Virgin Territory Trailers

In Black Death era Tuscany, as in the Decameron, ten young Florentines take refuge from the plague. But instead of telling stories, they have lusty adventures, bawdy exchanges, romance, swordplay, randy nuns, Saracen pirates, and a sexy cow.

Reviews
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
PDXozoner This turkey has more breasts than Butterball in the third week of November.In one of the other reviews, the reviewer suggests that you could be forgiven if, at first, you think this is nothing but a soft-core porno pic... I would suggest that you're deeply mistaken if, by the end, you think it's anything else. And worse yet, it has fewer breasts and even fewer laughs (intentional or otherwise) than Bob Guccione's "Caligula," with which it shares a certain sensibility.Think of it as "The Decameron" written and directed by Benny Hill, post mortem.
Brigitta Falcini It was quite funny and not bad. The romance between them were OK. But I just thought, "Whoa this has been directed by horny teenagers". Because it was just, basically, all about sex. I liked the ending where Pampaneya ( or however you spell it) and Lorenzo (who is gorgeous) got together and the twist where the Russian guy got with Lissa (I think he name was). The convent was funny! But it should have been obvious he wasn't deaf/dumb. The 'priest' was great! He was really funny, and at the end where he was showering flowers over them, that was funny too :) Commentary was funny throughout it. I liked the tribe bit, very funny. And Rupert Friend was great as the leader :) very funny! Overall, Good.
intelearts It seems the other reviews either love everything about this, or hated it...Well, I have to say for what it is, it is OK and watchable if you know you just want a no brainer evening.It doess a real sense of fun without too much silliness and even a definite charm.It is sexy, and has a fair amount of nudity, but it's all done in a spirit of fun...It is a bit of Carry On, a bit of Romeo and Juliet, with sexy romance, and dashing sword fights, some decent one-liners and some running gags it all works if you're in the right mood.The plot is a take on the Comedy of Errors, three suitors, one girl, but one is mean and nasty, the other falls in love with another girl, and one is her true love... it ain't Shakepseare but it is fun to see what happens next.Nicely shot with good costumes and settings this is one to just enjoy for what it is: escapist comedy reasonably entertaining and fun...
WasteBot All the basics you want in a film. Fun, villains, sex, humor, heroes, and a happy ending. But not predictable. No intense thinking material, yet there is intense thinking underneath.It might be viewed as a light-hearted Elizabeth the Golden Age, though on a smaller scale and in a different part of England. Out in the country where the big bad wolves and princesses in distress mingle.Makes me wonder why it didn't do much better at the box office. It certainly deserved to. I guess it's hard to market a film that may seem old, religious, and historical. In reality, the religion and history serve as a backdrop and the film never feels old.Tim Roth leads a cast of great acting. He makes the villain both hate-able and amusing.
