According to the official synopsis Alfonso, who has never seen eye-to-eye with his father, makes a startling discovery after the latter's death: His father was a gigolo. Now Alfonso finds himself in financial straits and decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become a man of pleasure himself, and in doing so learns a lot about his late father, the profession, the clients, and of course life itself.

Christian De Sica

One of Italy's best-known actors De Sica is the son of Vittorio and Maria Mercader. The 72-year-old starred opposite Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in the 'The Tourist' and played Impresario Beppi in the acclaimed series 'Mozart in the Jungle'. 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.
