Four "enterprising" young men borrow a larger sum of money from the local mob with the intention of embarking on a modern-day entrepreneurship. Utterly incompetent, they lose the money like a shot, and are thus immediately thrust into the rough, provincial underground of the so-called "Kransterdam". By dealing, gambling, blackmailing and implementing other more or less ingenious ideas, they endeavour to regain the money. But if they do not return their debt with interest within seven days, the future will be all but bright for them... "After many long years of boredom at watching Slovenian films, we decided to write and make a film that would have the audiences laughing and relaxed. That would, for a change, have them entertained by a Slovenian film. We decided to make a film on urban youth in an interesting, genre-employing and most entertaining way. I believe that after "Kekec (old slovenian film)", to exaggerate somewhat, there has not been a true Slovenian youth film for years, ...

Mitja Okorn gives "established" Slovenian directors a run for their money
I don't really care how long in took to make it nor how much this movie cost (but the low amount during a 4 year span is praise-worthy nonetheless), what "Tu Pa Tam" managed to do is come off looking rather professionally made (a term rarely found in the world of Slovenian production), and more importantly it successfully implemented some really cool shots, cinematography and editing to give it a distinct mark. The acting and the dialogues in the script are pretty natural (which is "extremely good" in our somewhat clumsy language) so definitely kudos and a big round of applause to Mitja Okorn & co. The movie, and the famous Slovenian actors & celebrities that were popping up here and there were also a really nice and unexpected touch. This movie certainly won't make you into a Dalia-lama but if you're in the mood for a fast-paced crime action movie that successfully shows that influences such as Tarantino, Scorsese & Richie can be great influences...then definitely give it a go;)
Just pure fun!
I am a few years older to be defined as a target audience (16 - 24 years old) but I enjoyed watching this movie also. In my opinion "Tu pa tam" movie is a giant step for Slovene low-budged production, amateur authors (players, screenwriters and directors), young enthusiasts. A story is simple but well thought. Dialogues are funny and authentic. Some scenes and jokes are put in local environment. I do not know if they will work outside Slovenia. Yes, it is seen that movie makers as Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie had a great impact on director of this movie. The fact that "Tu pa tam" (made by young 24 years old director) reminds us of Ritchie's movies is not a bad thing but obvious showing of respect to this famous director.
lighten up
given the unbelievable constraints placed on an independent filmmaker, i was rather impressed with this movie. Sure, the story is a little tired, but the acting wasn't that bad, and the shots/timing/lighting were exciting. The intro sequence was novel, a great icebreaker, and Okorn has a way of throwing visual curveballs every time the story would normally lose my attention. His style is just on the edge of being too much, but in this film at least, he stops short of that edge, and the shots stay fresh. Does this movie fall short of its goals as being a "Slovenian film", or more, a new kind of Slovenian film? As an American, even if I could answer that, would you listen? The movie seems Slovenian to me, probably less so to a Slovene. But as western or Hollywood influences are visible in this movie, so are they visible in Slovenia and its culture. Is Okorn maybe just telling the truth that you are denying? I know a story doesn't have to read like Twain or Hawthorne to be "American", nor do they need to follow Preseren or Vodnik to be "Slovenian". This movie was a first attempt by a young filmmaker, and as such it was more than enough for me to watch the next one.
not so bad!!!
This movie is not half as bad as people want you to believe! The storyline is well known. Four dudes borrow some money from a local Boss. They lose all of the money, because one of them couldn't satisfy his girlfriend sexually and emotionally. She accidentally finds money and run away. They are forced to get the money back in a week with interests, which they don't. But they try. The viewer knows they won't return the money, but he also know they won't get hurt (too bad). The director was only 19 yrs, when he started this so called guerrilla production. The budget was less than 25.000 USD, approx. It took him around four years to complete this film. I say, for a directing debut it's two thumbs up. There are some flaws in the movie, some painful flaws, but it's WATCHABLE!!! Big plus: -soundtrack, -few scenes in the film, -excellent editing. People, make up your own opinion. 7 out of 10
Tu pa tam hit the spot
Slovenian cinematography has experienced a long period of quasi-artistic films which have been mostly boring. This has changed with Tu pa tam. It's a film for young people, full of humor and uncensored exposure of the present situation among common youth in a Slovenian town. Although it has been evaluated as "non-artistic", it has gained popularity which only few films had achieved in the past few years. It is amazing what a film-maker can do with practically no budget. Tu pa tam hit the spot - especially young people recognized in it what they really wanted: a film, made for young people by young people, and a film that does not wrap things into shiny paper but rather shows the relatively common situations in a funny and non-judgmental way.
