Quel ragazzo della curva B

My parents immigrated from Italy to germany where i grew up and i remember watching this movie with my uncles and aunts ( Yess we are a big italian family ) This is an 80ts italian Comedy Made in Naples during the time of great Diego Maradona when he played in the towns soccer club SSC Naples. The story is focused on Nino ( Famous Italian Singer of the 80ts Nino D'angelo ) who is a big fan of the SSC and head of a small soccer club community. With the legendary Maradona the chances are quite good that the SSC is going to win the first Championship in their history, but until then Nino and his club Buddys are confronted with some unexpected problems around the game of soccer.

This film might have more bits of south italian humor so it's not for every italian considered. These are more flaw jokes and rarely work, but somehow like many low level comedys in Italy it managed to gain his cult followers. It's light hearted comedy and a love letter to Naples itself including the magic time of the SSC plus the italian passion for soccer. Suprisingly it deals partly with real life issues of soccer gaming that are still present nowadays in stadiums like violence caused by hooligans, selling drugs and fake tickets... it is shown in form of a lowlife gang as wrongdoer througout the film. Another good thing is the feel good soundtrack of "Napoli Napoli" what delivers nostalgic music for italian hearts of course a song from Nino D'angelo.

Entertaining in low quality, but i would say Nino's best film in the 80ts unlike the other garbage he caused during that Period. In that sense Forza Napoli :))*
