Discovering the existence of this movie was somewhat surprising to me. I thought I could sleep tightly knowing that I will never see parts 3 and 4 ever again. Yet they have pulled this one out.

It would be almost impossible to create something worse than part 4 and it seems that they failed at doing so. While part 4 is pure cringe, here it is simply boredom with occasional cringe. Still I will not give this production a higher note.

The plot resolves about main characters having a baby. The other characters (I cannot remember their names, although I'm writing this as the movie goes along) try to solve their incapability of having kids, as the other woman is already past her reproductive age. Admittedly, there is something of the positive aura when that couple shares their feelings in front of each other. Possibly, this is the only good point of this movie. The appearance of some mysterious pregnant woman implies a predictable ending, as she becomes a surrogate mother.

Please don't make part 6.

This is certainly a production worth recommendation. It was released as an "episode" of a criminal series "Kobra" in 1993, but it is also the remake of the episode from 1976 bearing the same title. It was directed by Janusz Majewski under the pseudonym Patrick G. Clark.

The plot revolves around the two women who run a "room for rent" business but in reality they specialise in murdering of their guests and claiming their goods. They do it not only for money, but in a way out of boredom and being exposed to the violence of modern world, as well. The story may be considered as an interpretation of "Arsenic and Old Lace". This classic black comedy is even mentioned in one of the scenes.

The two leading characters are played by legendary Irena Kwiatkowska and excellent Hanna Sleszynska. Although it is common to praise Kwiatkowska as the best of the best actresses, in this production the entire cast is of the highest quality. All the actors clearly perform with a good degree of professionalism. I personally enjoyed the role of Marek Bargielowski as a pastor Sheppard. The comedy and interesting dialogues make the pacing of the show optimal. It is a must see and I return to it frequently.

What can I say, about this movie? Well, it exists but it shouldn't, just like the cringy part 3. Some people say that this one is better than Kogel Mogel 3, but I disagree. It is equally bad. To be honest, the third part was at least nostalgic during its first thirty minutes. Here, the cringe starts right away. So, in the end, both movies are difficult to withstand after the first half an hour. This one, after half on the running time becomes impossible to watch. Save this 90 minutes of your life for yourself.

The dialogues are artificial and so is the humour. The movie pretends to be smart by overloading the viewer with references to pop-culture and older (much better) Polish cinematography. The movie of course includes forced modern "progressive messaging".

What about the plot? Well, nothing much happens. One of the characters, played by Anna Mucha, sets up a revenge plan. And that's just it. Everybody argues and later all ends well. Oh, and also a new very farcical character appears (played by Dorota Stalinska).

Sadly, this is the last time we could see Katarzyna Laniewska and Pawel Nowisz on the big screen.
