Three Men and a Leg

1997 · 98 min

A loose, sun-baked Italian road comedy where three hapless friends bumble through mishaps, and the joy comes from their comic chemistry.

Tagline: WANTED: A Leg, Dead or Alive
Overview: Friends Aldo, Giovanni, and Giacomo cross Italy from north to south for Giacomo's wedding: the father of the bride, a despotic magnate who is both their boss and father-in-law—since Aldo and Giovanni have also married into the family not for love but for money, a fate now awaiting Giacomo—has entrusted them with a priceless piece of modern art, one that looks just like a rather unremarkable wooden leg.
How it feels: Absurd, light, satirical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, identity, love, freedom
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
