Verdict: "The Little Hours" takes place in a convent, during the Middle Ages, in which the behavior of the local nuns gets the gardener to quit and be replaced by Massetto, a young servant escaping from his master. The movie stars a bunch of comedic talents, including Alison Brie, Dave Franco, Kate Micucci, Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman and John C. Reily. Talents that unfortunately all played versions of themselves in religious clothes, which got boring after the first 15 minutes. And this is why I found the film quite disappointing. It felt like a 15-minute sketch stretched into a 90-minute comedy, which resulted in the movie becoming repetitive really fast. In addition, a lot of jokes didn't land for me, and I felt sometimes that they were trying too hard to get a laugh from the audience. "The Little Hours", in conclusion, is not really worth the detour unless you're a fan of one of the actors involved.

Final Grade: 4/10
