Gli infedeli

I don't understand the bad reviews here. You need to have the patience to watch a movie till the end. And this one is entertaining enough from the first episode. I really enjoyed the sense of humour, maybe other people found it dull but it's not honestly. The last two episode were so funny and the finale is great too! Hoping to see more of such vignettes on Netflix.

Among the reviews there's one "2" justified by the fact that's hard to follow the film with subtitles...Probably shouldn't give a film a bad review if you couldn't grasp nuances due to not understanding its language?

All in all, if you do speak the language, it is a quirky and irreverent film that -I believe- won't bore you. It could have been better in many ways but saying more would trigger spoilers :)

A depiction of what great lengths philandering husbands will go to satisfy their unbridled libido. Some vignettes are funny but one particular story may hurt the sensibilities of women because of its offensive message and a subtle nod to the husband's machinations.

One of the characters poses a question towards the film's end: when we screw others, are we screwing ourselves? Another emphatically responds: no, we screw those of us who're screwing her. Profound or absurd? Take your pick.

For whatever its worth, the duo Riccardo Scamarcio and Valerio Mastandrea make the viewer laugh at the nutty situations they find themselves in and, perhaps, at himself.

Don't mistake this for the 2021 French film of the same title.

"The Players" isn't politically correct nor is it for all audiences but it's zany characters and storylines make for an entertaining watch.

In this comedy, a collection of vignettes captures the foolishness of several men as they fumble with fidelity and relationships.

Riccardo Scamarcio holds ground in this Italian remake of the French film "Les Infidèles". Fast paced and at times over the top, "The Players" works best when the three main characters are on screen together (which unfortunately isn't very often). However, the film does offer laughs when you'd feel the most uncomfortable. It's a decent enough remake with definite Italian flare.

After the plane scene at the beginning of the film, a sort of gags happen, which seem to be disconnected. Some funny situations, but that is it. Poor ending.
