2008110 min5.1 / 10

A lighthearted Italian holiday comedy built on mistaken identity and vacation mix-ups, designed for festive comfort rather than depth.

Fabio is in love with his colleague Linda, but she has never even seen him until he's mistaken for her boyfriend. Paolo and Mario leave for a luxurious vacation in Rio de Janeiro for Christmas, without knowing that their sons have booked a trip for the same low-cost destination and, for a problem of homonymy between fathers and sons, the two holidays are exchanged.
