Medieval nuns Alessandra (Alison Brie), Fernanda (Aubrey Plaza), and Ginevra (Kate Micucci) lead a simple life in their convent. Their days are spent chafing at monastic routine, spying on one another, and berating the estate’s day laborer. After a particularly vicious insult session drives the peasant away, Father Tommasso (John C. Reilly) brings on new hired hand Massetto (Dave Franco), a virile young servant forced into hiding by his angry lord. Introduced to the sisters as a deaf-mute to discourage temptation, Massetto struggles to maintain his cover as the repressed nunnery erupts in a whirlwind of pansexual horniness, substance abuse, and wicked revelry. Loaded with comedic talent and written with an off-kilter, yet knowing touch, The Little Hours is an immensely charming romp. Writer/director Jeff Baena’s riotous follow-up to Sundance Film Festival favorites Life After Beth and Joshy has transferred the nervy comedic energy from his earlier work to the Middle Ages with hilarious results.

"This was too funny, but I think you need to watch it twice to fully appreciate the humour (at least for me). Glad to have this release on bluray. The design of the slip cover is very well done as well. Loaded with fun extras and features, language."
"I re-watched this twice in the same weekend- how often does that happen these days?"
"This film went under the radar and features a stellar cast giving great performances. The two commentaries included are insightful and entertaining, and the packaging is fantastic."
"I had never heard this movie before I bought the Blu-Ray on a sale. Surprisingly I knew the whole cast. Also surprisingly they annoyed me a lot. I understand that this is the gimmick of the movie but they still annoyed me. The gimmick in case you are wondering is nuns in the Middle Ages acting like modern teenagers. Also the nudity near the end looked super-fake, as if they stuck a toupee between their legs trying to pass it for pubic hairs. Was this supposed to be joke I didn't get? Or the actresses have a real hair problem? Who knows. . ."
"This was one of the main items I was after during the recent OOP sale and I'm glad I was able to grab one. One of my favourite slips as well!"
"Funny cast and performances in this dark nun comedy set in the middle ages. Highly recommended. 4/5 stars!"
"Love the cast!"
"Destined to be a classic. Super funny, well acted, and the music and camera work is great. Must have."
"I like it after multiple watch"
"Kind of a trifle of a movie but its a nice disc with a decent transfer and some good special features. Silly stuff throughout with great performances from the three leading ladies."
