Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
From Academy Award(R)-nominated director Lina Wertmuller (Best Director -- SEVEN BEAUTIES; SWEPT AWAY) comes this spirited comedy hailed by critics coast-to-coast for its vitality and raunchy good humor. CIAO, PROFESSORE! is the story of an upper-class teacher from conservative Northern Italy who, due to a computer error, finds himself teaching third-grade truants at a ramshackle school in the south. Yet along the way, the earnest 'professor' learns some valuable lessons when he begins to see life through the fresh, vibrant eyes of his scrappy young students! Don't miss this rambunctious comedy -- a film absolutely brimming with life!

Now THIS is how you take an old idea and turn it into a damn special film. Teacher from the north gets sent to a school down south full of juvenile delinquents. He's a damn fine actor, naturally, and the kids are just awesome. I don't even like kids, okay? But these are hilarious. Crude humour and talking with expressive gestures as, I suspect, nobody does as well as the Italians. Some serious problems too, not just plot points and BS. It simply can't be improved, and I'll be watching this one again and again.
Rated by buyers -
This movie is one of my all time favorite Italian movies. Like many Italian movies that I have seen, it touches on the issue of poverty and family life in a small town all bundled in to a comedy.
Rated by buyers -
This is definentely a favorite in our home. This is a movie which you can watch over and over again with out ever getting tired. An excellent movie both executed and directed. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Feel those heart jitters? That's a genuine reaction from a heart-squeezing, fast-moving comedy about Marco Sperelli a teacher from uppity Northern Italy who is assigned - mistakenly - to teach street-smart third graders in a town near Naples.
The language might singe my ears if i understood Italian - - even so, a few asterisks or bleeps wouldn't be out-of-place! *Ciao* is vulgar & leaning toward an X-rating but it has just the right mix of garlic, laughter and truly heart-felt *lessons*.
Reviewer mcHAIKU would be surprised if you didn't want to watch more than once this Professore bumbling along . . . confronted by some pretty amazing young actors. Don't let *Back-to-School Sales* get you down - - check out *CIAO, PROFESSORE!* for a busload of laughs.
