Mr. Johnson

I do not want to have unnecessary prejudices, but in a way, this is a typical Czech commercial television product. Originally, it was supposed to be a comedy, but it lacks truly funny dialogues and gags, so it remains some kind of romance, which, however, suffers from the puppet-like characters that are very superficially drawn. A woman like Veronika played by Klára Issová does not even exist in reality, and the same applies to her criminal boyfriend Václav. But what was mentioned above is true - they are too unfunny to be caricatures, so it feels more like an embarrassment. The actors for the most part overreact, partly because the script dictates it, but also because they are poorly directed, especially Lucie Vondráčková. The only civil performance was possibly the character of the American musician... Objectively speaking, I give it about 1 and a half stars, but I have no reason to support this kind of production. Overall impression: 25%. (09.05.2009)
