      Aender S Roberto Benigni and Nicoletta Braschi in top form. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review C.S.R This movie is hilarious! There was one part in the movie I was laughing so hard I can't remember when I saw a movie that had me in stitches like that? I just happened to come across this movie and I'm so glad I did! A+ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Sam S It's an amazing classic Benigni! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/29/21 Full Review Audience Member Adorable and a good laugh all the way, un-politically correct, with some classics quotes and fresh ideas, one of the best from Benigni pre- Life is Beautiful. Do not miss it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Before ascending to his insurmountable zenith with LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (1997, 8/10), Roberto Benigni's THE MONSTER is a winsome farce about an innocent layabout Loris (Benigni) is wrongly identified as a serial women-slaughterer at large, in order to catch him red-handed, the police force assigns a young policewoman Jessica (Braschi) to go to great lengths to entice him into the irrepressible perpetration (ultimately, a red riding hood costume), therefore, a spate of funny sketches ensure while Loris' resistance is ultra-impenetrable. read rest of my review on my blog: http://wp.me/p1eXom-1ry Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps over the top in a couple of scenes, but Benigni teaches how slapstick should be! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
