About

Synopsis

I Don't Speak English (1995) is an Italian comedy starring Paolo Villaggio that you can watch online on iFILM. Sergio Colombo runs a quiet provincial insurance office — right up until a big British firm buys it out from under him.

The new owners' terms are blunt: learn English or lose the job. So middle-aged Sergio packs off to a course in the UK, where he's the only grown-up in a room full of rowdy teenagers and easily the worst student of the bunch. Botched lessons, absurd misunderstandings and the surprise attention of the teacher's wife pile up from there.

Villaggio, the great clown of Italian everyman comedy and the face of the Fantozzi films, anchors all of it. Carlo Vanzina turned out dozens of breezy crowd-pleasers, and this sits squarely among them: simple, good-natured, built around a flustered little man dropped into a ridiculous spot.
