Christian De Sica

One of Italy's best-known actors De Sica is the son of Vittorio and Maria Mercader.

He is famous for his roles in cinepanettoni (the farcical Italian comedy movies released around Christmas).

Is 'Gigolò per caso' worth watching?

The plot reads a bit like a cross between John Turturro's 'Fading Gigolo' and Ron Schneider's 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo' and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Expect some seriously hilarious moments interwoven with poignancy and romance. We're going to be watching it.
