The Little Hours proudly wears its influences on its sleeve, making them known from the moment the film begins. With long opening zooms into the Italian countryside and a top notch score by Dan Romer, The Little Hours looks and feels like a Monty Python sketch with the comedic tone and ambitions of a Mel Brooks parody. It’s by-and-large writer and director Jeff Baena’s most successful directorial outing to date - following the drab Life After Beth and unimpressive Joshy - even if it’s not nearly as funny, biting, or smart as the films it’s so clearly trying to emulate.
Set in 14th century Italy, The Little Hours follows the antics of a group of nuns living in a remote convent far away from any real semblance of civilization. Led by John C. Reilly’s laid-back, lovable Father Tommasso and Molly Shannon’s light hearted Mother Superior, the convent looks on the surface like any other might. What separates it from the rest, however, are the personalities of its three foul-mouthed nuns - Alessandra (Alison Brie), Genevra (Kate Micucci), and Fernanda (Aubrey Plaza) - who jump at the chance to yell at and berate any unsuspecting passerby.
