Description

I Vitelloni is a 1953 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Federico Fellini. The film follows the lives of five young men in a small seaside town in Italy who are struggling to find their place in the world. The title "I Vitelloni" refers to the Italian term for "big calves" and is used to describe young men who are seen as aimless and lazy.

The film explores the themes of youth, maturity, and the transition to adulthood. The five main characters are all in their twenties and are dealing with various personal and societal pressures to grow up and take responsibility for their lives. The film is also a commentary on Italian society at the time, which was experiencing a post-war economic boom but was still struggling with traditional values and gender roles.

Overall, I Vitelloni is a poignant and humorous portrayal of the struggles of youth and the challenges of growing up. The film's themes of maturation and societal pressures are still relevant today, making it a timeless classic of Italian cinema. Fellini's masterful direction and the outstanding performances by the cast make I Vitelloni a must-see for fans of classic cinema.

Released in 2012, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days covers the events depicted in third and fourth books of Jeff Kinney: The Last Straw and Dog Days. The last one "realistic fiction" novel got more attention from Wallace Wolodarsky who wrote a screenplay for the movie, and this fact is noticeably reflected in the film's plot. The storyline begins with Greg Heffley and Rowley Jefferson are going to the country club for their summer vacations where due to the unfortunate sequence of developments both of them got into the troubles. Bleak outlook of spending the summer in vain efforts to make some money is rising at the horizon with more and more of clarity. That makes the movie very similar to previous two: Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011) – the hopeless children are showcased as losers trying to do their best. Nevertheless, the play of the cast is outstanding as usual and while watching this sequel you distinctively understand why these seven actor and actress (Zachary Gordon, Karan Brar, Robert Capron, Laine MacNeil, Connor & Owen Fielding and Dalila Bela were nominated the Young Artist Award and some of them ( we mean Laine MacNeil) even won it. By the way, Zachary Gordon's career is moving quite fast, which is led him to the lead role in the 2012 movie Norm of the North, where he plays main protagonist, Norm.
