It tries to be a Monty Python and it has potential to be the Airplane!
In the end it's not a bad flick, but only 10% as funny (or just fun) as it could be. It had amazing potential, but all the actors who are fun in real life are actually way too serious in The Little Hours. Some of it is by design, but most of it feels more serious like an attempt to mask the sarcasm, which in the end doesn't work. You can find bits of humor and sarcasm, but definitely not enough. It feels like a wasted opportunity to make a great movie, because once you have the script and put so much time into making a movie, why not put an extra effort to make it truly great?
