Nothing new in the lazy script: the different man/woman perspective on erotic desire, a poor unimaginative dialogue, many scenes borrowed from previous 1960's Italian comedies (Signore e Signori, Sedotta e Abbandonata come to mind). However, it is mildly entertaining and worth your time, if you like the genre. Probably the most original episode is the Fantozzi's like behavior of a desperate herbal remedies rep that is dying to get laid at a corporate meeting dinner, and progressively downgrades his aim for a bed companion in the course of the evening. The acting is a bit limited and as a consequence characters are flat and uninspiring.
