NARZECZONY NA NIBY

Watchable. Just a few funny bits, e.g. the confusion when 2 passengers get into a taxi at the same time or when the policewomen let the heartbroken woman go after hearing her story or the children's audition - how they scream pretending adults! The whole thing is nice and just one notch higher than "Podatek od milosci", similarly built on the 3-act rom-com principle where the relationship/person in love undergoes a crisis in the middle of the film. Very good acting trio: Julia Kaminska, Piotr Stramowski, Piotr Adamczyk. Tomasz Karolak's character choosing a DVD to watch dismisses "Listy do M." ("Letters to Santa"), in which he has acted in real life, because "he doesn't like that fat actor". I don't know why the bingo club scene shows... smoking inside the venue. A few early mid-credits.

MAYA THE BEE: THE HONEY GAMES

Recommended. In the very first scene an insect is humming the famous "Pszczolka Maja" ("Maya the Bee") song by Zbigniew Wodecki! At least in the Polish version. The rest of the music is nice, even if not that catchy. Still, everone's favourites: Maya, Willie, Thekla the spider etc. are back. Maya and Violet have beautiful sparkling eyes. The story of friendship, team spirit, sport values and compassion is a winner. Maya is the first to believe in the downtrodden creatures and proves that where there's a will there's a way.
