New Showbiz Analysis

Marie Poledňáková’s comedy provides a localized perspective on family dynamics by temporarily disrupting domestic expectations. The film’s strength lies in its ability to deconstruct the cliché of the incompetent father through situational role reversal. However, the work is confined by its time and regional context. The narrative remains largely within traditional demographic boundaries, offering minimal representation of racial, ethnic, or LGBTQ+ identities. Ultimately, the film focuses on men's control over the story within the domestic sphere, even though this ability to act is tested primarily in the absence of women.

Official Synopsis

Three middle-aged go for a vacation into the mountains with their children. How will they cope with their youngsters every-day needs without their wives? The annual men's ride of three fathers becomes something like a kindergarten in the winter countryside due to the wives' vigorous intervention. It turns out that in certain situations, fathers make better moms than moms themselves, which is especially true when moms aren't in sight. Their parenting methods are very peculiar and cause a lot of confusion and hilarity...
