8	A 2007 erotic comedy film making fun of historical and sexual stereotypes, written and directed by David Leland and starring Creator/HaydenChristensen, Creator/MischaBarton, Creator/TimRoth, and Creator/RyanCartwright.

10	The film is also known as ''Decameron Pie'' -- and, indeed, it could be summarized as: ''Literature/{{Decameron}}'' (yes, the one with the plague in Florence) meets ''Film/AmericanPie'' (yes, the one with Stifler), with the link between both works being the obsession with virginity. Even though in general the plot does not make much sense, it contains numerous references to Creator/{{Boccaccio}}'s work -- especially to the first story told during the third day. The style of humour is close to that from ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' (though a little bit subtler), including sudden appearances of supernatural entities which look painted on the sky's surface.

12	----
13	!!Contains the examples of:
14
15	%%* AllWomenAreLustful: Especially the NaughtyNuns.
16	%%* AnachronismStew: Omnipresent (this underlines the mix of conventions in the film).
17	%%* ArrangedMarriage: Between Pampinea and the Count.
18	* BadHabits: The narrator, whose career path begins at thieving and then painting religious frescoes, only for him to become a [[spoiler:self-proclaimed]] priest.
19	* BatheHerAndBringHerToMe: A rare male example with Lorenzo and the two nuns, who have him bathe before [[TwoPersonPoolParty joining him]].
20	* BiggerIsBetterInBed: {{Invoked}} by Melissa and Filomena in the trick which they conceived in order to escape from the bandits' camp.
21	* TheCasanova: Lorenzo, who has sex with multiple ''nuns'' over the course of the film. It helps that he's a handsome young man, probably the only male they have contact with.
22	* CleaningUpRomanticLooseEnds: At the end of the film, Dimitri comes to marry Pampinea, driving a wedge between her and Lorenzo. Yet then it turns out he mistook her with Elissa (whom he had sex with and now loves). After that however, Lorenzo is reluctant to marry her either as he's still pining for the mysterious "nun" who kissed him. Yet this turns out to be Pampinea, so everyone ends up with the one they love.
23	* {{Confessional}}: Gerbino and Pampinea make confessions before [[spoiler:their wedding]], though the "priest" they're confessing to is really a fake.
24	* CorruptChurch: Not less than Boccaccio's work, most clergy in the film appear pretty indifferent to their whole vocation, happily breaking the vows they took by having sex.
25	%%* CourtlyLove: personified in Count Dzerzhinsky.
26	%%* DoubleEntendre: a whole lot of them.
27	%%* TheDulcineaEffect: Count Dzerzhinsky and his love for Pampinea.
28	* FanserviceExtra: The two sexy young nuns who disrobe to have sex with Lorenzo in the bath, largely seen [[ToplessnessFromTheBack from the back]] and [[{{Sideboob}} side]]. Later there's another undressing as well for sex with him beside her friend and shows her right breast doing so (they're equally attractive).
29	%%* ForbiddenFruit: just look at the title.
30	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Used by Melissa and Filomena to distract their captors.
31	%%* GoGoEnslavement: Melissa and Filomena.
32	* GreenEyedMonster: Pampinea's jealousy triggered the events which forced Lorenzo [[spoiler:to abandon the convent]].
33	* GroinAttack: The abbess fakes that one is about to happen against Lorenzo when he's dozing, so he'll panic and cry out, proving he's really not a deaf-mute.
34	* LongList: Dimitri insists on listing his long name, title, his father's title, that he's his father's first son etc. every time he meets someone.
35	* LovesMyAlterEgo: Lorenzo and Pampinea (alias the Perfectly Kissing Nun).
36	* MaleFrontalNudity: The bandits drop their pants, at Elissa's urging, so she and Filomena can "take a look at the tackle". It's just a ploy for them to escape when she incites the men into fighting over the pair.
37	* MrFanservice: Lorenzo is a very handsome young man who's often seen shirtless. The nuns find him appealing enough, apparently, that he's able to sleep with four without really doing anything.
38	* MsFanservice: Elissa, who does a striptease in one scene, then emerges from the river nude later.
39	* NaughtyNuns: Lorenzo receives shelter in a convent by pretending he's deaf and mute, after which they provide him work there as a gardener. He soon sleeps with a number of the young nuns, until Pampinea (who's tracked him down) tells the abbess the truth, making him abandon it.
40	* NotQuiteDead: Lorenzo, after his having been [[spoiler:stricken on the neck with Gerbino's sword]].
41	* ObfuscatingDisability: Lorenzo pretends he's deaf and mute so he can stay in a convent. He uses it as an opportunity to have sex with a number of the nuns until Pampinea exposes his ruse to the abbess.
42	%%* OldManMarryingAChild: Gerbino and Pampinea.
43	%%* SpaghettiAndGondolas: all around.
44	%%* ScarpiaUltimatum: Gerbino, [[spoiler:Lorenzo]] and Pampinea.
45	%%* SexAsRiteOfPassage: the main theme of the film.
46	* SexSlave: This is the fate the bandits have in store for Elissa and Felomena, but the former finds them a way to escape before it can happen.
47	%%* ShirtlessScene: numerous times, with Lorenzo.
48	%%* ShowSomeLeg: almost every woman in the film.
49	* SkipToTheEnd: Gerbino, during his wedding.
50	* SupernaturalAid: Strongly subverted - when the characters hear voices or have visions, it is usually their own self-preservation instinct, and even though some events are interpreted as miracles by the characters, none of them really is one.
51	* TeenyWeenie: One of the bandits is very small, and mocked for it roundly.
52	* ThreewaySex: Lorenzo is bathing when two nuns get in the tub with him and they have sex. Later on another pair come into his room for this too.
53	%%* ToiletHumour: omnipresent.
54	* TwoPersonPoolParty: Lorenzo and the nuns who get in the bath with him to have sex.
