Fantastic film - Must See!

I'll just keep this to a fairly brief synopsis and let you know that the film pretty much has it all. Extremely funny/likeable characters, excellent plot/story-line, a lot of dark and light humour, just enough violence to make things realistic, all mixed together into an extremely enjoyable couple of hours. I didn't want the film to end, to tell you the truth.What a concept - a bunch of ex-University professors i.e. intellectual nerds - stumble upon a way to make money by inventing a new drug molecule that is not on the illegal list in Italy. Through their combined biological/historical/mathematical knowledge, they happen to make one of the most sought after 'smart drugs' on the market. But of course things get very complicated and go south very quickly.I'll leave it at that, but you will absolutely love the ride. Again, a brilliant effort and one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Ironic but sad

Others have pointed out at all the different, and actually quite legitimate, inspirations from Breaking Bad to La banda degli onesti, etc.What I see here is a caustic condemnation for a system which wastes young brains in a corrupt, inefficient loop of despair.It is sad but unfortunately true that some are overprotected while others have to struggle endlessly.The final scene is quite subdued but could have been exploited in a more dramatic way.While I was reluctant to watch it, fearing the usual unpleasant onslaught of so-called New Italian Comedy, I'm glad I finally did. And can recommend it if you like the bittersweet bite of social critique with a few interspersed gags.
