Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

TrTm316 Not 1970s master of erotic sleaze Jesus Franco, of course. It's Dave, finally allowed to act in an age-appropriate role. The Little Hours does follow the classic plot formula, though: a male visitor to a 14th century convent puts the nuns in a tizzy. And as often happens, witches are involved. Hijinks ensue. Could it be worthwhile?Despite knowing that Fred Armisen is in this film, I decided to watch it anyway, hoping that Brie, Micucci, Plaza, Reilly, and Shannon could make it watchable. And they did. Compared to the old erotica, this is funnier and more entertaining, with good flow and a not unbelievable plot. (As "nunsploitation" it's our usual American pap, watered down to suit the Puritans. Where is the happy middle ground?) Most of the acting wasn't bad.But the dialog... oh good grief. At first, every word from the three female leads jarred the senses: they kept their modern day personas, vocal stylings, and vulgarity level. Eventually you get used to it; it becomes just part of those characters, but that takes time. Reportedly a lot of the dialog was ad-libbed, and it shows. Even so, Franco, Brie, Reilly, and Shannon come across quite naturally. Plaza, too, as a mean and slightly crazy person. But Armisen, and unexpectedly, Offerman, seemed like beginning high school dramatists reading from a teleprompter. Fortunately their roles weren't huge.It would be too strong to say that Kate Micucci "made" the show - it's too much a joint effort -- but she raised the enjoyment level several notches higher than it would have been. Such an incredibly annoying, insecure, hanger-on and tattle-tale she plays to perfection! And on belladonna, she's hilarious.Even with its faults, The Little Hours blows Wondrous Boccaccio (Italy/France, 2015) out of the water as entertainment from The Decameron. And most of the 70s stuff isn't even in the same league, except as erotica. So watch The Little Hours and enjoy it for what it is: it could have been better, but it's not bad at all.

aislynn_w-63204 You just don't get it. It was great! Absurd and irreverent and perfectly on point

hello-181-893413 It started strong and went downhill to weird rapey scenes and a truly lackluster ending.

jadavix I have rarely missed the point of a movie more so than when I watched "The Little Hours".I had an inkling, mostly based on the cast, that "The Little Hours" was a comedy. I don't think it is. It's not a drama either - this is a movie supposedly set in medieval times where everyone talks like bored hipsters in Starbucks. So you're clearly not supposed to take it seriously (right?). But it's not funny. It's not intended to be funny. It has no jokes. It has no purpose. It's tempting to call "The Little Hours" a vanity project, but nobody involved seems to be having fun. It's not ostentatious. So why was it made?I return to the cast, because there's nothing else about the movie that invites comment or interest. This is like a who's who of today's comedic acting talent. There's Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Micucci, Nick Offerman, John C. Reilly, and apparently Paul Reiser was in there somewhere but I didn't notice him. Dave Franco also plays a key role, and he could be funny in another movie, just not this one.There's only one thing that approaches humourousness in "The Little Hours", and that's Kate Micucci's performance. She knows how to use her distinctive facial features to generate laughs. She doesn't have any funny dialogue, but then the movie has none of that. It's when the screenplay lets her go off the rails that you might find yourself chuckling.The movie is apparently based on one of the stories from The Decameron. How many of the people who see it will have even heard of that work of ancient Italian literature? What was the point of using it?
