This nostalgic comedy was based on the book by Czech popular writer Michal Viewegh. The story autobiographically recounts family life FROM the beginning of the sixties to the end of the eighties. The protagonist father (Ondřej Vetchý) is a man trying to survive the depths of Communist Normalization with a clear conscience, and it nearly leads him to a nervous breakdown. A sub-motif concerns his son Kvido, the author's alter ego, and his literary and amorous beginnings. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

An excellent Czech film that, even though it is based on a novel by my not-so-favorite author, beautifully showcases Czech society, Czech family, and Czech history. It's the kind of classic film that can watch tragic events with humor and only occasionally lets drama take the stage, yet still manages to touch you.

If it weren’t for Ondra Vetchý, there would be one less legendary Czech 1990s comedy. Because his performance in the show District League has already been paralleled in this movie with no problem whatsoever. And back then, it felt like such fine acting that you trusted him from the beginning till the end. Those Wonderful Years that Sucked may not exactly be the most appropriate premise to turn into a movie among the Czech contemporary cinematography, but it hides such strong scenes that it gives you a reason to return over and over again. As far as both the humor and the tense 1960s mood go.

I didn't get to laugh much with the exception of some of Libuše Šafránková’s great moments. The socialist "reality" was a bit off. I didn't understand, for example, the change of Aleš's personality after one StB interrogation. He seemed as if he had returned after a week in Lubyanka. Overall, it was a disappointment for me. 3*-
