The bad thing for me about this movie is this false dicotomy between these "modern man" models presented by Dino, there surely is an alternativa, specially in Italy, for both ways of living life. The fact that bothers me the most is that the characters do not fix their errors or turn into better persons after the film, the dad did not confront the fact that his daughter is going to marry a semi-ped0phile figure and think that it's fine as long as she is happy. The shy character is just a pathetic man, the perfect representation of what the system wants man to become, and he does not improve himself in any matter. For me it's an 4/10 cause by the end this movie is purely hedonistic, nothing really changed, nothing really happened, they just wasted their times and my time as a viewer, telling a story that reaches no point, they didn't even bother to explain why the bad-dad ended up being a bad-dad, like explaining his background or something, and the shy guy just seems superficial, like completely generic.
