Conviene far bene l'amore

The most important aspect of this film, is hidden at the beginning. Only after the half of the movie has gone, you discover that you are challenged to take a position on an underlying social problem. The position that the church takes on the fact that for the survival of the human race and the glory of the government, "the people have to make ONLY sex and not make any children". And of course, the church complies with the idea, discarding all the writings. And this is good. That's how the church, any church should behave. For the good of the human race and not for it's own good.

The Italians know how to make 'em. I rented this movie wary about whether I would just see a silly, stupid sex comedy and I found otherwise. Very amusing, Professor Coppola discovering that energy from sex is a viable way to solve a serious energy (as in power supply, electricity fuel, etc.) problem. Then, not just the government gets involved, but the church--its great.

Once the basics, the experiment, are accomplished, what is are the grander goals--how much sex gives how much power? What are the parameters for goals, what can be done with it? The government licks its chops. The churchman asks, don't we need love as well as sex? What are the role of gang bangs, perversions, whatever? OK, the latter two are just thoughts not action, and that is good--just part of the wit. A lot of that is present here. There are mainly one stud and two gorgeous leading ladies, but the professor also discovers his wife is cheating on him. Great fun and lighthearted--you'll enjoy it.

There is no power in Italy, so a professor feels that by using power given off by sex, they can light Italy up again. I don't know what you're thinking, but just hearing that, it sounds like a stupid film. And it is. It's just a stupid excuse to have sex on the screen.

There's absolutely nothing worth recommending about this awful Italian "sex comedy." It's bad and cheap from beginning to end. It's a provincial Italian movie that should have remained lost in the boondoggles of the Italian countryside for all eternity and not released internationally. But, unfortunately, because of the film's sensationalistic title, distributors from all over the world got a hold of it and actually thought anyone living outside of Italy would be interested by it. Not!

Everything about it is cheap, grubby and ugly. But worst of all, it's totally unfunny. It's supposed to be a comedy but I can't imagine anyone laughing at any of the jokes in this movie.

If you like Italian movies in general, like me, do not, I repeat, do not watch this one. It's worthless.

Saw this movie years ago and remember it being funny throughout. Also a fair amount of skin; so its got that going for it, which is good. It was almost like a cross between: a Pink Panther movie, Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and a teen movie. If you can find it on cable or get ahold of a tape/dvd its worth a look.
