I’m also a bookseller, so I know what I'm talking about when I say I get it. (2009.02.16)

A legendary comedy that I probably have never seen in its entirety. Until now, that is. It's a wonderful piece of Svěrák's work boasting lines you'll know even if you've never seen the film. It's hard to fault it, because the ending fits. You don't let a man like that get away with it. The mass scene of waiters running is excellent. (2015.02.10)

Waiter, Scarper! is undoubtedly one of the cult classics of Czech comedy filmmaking, with the participation of the star creative duo Svěrák-Smoljak. But one think about the plot, it is actually a very bitter tragicomedy, which takes a humorous (but still self-aware) look at many human weaknesses, be it fraud, womanizing, or just simple false bragging. The film thus serves us many truly humorous and even absurd moments and enriches us with a number of lines that have become humanized over the years. (2022.12.22)

Another film by Smoljak & Svěrák and I’m thrilled again. The class reunion, the desperate attempt to overtake the bus, one great scene after another. I can watch films by these two over and over again without getting tired of them. Many of the film’s lines have become part of Czech culture. Simply amazing! (2016.06.26)

Absolute essential for watching Czech (and Slovak) cinematography! Immortal classic. (2019.01.23)
