Sweetie, you won't believe it (4 Stars)


This is the 24th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

It's the first film I've seen that was made in Kazakhstan. Apart from "Borat", of course.

Dastan is a happily married man. Sort of. His wife Zhanna is always nagging him, telling him to spend more time at home instead of going out with his friends. She's pregnant, and the baby can come at any moment, but he insists on going fishing with his friends. He jumps in their van, and he finds it full of blow up dolls. He asks them why, and they say they thought fishing was just an excuse to tell his wife.

Huh? Sex dolls are something you enjoy with your friends?

Enter a criminal gang that specialises in stealing horses.

And there's a one-eyed killer with super-human strength.

It all leads to Dastan and his friends having to fight for their lives in a remote place. The film makes no sense at all, but it's hilarious. It was the funniest film in the festival so far. There was laughter throughout the theatre. And it all leads up to Dastan coming home and blabbering, "Sweetie, you won't believe what happened to me today".
