We Are Not Angels 3: Rock & Roll Strike Back (2006)
We Are Not Angels III is a Serbian film. In 1973 during a Youth Work Action, budding musician Borko Pavić (Nikola Pejaković) is disappointed to find out that the majority of his fellow young workers prefer to dance kolo to folkish harmonica sounds rather than listening to him play his acoustic guitar. Heartbroken and depressed he confides in his best friend that he read that in America the young people make the devil appear by playing the music backwards who then makes them rich and famous. He becomes the mega popular rock'n'roll superstar Dorijan. Cut to 30+ years later Dorijan is still a debauched, coke-snorting, and alcoholic superstar, except that he's now playing turbo folk instead of rock'n'roll. He lives with a silicone trophy girlfriend Smokvica and his best friend from childhood is his business manager. Despite still having his women, fame, and fortune, Dorijan is unhappy about having to resort to playing a musical style he hates in order to have all that.

An Exercise In Nonsense
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
I have not seen the first one yet, but I watched the second and I enjoyed that. I took the liberty of watching this. Well, where are the laughs? I understand that people may not have liked the second because it is a sequel. Maybe it will happen to me when I see We are not angels 1.Anyway, this one is more to do with music, but the film is quite boring and without much humour at all really. I think Srdjan Dragojevic is a great writer, but he disappointed me with this. It shows the typical story of the angel and the devil but they are not interesting because they ARE NOT FUNNY. That goes for the rest of the characters. This film better hope I do not give it a one after watching the first.The only reason I do not give it a one though, is because of the beautiful visuals this film has with lighting and cinematography. However, that is not enough to like this garbage. If it had some funny moments I could at least respect it, but sadly no. I cannot stop you from watching this, but remember: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
I really mean it when I say "Enough!" Enough with bashing the legacy of the first part... The Second Part (MNA2) was a major disappointment, so I was pretty much skeptic about the sequel. Obviously so were the producers because this movie was released on DVD really soon after the movie premiere in theaters all over Serbia. So, if you want to watch it anyway, here's what you should know. Forget the first two movies. Forget Nikola, forget Marina, forget their daughter (MNA2 was quite impressionable, but I cannot remember the girl's name... of course, I am being sarcastic.) Now, this is a story about two guys, Dorijan, a famous folk superstar, and Marko, frontman of an underdog rock band. In the course of film, each one of them will walk in other one's shoes. And as for the elements of the movie, here's what I think: music is quite pretentious, especially Dorijan's songs. I mean, I know this is supposed to be a comedy, but you gotta have at least some credibility. On the other side, photography is modern and directing is quite good. Unfortunately, there's not much a director could do with such a crappy screenplay. To sum it up, we have a bad plot and above-the-average directing. Soundtrack is kinda pathetic. Acting is OK. Could be better though. Reasons why I gave it 4 out of 10? First of all, because of the idea to invite some of the ex-Yu celebs to participate in it. It was fun to watch Petar Graso, Let 3 and Seka Aleksic. Final note to the makers of MNA3... If you are thinking of making MNA4... Don't.
First installment of "Mi nismo andjeli" is one of my all time favourite films. I've been raving about it from the first day I saw it in 1993 to this day! Second installment was still entertaining and original, even if quite different from the first. This, the third film, left me disappointed.I am not a film critic and I am sure this film will appeal to many. Some of the jokes are quite entertaining and the story stands on its own. But I am nostalgic for the originality that the first film had which wasn't repeated in the third. I don't know if Srdjan was the one directing it whether it would have been any different. I recommend seeing all three films and coming to your own conclusions.
I've seen this film in Wien and it is great! Funny and entertaining! I recommend it to all the people who want to enjoy themselves in the movie theater. Lots of great music. Fresh movie making - great thing for Serbian film making. Excellent young actors. It is about different cultures and tastes colliding, which is a problem one can encounter in any country or society. So it is a universal story, basically. I am used to seeing so many serious films and dramas from that part of Europe, it is a nice change to see that people over there also know how to have a good time and laugh at themselves and others. I recommended it to some of my friends and they enjoyed it as well.
