Description: A missing groom, a bachelor party gone sideways, and a fantasy football league gone rogue – Alessio Maria Federici's "Fantasy Football Ruined Our Lives" isn't your typical wedding-gone-wrong comedy. Instead, this darkly hilarious Italian film, starring Giacomo Ferrara, Silvia D'Amico, and Enrico Borello, uses the frantic search for a vanished best man as a springboard to explore the complex tapestry of male friendships. Through uproarious flashbacks, Federici masterfully reveals the fissures beneath the surface of boisterous camaraderie, highlighting the pressures and unspoken anxieties of adulthood. The humor is sharp, consistently landing punches, but the film's true strength lies in its surprisingly poignant exploration of loyalty, betrayal, and the fragile nature of bonds tested by time and the absurdity of fantasy football rivalries. It's a character study disguised as a mystery, leaving you with laughter, but also with a lingering sense of melancholy and reflection.
