Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW! Fantastico! Bennissimo!
Review: What a GREAT movie. The main reason I have been buying Italian movies lately is to help me learn the language. But after reading reviews, and finally viewing it, this movie blew me away. It may not be "politically correct", but you can really get caught up in the raw emotions from the characters in this movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Funny at the beginning, offensive at the end
Review: What started like a witty satire got quickly progressing into the trivial, banal and offensive scenes. If Italian means sophistication, this one definitely isn't. I was appaled by the notion that a liberated woman would quickly succumb to a "natural" role of a slave to her "master". I think this movie is degrading to both men and women. I don't think it has an underlying agenda, in my opinion, it's just plain junk. I can't understand how it could be called a comedy or a sexy movie; rent Fassbinder's "Satan's brew" if you want something good of the same kind.
