I loved this movie. A loose adaptation of one of the tales in the Decameron. It’s HILARIOUS.

Loved your review and This. Sounds. Hilarious.
Nick Offerman ranting about Guelphs alone places this on my must-see list.
Helena – my God I needed the laugh with this movie!
The wife is basically like, drawling in irritated monotone across the huge dinner table: “OhmyGodshutUPabouttheGuelphs.” “Guelphs Guelphs Guelphs, that’s all I ever hear.” and etc.
It’s really funny!
But he’s obsessed with the Guelphs. He can’t stop!!
This sounds AMAZING
It really is.
“There IS no ‘Other.’ Until other people become Real to us, we are lost as a human race.” – so true. I am saddened by what I’ve called a rising “tribalism” in culture, an attitude that says, “I’ll kill you if you do anything to me or mine, but I’ll turn away and ignore any unfairness or even cruelty inflicted on you because you’re not me or mine so I don’t care.”
I suppose I should reconsider whether it’s “rising.” I think in some areas people are learning that other people aren’t OTHER. But in other arenas, people seem to be circling the wagons, uncaring about those outside their own circles. The simplicity of “do unto others as you would have done unto you” would revitalize relationships in our world if we could all just remember that in the heat of frustration or fear. If only we could live “with malice toward none, with charity for all.”
Oh, my goodness. This was supposed to go under Viewing Diary. Not sure how it ended up here: user error on my part. Oops.
That’s okay!! I’ll respond “over there.”
