The movie is not funny at all (might have been at its release time for the local audiences) and definitely not a comedy. At most is an ironic story.
After a while it gets really boring and doesn't even have other qualities such as beautiful photography, clever sequences, etc.
The movie is a criticism of the big brother surveillance paranoia that victimised the socialist countries and the absurdity of a repressive system. As such it has its value but nowadays it is anachronistic and out of context. It might still have some meaning for Serbian people who suffered with stalinism or might still have shadows of stalinism in their everyday lives today, but this is my guess based on the other reviews.
The other movie, KO TO TAMO PEVA of the same director is a different story. Its message is universal and timeless.
