A perfect evening's entertainment among friends; a perfect date movie. A well cast group of jeunesse dorée (and not so jeune) meet on Mykonos to have sophisticated fun under the guise of helping along the building of their rich host's new house. The catalyst in the ensemble is a wonderfully offensive and slobby American who doesnt speak the language and is stroppy as heck. Contrasted to him are the stunning Greek women and the usual mix of hot buff stud (looking very like the young Tom Conti), brainy middle aged smoothie, and the powerful screen presence of the millionaire host. Sexual tension throbs under the surface and youre never sure who actually fancies whom - except the grungy american who openly lusts after all the women and might just have the chutzpah to land one of them. gorgeous scenery of course and gorgeous clothes and the dialogue crackles with puns and 1-off lines, all delivered with the usual greek deadpan panache and xenophobia. this should really be translated into english and sold to the UK and USA grockles as a perfect update on shirley valentine on what modern greece aned modern greeks are like.
