effigiebronze This is a really funny movie. It really is. An assessment after ten years ( a bit more) is that this is a lightweight comedy with minimal political points that is really very enjoyable. Is it Battleship Potemkin? No, of course not. But it is FUNNY. When it's funny, it is really funny. I laughed a lot in this movie. There is some wordplay that the Western subtitled version misses, of course, but it's still really amusing and at times, sweet. It reminds me of HIGH FIDELITY at times, with it's bringing together people. This is one of my favorite Serbian movies. Oh my god, the grandmother, the old veteran with his Kinder Eggs... the expatriate 'Serb' running an American supermarket in a culture she knows nothing about... The electric-eye doors, the assault on the senses that the Supermarket is! Too funny.Oh: "I'm Falcon, not Chickenhawk!" Funny, funny stuff.

Andrei Pavlov The movie is very simple, easy-going, a bit grotesque, and a bit melodramatic. And funny of course. Very suitable to watch once a year with your grandma if you have one. We have a supermarket in our town and, guess, the first time it opened (not so long ago, by the way), its alien atmosphere provoked people to behave in awkward ways. Now we are accustomed to such type of shops and the magic is gone.The music is too loud sometimes and can cause headache. But that's all right. It is supposed to be fiery and hectic. The presentation of the events is quite childish and there will be no problem to watch it together with little children in a kindergarten.7 out of 10. Thanks for attention.

flopnik Good movie.Perfect way of introducing both funny sides of the anti Americanism, and parasitic American immigrant 'investors' in Novi Beograd (not very successful urban idea regarding that part of Belgrade)…resulting in the best possible resolution in the movie. After all political turmoil, the aftermath of free trade, and facelessness of Super-American-Market had to result in something very tragicomic. Fortunately, there's love…perfectly blended the way Kusturica would do. I love this move, and the music, and the entire selection of actors. I personally saw few of those supermarkets, and this movie is like satisfaction. Honestly, I had fun watching this movie. Branka Katic is awesome actress, and if nothing else…you will definitely fall in love watching her performance.

Michael Clough Neatly made, though nothing spectacular film from Yugoslavia (Serbia). Has a made-for-television feel to it (though i'm not sure if this is the case, or if this film had a cinema release in it's homeland).Some of the attempts at slapstick comedy just did not work, our hijacker constantly slipping on the floor wore thin after about the second time. The mocking of the police by the crowd was rather unrealistically childish.Hard to find any fault with the acting performances working with a threadbare script.My advice put your brain into stand-by mode & just let this film take you for a rather silly ride. 5/10
