Movie that seemed strange to me. A boy falls in love with his second wife, who is much younger, his grandfather who has recently died. Technically it's not incest but there is something wrong with that. Even more strange that the woman reciprocates the sentiment even if in the end she suggests to a girl how to be wooed by her nephew.

A steep price to pay

Have you ever wanted to see a male teenager lose his virginity to his grandmother? Well, here's your chance. Of course, it should be said the "grandmother" in this film is a twenty-something Venezuelan hot tamale played by the famous French/Algerian hot tamale of 70's Italian exploitation film, Edwige Fenech. She marries the main character's elderly grandfather who, not surprisingly, dies on his wedding night, and after his death she comes to live with her new in-laws. Of course, she immediately arouses the lust of both her "grandsons", her "son", and even the local priest. The main conceit here is much too ridiculous to be very shocking, but it isn't very funny either. The only reason I can think of that anybody might have watched this movie is to see Fenech naked. But she's been just as naked in a lot better movies. Suffering through this cringe-inducing Italian comedy is a steep price to pay even for die-hard Eurobabe oglers.

If you are like me, you are trying to get a flavor for the Italian sex comedies, and finding it difficult getting dubbed versions of anything, as well as getting bored with the formula. To me, this movie invented the formula: beautiful fenech arrives in town, she showers. men everywhere fall for her in comedic scenarios, until she finally breaks down with one very special... grandson? This 'coming of age' movie captures the awkward horny teenboy thing very nicely (compounding any awkwardness with family relations), the kid is helplessly conniving in keeping his hot granny (not by blood you sick-o!) away from the rest of his family of single horny men (widower dad and suave musician older brother).
Fenech is GORGEOUS in every scene, the music is very catchy, and all other details do not matter. its odd, funny, easy on the eyes, and dare i say, cute? one minor problem, the kid protagonist is pretty weird looking. don't let that stop you from giving it a chance. you wont be sorry for long! 10/10
