with their "towards maturity" process. The scenario is profoundly italian ( western european but not american at all ): political fight into a high school, bourgeois educated households that have lived the years of politically led protests and now have become at the eyes of their kids too stiff, severe just like their school principals. Silvio lives,during the warped days of the occupation of his school,first make-out sessions, walks the rotting paths of a friendship wrecked by the raging adolescent hormones towards the same girl and at the end learns to recognize his young soulmate (or kinda). Great and hilarious the bonding scenes between Silvio and his more mature brother, between Silvio and his male friends and the girls of the school ( regarding sex, drugs, Politics and so on ). Just one flaw (if we wanna be pernickety and picky): No soundtrack. Same year, same issues but faraway from American Pie.
