Gershwin fan Posted June 29, 2018 2X2 is Sometimes 5 - Basically the Top Gun of Hungary. A pilot who wants to be an airplane designer and a scientist who wants to learn more about flying meets, fell into love, flies over a mountain, and sings a lot. This is a really fun musical from Hungary. Some of the humor is really cheesy and the cinematography isn't always the best but it is overall an enjoyable film. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
