On the run from the battle-seasoned Lord Bruno for sleeping with his wife, the handsome and willing servant, Massetto, flees to the safety of the woods during the warm and peaceful summer of 1347. There, after a chance encounter with the always boozy but merciful Father Tommasso, the young charmer will find refuge into his convent's sanctuary, on one condition: to pretend he is a deaf-mute. However, Massetto's tempting presence will unavoidably upset the already frail balance of things within the sexually-repressed female realm, as nun after nun desperately seeks an escape from their tedious way of life and an extra reason to molest the charming handyman. In the end, will those cloistered Sisters finally find out what they had been missing out on all these years?
Leave your thoughts about The Little Hours.
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyA riotous medieval-era sex romp played with lunatic conviction by a great cast. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThis is one of the funniest movies of the year. |
| The MacGuffinBrooke CorsoIt's as if Woody Allen remade The Devils from a script by Neil Simon. |
| Arts FuseBetsy ShermanThe performances are to be savored, with the three stars doing great work despite the constraints of their clothing. Special mention goes to the kinetic Micucci, who goes the extra mile after Genevra ditches her habit. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinIf you're a fan of HBO's Veep or Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you'll probably appreciate this curious little gem. |
| The Public (Buffalo)M. FaustThe Little Hours [is] a movie that seems to have been made entirely by and for Brooklyn hipsters. |
| StarburstAndrew MarshallThe humour is unabashedly crude and the dialogue largely improvised, but what could so easily have been merely a single Nuns Gone Wild joke stretched out to 90 minutes, The Little Hours is instead a riotous delight of brazen lechery and bawdy absurdity. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick MayerBaena's approach is so winkingly bawdy that it can be read either as a goofy tribute to one of the world's oldest sex comedies, or an especially sophomoric take on the same. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamThe momentum peters out by the end, but by then its job is already done. "The Little Hours" is good for some big laughs. |
| JunkeeMatt RodenPeppered with cool comedy cameos (Nick Offerman, Fred Armisen, Adam Pally and more) the film's consistently funny, and the chemistry between the three leads is a highlight. |
