The Little Hours seldom rises above a clever but lightweight one-liner.
Anachronism, as it turns out, is the guiding force of this frequently funny, agreeably bawdy farce, which imagines what a convent of the grubby, violent, disease-infested Middle Ages might look and sound like if it were populated by characters straight out of a modern NBC sitcom.
The Little Hours is reasonably entertaining, but it hints just enough at something deeper that it may well leave you wanting.
