Toc Toc

This Spanish comedy really made my day. I rarely happen to be so entertained by a single-location film. The creators managed to put together just the right characters (and problems) for the story to work like a charm and for me to have fun and feel totally relaxed. No action scenes, no political correctness, just a great conversational comedy. Perfection. (16.01.2021)

Wow! I applaud, bow and salute. Toc Toc is without a doubt the best comedy of the year and quite possibly of the last few years. It has an absolutely brilliant and original idea where six random characters meet in a doctor's waiting room, each suffering from a different OCD disorder. The whole movie takes place in one location, but when you have six interesting characters and every single one is interesting and funny, the laughing fits are continuous. I laughed every moment of the entire 90 minutes in good taste without breaks and I don't think that has ever happened with any comedy (maybe the legendary Shut Up!). At times I felt like I was at a theatrical performance, but it really is an experience. Well acted with intelligent and apt humour, Oscar-worthy performances and an interesting twist. I had similar enthusiasm for the Italian Perfect Strangers. Tourette's Syndrome, germophobia, phobia of lines and symmetry, Diogenes Syndrome and astronomical mathematical calculations, pan-verification syndrome, and constant word and sentence repetition syndrome. This group of people really came together nicely. I want a sequel, prequel and spin off immediately and I'll pay for it. Maximum recommendation to all my friends!

An unassuming, quirky and at times top-notch comedy from Spain, a decent flick and I haven't seen a more enjoyable theme in a long time. A group of people, each with a different OCD, get together in a waiting room and perhaps I don't need to say more. Acting wise, it's very good (the popular Ramira from Spanish Movie is great), likewise in terms of workmanship, and the comedy is flawless in the first half, and although the film falls a bit flat in places in the second half, it reaches a successful conclusion and I'm satisfied. The best aspect of the film is definitely the interesting characters, who by their nature often get into unpredictable and hilarious situations. Microbial phobia (constant hand washing), Tourette's syndrome (repeating every sentence twice), fear of stepping on the grooves between the tiles on the sidewalk, praying to god constantly or morbidly counting all maths examples always and everywhere - you can probably imagine what this combo can create in a film. A fun comedy that will give you a good workout and make you laugh all the way to the end. (01.01.2021)
