Movie Review: No one can resist this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
You don't have to be European, a foreign film lover, or a huge fan of Benigni to fall in love with this movie! It is side-splitting, stomach-hurting, floor-rolling funny! It is the funniest movie I have ever seen and I know funny! I grew up on Three Stooges, I Love Lucy, Airplane, Naked Gun, etc. and believe me this movie tops them all! So if you want a comedy that will make you laugh like you never laughed before then this movie is for you!Movie Review: "Loris...a normal name. It warms the heart..."
Summary: 5 Stars
The Monster, or Il Mostro as it is called in Italian, is about a man named Loris who is by no means a decent human being. He steals, he lies, he cheats his landlord out of potential buyers of his apartment (yet he won't pay the rent). He places supermarket items on other shoppers at the local grocery as a way to make the alarm systems go crazy, so that he can easily get away with a coat full of stolen goods. At the same time that Loris is doing all these illegal things, another man is going around raping and killing off the female population. Due to some hilarious misunderstanding, Loris is focused in on as being the main suspect. After watching a tape that the police have made of Loris on a "normal day", it is easy to understand why. In order to catch Loris "with his hand in the cookie jar", a policewoman named Jessica is assigned as bait.
I recommend this movie to Italians who enjoy a good laugh, fans of Benigni and any one else with a sense of humor. I first saw this movie a couple of years ago at my grandparents' house. I have loved it ever since.
Movie Review: GREAT SLAPSTICK
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this sort of silly, lightweight comedy. Like many farces, the comedy comes from the misunderstandings and deceptions between characters. Although the movie is not perfect, it has some hilarious scenes that will leave you gasping for breath.Benigni reminds me of a speaking version of Harpo Marx. Like Harpo, he is a loveable satyr and trickster. Both men are short and are not handsome, but they have wonderfully expressive faces and are masters of physical humor.
I have seen two other Benigni films: Johnny Toothpick and Life is Beautiful. The Monster and Johnny Toothpick are somewhat similar in style and content, although I prefer the former to the latter. In any case, if you enjoyed one, you probably will enjoy the other. Life is Beautiful is an entirely different sort of movie, deftly blending comedy and drama. Life is Beautiful is an outstanding film, but if that is the only film of Benigni's you have seen, you should understand that the Monster is much less serious and much more crass.
Movie Review: the funniest movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
You must like slapstick... but beyond that all that is required is that you can double over with laughter! Don't read the critics, this is a comedy not a drama. This movie is funniest with subtitles, not dubbed. Peter Sellers, Charlie Chaplin step aside, here comes your equal. ( Son of Pink Panther is very under rated as well.) Let yourself get into the Italian sence of humour and remember the subtitles are a lttle cruder then the actual Italian is. Enjoy.
