A bawdy, laugh-out-loud funny medieval sex comedy that, though a little slow to get going, more than makes up for its sluggish start with a steady stream of raucous though never gratuitously out-of-control humor.

Think Mel Brooks with an edge, though one that never slips over the fence into the realm of bad taste and that continually finds inventive ways to infuse originality into material that could easily become trite in less skilled hands. This one surely won't appeal to everyone (especially devout Catholics), but those who appreciate well-developed irreverence will likely come away from this one with sore bellies and tickled fancies.… Expand

Pretty bearable comedy, which literally and curiously recreates the classics of literature. The hilarious gags and immense sexual acts of the heroines was the best part of movie. I can only recommend because the cast is surprisingly good.

It's not amazing, but it's extremely fun and delicious as the black humor worked so well here, Aubrey Plaza once again showing that she has no gender or character that can not bring life and when it does, it's perfectly done.

I won't reject occasional film like this. This is not a masterpiece that I was looking for, but surely something different than usual entertainment. Very nicely made film, so I appreciate whoever involved in its creation. And then there's the beautiful cast. It was so perfect casting, each and everyone did their parts awesomely. So tell me who would bash such rare gem. Then the answer is like usual the film critics.

Aubrey Plaza is not a mainstream actress, but her films still make a stir. I enjoyed all her recent films and here's the another unique one. The third time she teamed up with the director, another decent comedy it was. Loosely based on the book, but it only spoofed. It tells the story of a convent of nuns somewhere in a lonely place. A new gardener joins them and the following events revealed as the thing that gets ugly and nasty. Many dark secrets unfold before it all ends.

I suggest it to you if you are bored with regular comedies. It was not powerful or a tale with full of twists and turns, but watching it once surely works well. It was a film filled with adult comedies. So not suitable for all ages. Especially those who strongly believe in religion would only get annoyed. Just watch it with an open mind, so the entertainment is guaranteed. Not overall a perfect film, yet still slightly an underrated film of the year.

Medieval nuns Alessandra (Alison Brie), Fernanda (Aubrey Plaza), and Ginevra (Kate Micucci) lead a simple life in their convent. Their days are spent chafing at monastic routine, spying on one another, and berating the estate’s day laborer.Medieval nuns Alessandra (Alison Brie), Fernanda (Aubrey Plaza), and Ginevra (Kate Micucci) lead a simple life in their convent. Their days are spent chafing at monastic routine, spying on one another, and berating the estate’s day laborer. After a particularly vicious insult session drives the peasant away, Father Tommasso (John C. Reilly) brings on new hired hand Massetto (Dave Franco), a virile young servant forced into hiding by his angry lord. Introduced to the sisters as a deaf-mute to discourage temptation, Massetto struggles to maintain his cover as the repressed nunnery erupts in a whirlwind of pansexual horniness, substance abuse, and wicked revelry. I found this film to be enjoyable to say the least, though it takes a bit to get itself going, it more than makes up for it with great dialogue, out of control humor and a great performance by Aubrey Plaza… Expand

It’s funny in a dry way, kind of an homage to an earlier era. So many comedy favorites in this and it’s a different kind of humor for most of them.
