Film follows the adventures of a twice-divorced bookseller who is addicted to womanising and struggling to find the resources to support the army of children he has fathered. A case of mistaken identity leads him to hit upon a cunning plan to boost his income: posing as a waiter in the bars and cafes of Prague, taking the customers’ cash and then making a sharp exit. As you would expect, these leads to all kinds of comic hi-jinx. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

I’m also a bookseller, so I know what I'm talking about when I say I get it.

One of my favourite Czech films. Great script, performances and music, legendary one-liners and a semi-nude Dáda Patrasová on top of that. What's a full rating for if not this?

Waiter, Scarper! is undoubtedly one of the cult classics of Czech comedy filmmaking, with the participation of the star creative duo Svěrák-Smoljak. But one think about the plot, it is actually a very bitter tragicomedy, which takes a humorous (but still self-aware) look at many human weaknesses, be it fraud, womanizing, or just simple false bragging. The film thus serves us many truly humorous and even absurd moments and enriches us with a number of lines that have become humanized over the years.

Another film by Smoljak & Svěrák and I’m thrilled again. The class reunion, the desperate attempt to overtake the bus, one great scene after another. I can watch films by these two over and over again without getting tired of them. Many of the film’s lines have become part of Czech culture. Simply amazing!

A legendary comedy that I probably have never seen in its entirety. Until now, that is. It's a wonderful piece of Svěrák's work boasting lines you'll know even if you've never seen the film. It's hard to fault it, because the ending fits. You don't let a man like that get away with it. The mass scene of waiters running is excellent.
