The Taming of the Scoundrel

The film is just super. Old, but so cool. There is no vulgarity, as in most films today. And it's considered ridiculous. And then why the generation is now. Here, funny and without vulgar. You can, learn new comedies in such films. I advise you to look.

This is a very sexist and unfunny comedy with an illogical plot. Macho farmer Adriano Celentano treats lovely Ornella Muti worse than his farm animals, but she still tries to seduce him - a poor excuse for her two * scenes. One moment is worth remembering though: That's when Celentano drives with a tractor through an Italian village, having taken in tow a bed with the quite furious Muti in it.

I loved Celentano's "Joan Lui": it's one of the best "so bad so good" movie I've ever seen. So I've tried to watch others movies with him. Let's go with this one: Sexist? Yes. Funny? Depends: do you like unfunny Italian 80s comedy? Plot? Next question please. Characters? Lisa (Ornella Muti) has serious script problems. Dialogs? Classic Celentano's no-sense talking: "Sure at 100%" "100 x 100?" "10'000!" "Why?", it's up to you if this is a pro or a cons. In the whole movie I would save only the 2 trashiest moment: the crushing of grapes and the basket game. You could see that behind the camera, in these two scenes, there is the "genius" hand of Celentano: strange music, weird Adriano dance and epileptic editing!

A fun movie to watch, you wont regret it if u like Italian Comedy and the Actor himself (Celentano). In the movie Adriano Celentano (Elia) thinks that women are no good and prefers to live his healthy life alone with his dog and House keeper. Until one day a beautiful young woman comes to his house asking to stay for the night. Elia makes a horrible first impression by being rude towards the stranger. Nevertheless, she seems to like it about him and that what makes her want to stay in his company.

Elia is a confirmed bachelor in the thirties, living with a housemaid in an Italian village. The film starts with men talking about Elia's unbearable character, and these statements are illustrated by him entering and insulting everybody who comes in his way. The housemaid finds women for Elia, but he always succeeds in chasing them away with his awfulness until on a rainy night beautiful Lisa knocks on the door... Although this film is done with little expense, its obviously exaggerated character can be very amusing. Undoubtedly it is a matter of taste; either you love it or you hate it.

A superb Italian comedy that I keep watching everytime I am with a new girlfriend because it is a sure thing to enjoy and comment afterwards ......Celentano,s serious face when he delivers his punchlines are all the money and on the other hand Ornella,s irresistable beauty is fully blossomed....her mole on the bridge of her nose was is and will be the most distinquishable imperfection surpassing easily Scarlet Johansons swollen lip or Natalie Dormer,s cruked smile......... the girl is a godess ...and the chemistry between her and Adriano is undeniable......allthough Ornella is a happy grandmother now and plays barefoot with her grandchildren till her feet turn black (we are fb friends) she still remains as beautiful as ever
