I Can Quit Whenever I Want

I Can Quit Whenever I Want (Smetto quando voglio, 2014) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Sydney Sibilia built the film around Edoardo Leo as a gifted academic who loses his university post when the government slashes research budgets.

Rather than update his résumé, the disgraced researcher rounds up a crew of equally unemployable ex-colleagues — a linguist, an anthropologist, a chemist, a neuroscientist — and they pivot to cooking synthetic smart-drugs. Business explodes almost instantly. The harder problem turns out to be managing a team where everyone holds a doctorate, a bruised ego, and a competing theory on how to run a criminal operation.

The film broke Italian box-office records in 2014 and launched two sequels. Sibilia took the "academic outsiders gone criminal" premise somewhere genuinely funny, leaning on sharp ensemble work rather than cheap sight gags.
