This relationship comedy about the age-old clash of the male and female principles is based on the eponymous book by Miroslav Skála. Its protagonists are fiancées who set out on a holiday together to see if they are right for each other. Although every small detail of the pre-nuptial "test" trip has been planned by the uptight statistician, the spontaneity of his partner is systematically thwarting them. (Summer Film School)

A nice partner test with the adorable and unrestrained Libuška Šafránková and the disgustingly hairy and systematic Josef Abrhám. In principle, it’s sort of a copy of Ball Lightning (Abrhám as a starchy intellectual with silent inner monologues), but despite the presence of the duo Svěrák-Smoljak and a few typical gags (the one with losing and finding is particularly great) it is not anywhere near the level of the top creations of the Smoljak-Podskalský duo. But it's still a quality comedy in every way, about how, just before their wedding, whilst travelling, two people try find out whether they're going to be able to stand each other. They are also accompanied by pleasant music, which is probably the work of someone from the Mišík-Hrubý duo (if I'm not mistaken, hehe).

Je suis soufflé de voir une note générale aussi élevée ! J’ai regardé le film en deux fois et me suis ennuyé comme un rat mort. Seul le passage où les personnages batifolent sur l’eau m’a légèrement fait sortir de ma léthargie.

One of the films that I rank among the absolute top of Czech comedy (or comedy period). The clash of Krchňák's fantasy with the stark reality is brutal and he has to use all his skills, starting with blunt force and ending with brilliant map reading. I loved the film when I was a child and I still do.
