The Taming of the Scoundrel

Celentano create an anonymous profile,Mutti takes the angelic beauty from heaven into a strong,determined character. Love this movie for every second. All scenes prepared by immensely chef-d'oeuvre artistique. When I look back 80s that's more amused and creatively. He is a charming actually soft hearted and precious.

I loved Celentano's "Joan Lui": it's one of the best "so bad so good" movie I've ever seen. So I've tried to watch others movies with him.

Let's go with this one:

Sexist? Yes. Funny? Depends: do you like unfunny Italian 80s comedy? Plot? Next question please. Characters? Lisa (Ornella Muti) has serious script problems. Dialogs? Classic Celentano's no-sense talking: "Sure at 100%" "100 x 100?" "10'000!" "Why?", it's up to you if this is a pro or a cons.

In the whole movie I would save only the 2 trashiest moment: the crushing of grapes and the basket game. You could see that behind the camera, in these two scenes, there is the "genius" hand of Celentano: strange music, weird Adriano dance and epileptic editing!

well first let me say i like adriano celentano and his movies at all. he plays awesome in his movies,he plays the super macho and he did his job very good,really.i dont know if this movie is available in english,as for myself i saw it when i was on vacation in germany and i loved it.i watched all the other "celentanos" and he´s the best,really. if you like 80´s comedies and your able to understand any language in which it was released,you shouldnt stop waiting.A+++

A superb Italian comedy that I keep watching everytime I am with a new girlfriend because it is a sure thing to enjoy and comment afterwards ......Celentano,s serious face when he delivers his punchlines are all the money and on the other hand Ornella,s irresistable beauty is fully blossomed....her mole on the bridge of her nose was is and will be the most distinquishable imperfection surpassing easily Scarlet Johansons swollen lip or Natalie Dormer,s cruked smile......... the girl is a godess ...and the chemistry between her and Adriano is undeniable......allthough Ornella is a happy grandmother now and plays barefoot with her grandchildren till her feet turn black (we are fb friends) she still remains as beautiful as ever

Elia is a confirmed bachelor in the thirties, living with a housemaid in an Italian village. The film starts with men talking about Elia's unbearable character, and these statements are illustrated by him entering and insulting everybody who comes in his way. The housemaid finds women for Elia, but he always succeeds in chasing them away with his awfulness until on a rainy night beautiful Lisa knocks on the door...

Although this film is done with little expense, its obviously exaggerated character can be very amusing. Undoubtedly it is a matter of taste; either you love it or you hate it.
