I loved almost every minute of this movie, from all of John C. Reilly's scenes, to Dave Franco's very descriptive confession of the affair his character to he, to Aubrey Plaza's emo nun moments. However, the ending is awful! Sure, it's happy, the nuns go and save Dave Franco from being tortured in a dungeon, but it doesn't show them sneaking in or anything, it just cuts to them rescuing him, and it goes off without a hitch. There's no chase scene or anything, they just get away. And then it doesn't wrap the story up it just shows them running off. Other than that, hilarious movie, definitely recommend it.
So many funny scenes! The nuns' confessions, the priest losing the things he was supposed to sell, the tribunal questions and the punishment given. Very offbeat and irreverent and HILARIOUS!
Jeff Baena succeeds in doing a screwball comedy, based on material from "THE DECAMERON". Nuns in a medieval nunnery go after a stable boy/gardener, hiding from his Lord, where he shtupped the Lord's wife.. This movie will make heads explode for Catholics, but I don't drink the Kool-aid, so who cares??? Some very funny shtick and goofy antics, but this film is not for anyone who is sexually constipated.For the ultimate horny nun movie, see Ken Russell's "THE DEVILS". This one is great, relaxing fun!!!
Very smart, and quite funny. The characters are perfectly played by all. Will have to read the Decameron now.
