Village of Daughters

Maybe this should be funny. But it ant. The premise is flawed and while Sykes was a successful scriptwriter and TV actor he cannot carry this film. The script is boring and clichéd. The Italian accents ( LeMesieur's is painfully bad) and stereotypes, vendettas, donkeys, communists, fussy priests and mayors, frumpy mammas, are tiresome after a short while. Most of the actors are English so unconvincing as Sicilians The film seems to rely on buxom babes to keep people watching but this too is rather dull after a while. I found myself not bothering to follow the action( such as it was) because it was confusing and tired. British comedy doesn't always travel well and its not surprising that this odd yawn-fest was never shown in the USA. Id hardly ever say this of a film. But it not really worth watching. After it was over I couldn't think of any moment in it that had been even mildly amusing.
