GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
mimil2001 well... it s the only movie i went to see again and again in the movie theater... taking other people with me... it was the very first movie i saw of him (i don't have the right to write his name???) and it was such a blast... my only regret... I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT AGAIN BUT CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE... can anyone help me with that one? mimil2001@yahoo.fr THANX :-) ROBERTO, SEND ME THE MOVIE!!!!!! OK, there is always a word that this site don't want me to write, why, insignificant words, and moreover it wont post my comments if there is not at least 10 lines. this is not OK to me, imposing criteria like that does not make sense at all. if i want to write just one sentence, why i am not allowed to? OK, i do not know if i have reached ten lines yet, let me try again (it is already the 5th time i try to post this little innocent comments of mine. if it does not work this time, i think i will just inscriber from this dictatorial website.
gdillonslater I have seen this classic in Greece in English un-dubbed seemingly. I have been trying to find a copy for years. If anyone has news I would appreciate help.It is indeed likely the funniest film I've ever seen and far superior to much of RB's other work. Perhaps the language problems I've read of herein explain the failure of Netflix to carry it.As for Matthau, I've never liked him personally, but in this he is uproariously droll.Any news in tracking this film we be greatly thanked.George Slater
MoeSnodgrass Benigni's best film and performance but unfortunately unavailable in the North American NTSC video format. Walter Matthau plays a priest visiting the Vatican who is called upon by church officials to exorcise an unknown demon from a local fat woman. Once the demon is expelled, Matthau hears a racket in a nearby closet only to discover Benigni who proclaims himself to be (paraphrasing), "the disgusting thing you (Matthau) exorcised from the fat woman." His first time out of Hell, Benigni is a devil who is naive and curiously tests the world, discovering many of the mundane little joys of living that we all take for granted. All of this is observed with arm's-length curiosity by Matthau who inadvertently brought this fool- of-a-devil into our world. This great film is in the vein of the lost art of Chaplin and Keaton, approaches and perhaps equals those almost-forgotten cinema artists. If all you can find is a copy in Italian, seek out an interpreter any way you can. You and the interpreter will thank each other afterword. A unique and very worthwhile piece of artistry.P.S. In 2011, I translated this film and put the subtitles into .srt format. srt subtitles can be loaded into Video Lan Player (free download). Now, if you can find a digital copy of the film, you can use the English subtitles. Search for Il_Piccolo_Diavolo The_Little_Devil.srt Enjoy.
andres-23 I saw this movie years ago in Europe. It has not been distributed in the U.S., but it should be. It is very funny, with Roberto Benigni and Walter Mathau together, some scenes are hilarious. If you like Roberto Benigni then pray that this movie comes out on video in the U.S. soon!!!
