The SassyFlix Take

If your taste veers toward Mediterranean mischief and boundary-pushing comedy, Sweet Teen serves up a shameless slice of Italian sex farce. With former Miss Italy Daniela Giordano as the beleaguered young wife and Sonia Viviani stealing scenes as the bold niece, expect more than a few raised eyebrows and a parade of risqué set pieces.

From the Vault

From the vault: when Italian comedy went searching for trouble, it often found it in the next bedroom.

Awkward Bedroom Humor

About This Film

This movie is about a middle-age businessman who marries a much younger woman (former Miss Italy Daniela Giordano), but is carrying on with his sexy secretary (Dagmar Lassander). He somehow still has the energy, however, to lust after his wife’s visiting niece (Viviano), although that’s perhaps not surprising as she constantly lolls around in a short mini-skirt with her panties in full display or lies naked in bed playing with her puss (I’m talking about her cat–get your mind out of the gutter!). In the funniest scene she gets alarmed by a noise and insists on sleeping in the same bed with her “uncle”. The man eventually hatches a hare-brained scheme to pay another man, a handsome butcher, to seduce his wife so he can file for divorce and be with the niece. But, of course, it all goes horribly, horribly wrong.
