What happens

Too Beautiful (Troppo belli) is a 2005 Italian comedy film directed by Ugo Fabrizio Giordani. Starring Costantino Vitagliano and Daniele Interrante, the film was conceived by Maurizio Costanzo, who co-wrote the screenplay with Stefano Sudriè. It was released in Italian theaters on April 22, 2005. The protagonists of the film are Costantino and Daniele, two friends who dream of making a career in the film industry. Their lives change when they meet Valeria, an actress who, in collusion with her father, Dr. Giampalmi, deceives them by demanding large sums of money with the promise of introducing them to the entertainment industry. The two boys are assigned to Michela, Valeria’s sister, for a supposed acting course. However, Michela falls in love with Costantino and reveals the scam to him. The two boys manage to free themselves from the impostors, and Costantino begins a relationship with Michela. The film was very negatively reviewed by Italian critics, who panned its acting and certain aspects of the plot. At the box office, it was a flop, earning 704,000 euros; in the same year, it was nominated for three "Fiaschi d'oro" awards, winning in the "Worst Actor" category for Vitagliano. Due to its poor box office performance and negative reviews, it is considered one of the worst Italian films ever made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
