Roger Ebert critic, not Roger Ebert, gave it a 1.5 stars and his review was incorrect in numerous ways. Uruguay was where the teacher found the penguin, not Venezuela. And the critic blasts the movie for not noting the Dirty War in the film. It was prior to the Dirty War and at the end, if this Roger Ebert critic actually watched, they made note of what happened after the time line of the film, that 10-30k people were disappeared AFTER Peron & miitary junta that was the timeline of the film. It got worse and we should all pay attention when the govt disappears people. This critic does not know his timeline. The film also makes people curious about history, LOOK IT UP. Unlike Roger Ebert's critic.

I was shocked that it was so prescient. Watch it! We're almost there.

It never changes from one era to the next probably since the first civilization. Samo samo.

John Q Public obviously does not get satire anymore. With today's audiences, even Dr Strangelove would get bad reviews. I guess you can't get what you don't grasp.

I hate movies about silly romance, but OMG, that sofa and the Italian lighting fixtures, basically the whole apartment villa has me in the mood to finally change out my style. Plus I googled while watching because I didn't believe some of the claims, and they were factually correct. Caval, green olives, and such. Whoever wrote it, did their homework. And and and I learned the history of the song Funiculi Funicula! It's basically an advertisement for a cable car company going up to Mt Vesuvius. So popular, it was even sung by Pavarotti On the whole, I would say the movie was delightful! And knowing a little Shakespeare comes in handy.
