As Good As It Gets

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film is just super. Old, but so cool. There is no vulgarity, as in most films today. And it's considered ridiculous. And then why the generation is now. Here, funny and without vulgar. You can, learn new comedies in such films. I advise you to look.

The main advantage of the film "The Taming of the Shrew" is an outstanding actor's play. Adriano Celentano was excellent in the role of lone farmer misogynist Elia. And Ornella Muti irresistibly played the role of Lizzie Silvestri, who wanted to win the heart of a brutal bachelor. Celentano created the incomparable image of a wayward man who does not understand humor. I really enjoyed it. I think Elia's role is one of the best roles of Celentano in his entire career. Ornella Muti brilliantly played the role of a liberated seducer too, but Adriano overacted her. By the way, thanks to the film "The Taming of the Shrew", the little-known actress Ornella has gained worldwide fame, she was invited to appear in foreign film projects.Also very funny original humor became a great plus of the movie "The Taming of the Shrew". The jokes in the movie are extremely funny. For example: Ornela appears in the evening dress as the queen of the ball. Andriano, with boundless astonishment, rises from his chair, approaches Ornella, bends down and raises a black beetle from the ground. "You see, what a beautiful - this is a rare species of scaly-winged." And he brings this beetle to Ornella's face, she was indignant and walked away.In conclusion, I want to recommend to all fans of excellent comedies to watch the film "The Taming of the Shrew." My score on a ten-point scale is ten with a plus. I advise everyone who has not seen this movie to see it. You will not regret.

OK, maybe a 8 is a bit too high (depends on your standards), but it was much better than I had a right to expect. First, unlike the other reviewers, I care not at all for Adriano Celentano, his music or his popular persona. So, what I like about the role he plays is that he makes fun of himself. At least I hope, for his sake, that he was making fun of himself and not playing himself in any way. The title, in Italian, is the masculine equivalent of "The Taming of the Shrew", and the story is more or less turning that play on its head. Maybe a little less, in that both the man and the woman play the object of the humor at various points, but the point being that the unconquerable (man) is, in the end, brought down by love. And Ornella Muti is, at this time, at the top of her game in every way. I couldn't help noticing that mole right in the middle of the bridge of her nose, though. Was it just for this film? The dialogue is great in Italian, and Celentano's deadpan delivery hits it just right, as does Muti's as a rich, spoiled Milanese man eater--I hope it translates OK.I have to say that the ending, with the very unrealistic basketball game, was cartoonish, and somewhat ruined the structured comedy, charming but rude, which preceded it.

I have seen this movie many times, and it never fails to make me laugh. Celentano's genius in acting is shown clearly through his actions in this movie, where he is supposed to be a "hard-head" man who never wants to get married and doesn't find women attractive. However, through her many seductions, Ornella Muti finally makes him love her(enough that he marries her at the end). It's really funny to see how Celentano tries to resist her seductive manners every time she tries. I dont know what else to say; its one of those movies that you have to see to really understand how funny it is. Everyone should watch this; it's a good, clean, funny Italian comedy :)
