carlo verdone once manage to combine superb comedy with smart and subtle social analysis and criticism . then something happen and and he turn into just another dull holy than thou director . il mio miglior nemico can more or less be summarize in one line work class equal kind and warm and while upper class equal snob and devious . but love win in the end . such a trite clichè for such a smart director . there isn not really too much to talk about in the movie . every character be a walk stereotype represent the self make man who forget his root but who will become good again and the scorned wife and the rebellious rich girl who fall for the honest but poor guy . acting be barely average . severely disappointing under every aspect .
