GamerTab That was an excellent one.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
holics-gabor I understand the bad comments from those who totally lack any sense of humor and historical - cultural basics of Hunagry. Others surely must have enjoyed this movie. The harem scene was too erotic, this is why my vote is only 9. I really liked special appearances that were relating to different well known Hungarian TV series' and movies of old. (Like "Tenkes kapitánya" and "Egri csillagok", even with the original actors: Ferenc Zenthe and György Bárdi) The songs were good to! All of the seven viziers' character were well performed. Sándor Gáspár, as hotel manager was my favorite minor character in this movie. The Chinese silk and gunpowder agent was hilarious.
darkangel-5 I went to see this movie accompanying a friend of mine. I had bad expectations because its trailer was all over on TV channels and I couldn't evade it, but the movie underachieved the horror I had previously expected...It was supposed to be a humorous flick on Hungarian history. Well, I have to point out that 1) it's not humorous at all, and 2) it's not about Hungarian history at all. Well, it's a distorted picture of history, but even if one is interested in Hungarian history should avoid this crap.The 'story' is about the seven leaders of the Hungarian tribes traveling throughout stages of Hungarian history. It's difficult to use the word 'story' regarding this movie, because it doesn't really have a plot, it's rather different scenes randomly thrown together. The seven main characters are so poorly and dumbly developed it hurts! While watching this movie I was wishing I weren't a Hungarian.In spite of all this, the movie was commercially successful, but only because probably more money was spent on commercials and marketing than on the movie making process. Hey, Mr. Herendi, next time spend all your money on commercials and the marketing campaign, and I rather spend my money on watching an empty screen for ninety-some minutes. It will be more entertaining and better for everyone.If you like movies, then avoid this crap. If you still have to watch, first just shut off or kill your brain cells to survive the horror that waits for you...
Y-Sly Some of the critics says that this movie is the Hungarian version of the 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', well... they've of course no right! This movie is one of the worst Hungarian movies I have ever seen, it's even worst than Valami Amerika (Something America). I really hate it, no good ideas, no good jokes and the directing is terrible. I cannot believe that the movie makers really wanted to sell this film for us. Forget this movie please, everybody! There are a lot of better comedys in Hungary, like Üvegtigris (Glass Tiger)... If you watch this movie, you'll spend a lots of time for nothing... like I said before.. please forget this awful movie! 0/10
laci-5 This is a story of Hungarian history. The seven leaders of the conquerors wake up a morning after drinking...and they can't find the 600.000 Hungarians that they led just to the border of the future Hungary. So they go to find them and take a fun journey through our 1100-year-old history. Most of the jokes can be understood only by Hungarians or those familiar with Hungarian history and Hungarian movies. Fun to see, a totally crazy movie with Hungarian stars and lots of (sometimes unnecessary) songs. The audience is really willing to like it so mostly they are laughing during the most terrible jokes (as well as the imaginative and really good ones).
