About the Movie:

Adam Mialczynski (Marek Kondrat) is tired of life.  He is afraid to get out of bed and face the day.  Fed up with his insensitive neighbors, underappreciation at work, spilling his morning cereal, not finding the love of his life, and his nagging mommy.  Though he tries to ease his tortured soul by writing poetry, the loud construction outside draws out his creative juices.  Even relaxing on vacation is a challenge.  He's slightly paranoid and totally OCD...and unintentionally hilarious.  Adam is an unhappy fellow, but the situational humor makes us laugh.  "Wacko's Day" presents a specific flavor of funny, a flavor that's very Polish.  One of the most popular comedies of the recent years. 

 

O filmie:

Adam Miauczyński to człowiek nieszczęśliwy.  Życie jakoś mu się nie udało.  Boi się wstać.  Praca nijaka, małżeństwo skończone, przemądrzała mamusia, nieznośni sąsiedzi...  Poezji nie może napisać przez miejskie chałasy, zrelaksować  się nad morzem też nie potrafi przez natrętnych wczasowiczów...lub własną nerwicę.  Adaś to typowy życiowy nieudacznik, inteligent borykający się z problemami codziennej rutyny i niespełnienia marzeń --  jest klasycznym tragiczno-komediowym bohaterem filmów Koterskiego.  Jemu jest smutno, a widzowi wesoło.  "Dzień świra" to charakterystyczny polski humor sytuacyjny i jedna z najbardziej popularnych komedii osatnich lat, która już przeszła do klasyki polskiego kina.
