Typically delightful Czech New Wave film. The Soviet occupation themes are interesting, but to be honest I didn't really think of that when watching, I just enjoyed the great mix of farcical comedy and surprising melancholy.

Yes, a brilliant skewing of everything political in the Soviet bloc without ever *really* saying so - but most importantly, it doesn't default to any high idealism. It basically just says we're all idiots. Which we are.

The best comedy ever made in Czechoslovakia. A wonderfully satirical, brutal, yet loving portrait of the Czech people. I'm happy, proud and ashamed to say that even after 40 years, this still remains the film that captures the character of our nation best.

Very delightful comedy from Milos Forman. A brigade of utterly inept firemen attempt to host a ball, with hilarious results. Short but sweet.

This satire by Milos Forman perfectly nailed the paradoxes of soviet regime and bureaucracy. It didn't age that well, because it lost dangerous relevancy it had. But human nature doesn't change whatever society we live in and the film still have enough power to criticize and make fun of it.

This piece of history is funny time after time, especially the not that well executed beauty contest was fun, but films amateuriesh acting lowers the points a lot. There's good excerpts here and there. As an entirety I do not rate this movie too remarkable.

Milos Forman made his debut with this possibly overrated broad comedy, it's cute, I would go as far as "fun", but not really "funny".

Amusing and enjoyable comedy of errors. Forman does seem to capture the irony of a bunch of selfish people attending a community fundraiser, especially with the ending, but certain aspects feel unnecessarily exaggerated, which hurts both the comdey and the commentary.
