I love historical films and this movie appeared to be a fun filled, sexy love triangle romp through the beautiful Florence countryside. Against everything I stand for, I bought it without watching it first. BIG MISTAKE!!! The only redeeming features of this film was the countryside (magnificent), Tim Roth's acting, and the costumes (historical with a modern twist). Everything else was horrible!!!! The first 3/4 of the film is jumbled and apparently, plot less. So they fill it with boobs galore and winged penises. The love of Hayden C.'s character for Micsha B.'s wasn't even noticeable and lacked chemistry.To sum it up I'd call it "a wannabe soft core pron". Ended up returning it for a better movie. And never again will I buy before renting!

When you view the trailer for VIRGIN TERRITORY, it is clear the marketing department is trying to attract those who went ga-ga over Baz Luhrmann's not totally dissimilar 1996 avant-garde literary adaptation, ROMEO + JULIET, which IMDb users have rated 40 per cent better than director David Leland's hatchet job on Giovanni Boccacchio's centuries-old bacchanalia, THE DECAMERON. When you listen to ancient wind-bag producer Dino De Laurentiis expound on VIRGIN TERRITORY's "Making of . . . ," it's clear his team had one thing in mind: a cheap youth-oriented sexploitation pic. The titillating but hardly relevant retitling of the film is only the first clue to the cringe-worthiness of this non-effort. (I personally prefer the Italian title, DECAMERON PIE, as it some aptly evokes a picture of Boccacchio-style ribaldry devolving to the thoughtless raunch of the endless AMER!CAN PIE movie series.) Within the first few minutes of VIRGIN, someone falls into a pool of excrement, and the dialog is delivered with a constant stream of incongruous accents and anachronistic modern obscenities. Worse yet, the Black Death Plague theme is milked for a few attempts at humor that totally misfire, after which the pretense of a historical setting is abruptly dropped. The lame pretense at religious satire or sacrilege pulls its punch, and the alleged sex scenes are for the most part brief erotic-free zones. Not everyone can pull off Fellini's SATYRICON (1969), but a word to the wise: when you pump out crap like VIRGIN TERRITORY, do NOT crow about it on a "Making of . . . " Rather, take your money and run--fast!

Virgin Territory is for secondary and high-school teens. If you're older than 18, you can't get any taste from this work of fiction, or wise to say, a tale.Tim Roth, Mischa Barton and Hayden Christensen form a love triangle. Tim Roth is the bad guy, the grim Roman knight; Mischa Barton is the princess popular with her virginity; and Hayden Christensen is an adventurer exactly seems like Robin Hood. By the way, we have a narrator, our storyteller who also plays a role, too.The tale takes place in feudal Europe, at the age of Roman Empire, and in the most leisured class of this empire: Florence. It's the epoch just before the invention of the gunpowder. Nevertheless, there is no historical coherence in this movie; for it's a fantasy. An absolutely complete fantasy of a craftsman working at the construction of a cathedral, who is also our narrator. While he was drawing artistic figures to the ceiling, he dreamed of an erotic and desirous fantasy of one man and a full nunnery of nuns playing the doctor-and-patient game altogether.If you're not from this world or have never watched a B-movie about nuns teaching sexology to a lad yet, then this could be a movie for you. The eroticism factor of Virgin Territory is very modern. Within a negative view, it's purposely making fun of the people who don't believe in sex before marriage. In an optimistic view, love still exists; at least whoever in love with someone, stays in love with the same one at the end.A funny and total shameless teen adventure movie for both boys and girls is what you will find. Don't worry if it's disturbing, obviously it's not. It's basically a modernization of 80s' eroticism epoch. New generation youth wouldn't watch Emmanuelle, right?

I laughed (out loud) once. I hardly think that constitutes a 'comedy' for me.There are a few witty one-liners, and a touch of situational humor, but most of the humor is pretty stale and dry. I think they were trying for something along the lines of The Princess Bride, but missed the mark entirely.There were a few sword-fights, but that hardly supports an entire 'adventure', and the plot was utterly formulaic and you could see 10 minutes ahead of the film at any given point.As for the romance, well, the ONE romantic idea present in the film just wasn't enough to qualify it for a romance film either.My hat is off to anyone who can find an ounce of drama in this movie either...So, what is it? Something to pass the time if you literally have nothing else to do. As I mentioned before, I'd recommend watching the Princess Bride if you haven't, or watching it again, rather than watch this.I gave it three stars because the acting wasn't terrible, there were those witty one-liners, and I did manage to laugh once.
