If you’re an American who’s about to vacation in Italy, should you be required to watch I Don’t Understand You before you leave? Better safe than sorry, I say! Chances are, things probably won’t spin as bloodily out of control for you as they do for Dom (Nick Kroll) and Cole (Andrew Rannells). But… if you don’t speak the language fluently, and if there are things back home that you have to worry about, well, then you could get stressed out. And stress could lead to situations you’ve never been in before. And that could result in you doing something that you’ll have to live with for the rest of your life. (Plus, the plot was loosely inspired by writing/directing duo David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano’s own journey of becoming fathers.) So yeah, it can’t hurt to prepare for that possibility ahead of time.
