I heard of this movie by Roberto Begnini some time ago, and after reading reviews of it who said it was a very good comedy, I decided to buy it. I watched it one evening and then, I got what I wanted out of it. I simply LOVED it. It is what they say; Begnini is a master of comedy, one of those not too many comedians who makes us laugh with our hearts instead of with our heads.
The plot is simple: it centers around a man named Loris(Begnini), who is innocently suspected of being ''The monster'', a serial killer who brutally rapes and murders women around Rome, after he accidentally attacks a woman in a garage with a chainsaw. The police, frustrated by lack of evidence against Loris, decides to do an unusual trick to get the evidence they need: A female police officer named Jessica(Nicoletta Braschi, Begninis wife) moves in with Loris and attempts to provoke him into trying g to kill her. But since he is innocent, this leads to some very bizarre and, above all, very, very funny situations.
This is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. The jokes are both original and hilarious, and all the actors are fantastic. The cinematography is excellent as well, and the music sets just the right tone.
