A Beautiful Wife (2007) User Reviews

Calendar girl

[jotix100 · 5/10 · 2 August 2012]

Mariano and Miranda are a married couple in a small Tuscan town. They work hard at their vegetable stand. As we get to know them, there is an amateur production of "Grease" being staged. As players, these aspiring thespians do not stand a chance to make a living in the theater. The saving grace is their circle of loyal friends who are also merchants in the square where they sell their wares.

One day, Andrea, a photographer, wanders into the square and spots the gorgeous Miranda. He takes pictures without her knowledge. He has a wonderful idea, how about asking Miranda to pose for what he thinks will make one of those theme calendars in which she will appear surrounded by fruits and vegetables of the season. Andrea sells the idea to his publisher and Miranda suddenly becomes an object of desire, when she decides to pose for the pictures, with Mariano's skeptical approval.

Leonardo Pieraccioni, an actor who directs his own projects, works in comedies that are targeted for audiences wanting to have a pleasant time at the movies. He stars in all of his movies always playing the Tuscan everyday man. This film is good for a few laughs as everything is done with an eye to pleasing as well as entertaining. Laura Torrisi is Miranda and Gabriel Garko is seen as Andrea.

wife is lured into the glitzy bed, then back to the cozy husband's bed

What is the message of this story?

The wife makes a seamless switch from him to the smart guy, when finding out, after a full year, that she is only one of several mistresses he keeps, she goes back to the nice guy husband, who is happy to have her back.

End of story.

More details: The wife gets seduced by the smart guy from the glitzy world, sleeps with him, then tells her husband that he is not really her level.

But does not tell him her betrayal and that she plans to leave him.

Instead, he only learns about her cheating by a finding "love letter", written by her AM, where he describes in great detail "her wonderful night".

She says nothing, but just leaves him now.

She enjoys her new high level life with the smart guy, while his friends get him to date nights, but he never finds a new girl.

After one year, she overhears a phone conversation of "her" guy with another girl, where he makes derogative fun of her, which causes her to make a scene, accusing his (female) assistants of being just whores (funny, she is not divorced, has cheated on her husband, lied, just left him, what does this make her herself???), and leaves him.

She crashes with the car, gets a leg surgery (she will never be able to walk absolutely clearly) her husband keeps her company in the hospital every day, after she asks him: don't leave me.

Funny again, who has left whom?

Finally, when she wants to talk, "since we didn't see each other the whole year" he tells her: "When I sleep too long, I forget a lot. I went to bed yesterday at 9 and woke up today at 10. Did I miss anything?" She: No, you didn't miss anything.

...*** well, actually, while she had fun, he missed a whole year, which he spent in misery *** He: Fine.

And that was it. No "I am sorry" from her, nothing.

Well, there are a lot of really funny additional threads in this movie, but the main plot is really sad, and stops short of any credible behavior of the husband..and wife in the end.

Simple but very funny

Un Moglia Belissima : a very predictable movie with a typical and very linear story but very funny to watch . A very handsome photographer fins a peasant married beauty proposes her to be photographed in nude together with millions of fruits for a annual almanac. She is married with a quite crazy but stupid spouse who talks a lot. The first twist is getting in love with the photographer who surely is a very good to play the Don Juan The third twist is hearing him to call her as a trophy I laughed all this time watching this movie Though I rate it as 8/10 this is because we Greeks as Mediterranean haver nearly the same mood with them even if Italians are even hotter in humor!
