We Have A Pope! And we have a mildly amusing movie about the selection of a Pope, who doesn’t really want to be the Pope, which sets off a series of sorta funny situations of cardinals doing cardinal stuff and doing normal people stuff!!!  OH THE HILARITY!  Not really, but Nanni Moretti really wishes you found it hilarious, which it probably would be, for anyone who lives in Vatican City, which is not many of us!
The flick is basically split into two parts. One revolves around the reluctant Pope (Michel Piccoli), who ‘escapes’ from the Vatican and roams round Rome, wandering and wondering about life outside of the red robes, and reminiscing about childhood and things and stuff.  The other half focuses on a psychiatrist (Moretti), whose original job was to get to the bottom of the reluctant Pope’s demons, but since the Pope fled, he makes the most of his time by keeping the rest of the cardinals entertained, even forcing them to play volleyball.  Cardinals playing volleyball, ha!!!  The Pope in every day situation bits is overly sentimental and not all that interesting, even though it probably should be.  The bits where the cardinals are playing volleyball is the only thing worth keeping score of.   Cardinals playing volleyball, ha HA!!!
moral of the story – if yer hard up for Papal humor or Papal anything, by all means, have We Have A Pope, but if you’d rather watch something more churchy and educmacational, peas peas peas watch the doc Constantine’s Sword
Verdictgo: Sum Merit But No Stinkin Badges
