Movie Reviews of Ciao, Professore!
Movie Review: Stefano Savio
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic film that really encompasses some of the less fortunate areas of Naples. I do not reccomend this film to Non-Italian speakers because the English subtitles don't do it any justice. For that matter I don't even reccomed it to Non-Neapolitan speakers.(Neapolitan by the way, is the dialect of the city of Naples). It is very different from Italian, so even to Italian speakers it can be a different language. I grew up in Naples myself and attended pre-school, elementary-school, middle-school, and part of what we would call high-school there. Although I was fortunate enough to grow up in a nicer area than the one portrayed in this film and go to nicer schools, it still very much deals with the ongoing problems of southern Italy. It can seem like a childish film, however it is very complex and has many underlying themes within it. This film was originally titled "Lo speriamo che me la cavo" hence the last line that Raffaele says in the film, however I think they changed it to "Ciao, Professore" so that Non-Italian speakers could actually pronounce it. A great film, and another great perfomance by Paolo Villaggio.Movie Review: Great movie

This is a great movie, I bought it for my girlfriend as a gift. She's going to be a teacher and we loved it. She was also learning Italian, and I, being a spanish speaker understood most of it.
I don't wanna spoil it, so I suggest you watch it yourself, awsome flick!!! something like ''Stand And Deliver'' but in italian and a younger cast. It has a lot of cursing, specially by the kids. But this makes the spirit of the movie, any audience will relate to it, because we were all a kid once.... Highly recomended, Ciao amici!!!!
Movie Review: Wonderful!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie at a mini Italian film festival in June. I have never laughed so loud and so long. What an incredible movie! Hilarious...yet so touching. The children are marvelous. I had no idea that they were not even actors, just local children!
As soon as I arrived home from the theater I logged on to Amazon and purchased the DVD!! I have watched it again with my mother. Loaned it to my boss, to one of my staff and have another colleague waiting in line for it. All who have seen it, love it.
Movie Review: Quite Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Now THIS is how you take an old idea and turn it into a damn special film. Teacher from the north gets sent to a school down south full of juvenile delinquents. He's a damn fine actor, naturally, and the kids are just awesome. I don't even like kids, okay? But these are hilarious. Crude humor and talking with expressive gestures as, I suspect, nobody does as well as the Italians. Some serious problems too, not just plot points and BS. It simply can't be improved, and I'll be watching this one again and again.Movie Review: Worth Watching Again And Again
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie, the story of a teacher from an upscale area who is mistakenly assigned to a poverty-stricken school, is heartwarming and very funny. The acting is superb; the children are street kids who quickly win your heart as you get to know each one's distinct personality and life's story. I am trying to learn to speak Italian, so it serves a double purpose for me. I've watched a number of other Italian movies, which were enjoyable, but this one I watch again and again.
