A client going by the name of Charlie Brown hires Marlowe (Tomáš Hanák) for a routine job: to find his missing brother. But what at first seems a simple case gets more and more involved and Marlowe is slowly forced to uncover various conflicting trails of evidence. Along the way he encounters an assortment of characters, many of whom are caricatures, as demanded by the genre. Needless to say, he eventually brings the case to a successful conclusion.

I love the people from Sklep very much, but I can't help feeling that the only person able to bring their humor to the screen is Tomáš Vorel. Marhoul filmed something that works in the first part as a funny set of theatrical sketches and not as a film, in the second it does something that works as a film but does not work as a set of funny sketches. Neither fish nor crayfish. Even the forever-starched Hanák is no longer as good as he was in Out of the City, and if it hadn't been for a few real acting performances, it could have ended up being a very big flop. Dobeška is Dobeška...

Smart Philip gives off a rather amateur and cheap impression. It feels as if a group of film students and enthusiastic fans made a film that exudes the joy of creation and shows talent, but at the same time lacks experience, a producer, and attention to detail. Considering the acting talent involved in the film, that is quite surprising. Tomáš Hanák in the lead role didn't sit well with me; his acting range is limited, and perhaps my impression of his performance was also influenced by him being a bit over the top lately. It is clear from the film that the creators worked with an extremely limited budget, which wouldn't bother me as much if not for the fact that many jokes are half-baked, and the script is equally unfinished. During the First Republic, films were made in a week, and Smart Philip seems like it wanted to imitate that approach. I'm not a staunch opponent of product placement, but it needs to be integrated into the film tastefully and with consideration for moderation. Neither of those things applied in this case. Overall impression: 35%.

«Por un lado, tenía sentido… por otro lado, ya no tenía sentido...» Así que me inclino más por este último lado, la trama es realmente un poco sosa y no tiene mucho sentido en la película. Lo que aún podría ser soportable, pero Smart Filip es sobre todo una parodia desesperadamente sin gracia, llena de molestas pifias por parte de los actores, algo que me molesta mucho en las comedias checas. Si no fuera por las muchas referencias a la cultura pop (incluyendo South Park, realmente no me lo esperaba), probablemente no la habría aguantado. El murmullo mongoloide de Pavel Liška y el monólogo cansinamente monótono y pretendidamente divertido de Hanák perseguirán mis sueños durante unas cuantas noches. No creo que Raymond Chandler quisiera esto.
