Very Loosely based on the tales from Giovanni Boccaccio's "Decameron", gives us the behind-the-scenes look at a nunnery in 1347, which (at least in the Decameron) serve as an eventual merge into the Italian Renaissance.
A handsome servant…

My opinion is that "The Little Hours" is spectacular. The author of the screen play added a great deal of context to the brief accounts in the Decameron and their connection to the “Black Death” (not directly mentioned in the film) of the…

Outrageously bawdy tale based on the classic medieval work, The Decameron. Not for prudes or defenders of the faith...only iconoclasts will enjoy this sendup of back-biting, sex-starved medieval nuns. Loved Fred Armisen's depiction of a…

I wanted to like this movie so much more than I did. The cast is stellar and the story line could have been really funny. It's just missing that certain something to pull it all together.

There might be humor potential in the story, but even the funniest joke is only as good as the telling. Weak acting, monotone dialogue, and dismal photography make this too much like a high-school film project for me.

Uh-oh, some nuns have been naughty! Basically, this is Monty Python does Boccaccio's "Decameron." It's pretty silly and juvenile, but it's fun and the cast is great. Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Nick Offerman, John C. Reilly,…

All you need to know in advance is that the movie is based on Boccaccio's "Decameron", and the rest follows as a matter of course.
For some reason, the DVD case (Mongrel) states this fact precisely nowhere, thus contributing to many…

I'm a big fan of John C. Reilly but he must have signed up for this adaptation of Boccaccio's Decameron for a friend or an opportunity to make some quick cash. Or maybe he should fire his agent. It's truly ghastly. (Though I did think…

This is the sort of movie that comedy nerds and medieval literature nerds have been waiting for. Based on The Decameron - a deeply influential piece of early Italian literature - and presented through the lens of contemporary comedic…
This movie is pathetic--who orders garbage like this for the library? Everything is fucking this and fucking that, drunken priest, explanations of going down on, no humour, I quit there.

It's so surprising to me how some people like a movie and other don't. The movie was garbage. Too bad, I like many of the actors. I don't mind the swearing. I like silliness, but this movie was crappy.

One of the funniest films I've seen in theatres in a really long time. Seriously, the hardest I've laughed in ages.
Everything in this film is inherently ridiculous, SO super serious people need not apply.
