"Wyjscie Awaryjne" (Emergency Escape) is a goofy 1982 Polish comedy that creates a similar feeling as its contemporary comedies, such as "Mis" (1981) and "Co mi Zrobisz, Jak Mnie Zlapiesz" (1978). As with these other two films, "Wyjscie Awaryjne" tells us the story with an unusual twist on marriage and subtly makes commentary on the times.

The story is about a family in a small town in Poland. The mother is an uptight, bossy, and the local director of the town, so she is very concerned about her public image. When she discovers her daughter is pregnant, she freaks out. The mother convinces her meek husband to go to the city to find their daughter a husband; in a way, this is showing us how money can buy anything in this time period in Poland, even a husband for your daughter.

The emergency exit referred to in the title is the finding a man to be their daughters husband, so she can give birth while married, but the plan comes back to haunt them as it isn't easy to find a good man for sale. I would recommend "Wyjscie Awaryjne" for those who enjoy silly comedies. This movie is good for some laughs and lighthearted entertainment.
