Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I'll tell you why so serious
A Major Disappointment
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The movie looks pretty every way, doesn't take itself seriously at all. Just fun. I never laughed but had a smirk on my face the whole time.Btw, people who give 1 star with a message like "avoid cuz it sucks so much" - that's just a lame way to try sticking their personal tastes into everyone's throat. I've found that if most people give a movie extremely high and low scores, then it's usually unusual and often worth a watch. So, it's not a real issue and even helps to find peculiar fun movies. And this one is a perfect example of this:) My 9 stars is to say that for some tastes, this one is a gem:)
Very smart, and quite funny. The characters are perfectly played by all. Will have to read the Decameron now.
Wow. Where to begin...This is one of the most self-indulgently awful films ever made. The plot(?) and dialogue are laughably bad. Swearing, violent and promiscuous nuns? A drunk, incompetent priest and mother superior? Never saw that coming...The actors clearly have been basking in the smell of their own farts for too long to release a turd of this caliber.
It's 1347 Garfagnana in central Italy. Father Tommasso (John C. Reilly) runs a convent. Sister Marea (Molly Shannon) is the senior nun. Sister Fernanda (Aubrey Plaza) is volatile. Sister Ginevra (Kate Micucci) is a follower with secrets. Sister Alessandra (Alison Brie) wants to leave for married life despite her father. In his drunken state, Tommasso loses the nuns' embroidery on his way to the market. Massetto (Dave Franco) assists him and in return, he takes in Massetto who is on the run from his vengeful master. Massetto pretends to be deaf mute. Fernanda's childhood friend Marta (Jemima Kirke) arrives and chaos ensues.This is a strange little movie. It's a spoof of sorts but it's also a little serious. Too often, the movie goes into silly which is not silly enough. This probably works better as a dark comedy. When Fred Armisen arrives, the movie falls completely into SNL skit territories. That role needs a serious character actor. This movie struggles between an SNL spoof and a serious dark comedy. It fails to pick a side and clunks along both tracks.
