    Worthless trash. I put this on as background noise because the cable guide description made it sound decent -- kind of a cross between CANTERBURY TALES and FLESH AND BONE. I saw that Tim Roth was in it, so it seemed OK. How wrong I was. Roth must have done this because he needed ... read moresome extra money to pay off his Christmas debt. Turns out that it's a soft-core sex comedy, and a badly-done one at that. I should have paid heed to the rest of the cast -- Hayden Christienson and Mischa Barton. I'm glad I only half-watched it. Had I wasted any real time on it, I would be embarrassed and pissed at myself.

    Wonderfully sexy and funny comedy that's part between Carry On and American Pie. Combining old world aesthetics and contemporary sensibilities, the film, based on a novel by author Giovanni Boccaccio, has a little bit of everything - laughs, romance, adventures and ... read morethrills!

    Hayden Christensen, Mischa Barton, Matthew Rhys and Tim Roth star in this medieval tale which is a mixture between a parody and a sex comedy and aims to entertain the audience, with a certain amount of gratuitous nudity and sexual innuendo,. Recommended just for the giggles, nice... read more cinematography and costumes!

    American Pie meets Medieval Times. Virgin Territory is the story about a teenage maiden with three suitors during the Bubonic plague and decides to run from at least one of them. (Okay, so a little bit of Runaway Bride thrown in too). It also lightly and amusingly discusses the i... read moremportance of virtue and virginity and the two aren't necessarily interchangeable. I liked it. It was entertaining. Craig Parkinson had to be the best part about this film. He was effortlessly funny. And the three hours didn't actually feel that long. Hayden Christensen is actually kinda hot when he isn't being pretentious and above it all. And I see Mischa Barton has gotten perfectly pigeon-holed into the "poor little rich girl" typecast role. The character Tindaro even says so in the film! Give it a look-see if you've got 3 hours to kill.

    I think it's safe to say that this "film" was the most screwed up piece of work i've ever watched.
    Apart from the irrelevant music soundtrack, retarded nuns, nudity, and just plain absurd random crap, It was a really decent movie. But overall really odd.. I enjoyed the swordfigh... read moreting and all. I don't know how to explain how ridiculous this movie was.

    This movie wasn't what I expected, and, this time, that wasn't a good thing. I love period films, with the costumes, etc., but this one I couldn't get into. I just didn't think it was very interesting.

    I have wandered into Virgin Territory, and I do not like the view. The movie is near-trash. It's like watching a porno in which the acting and special effects are worse than usual. I thought that, this being a lesser-known film, it would have a certain charm to it, but there's... read more nothing charming about a stupid premise and a terrible plot. Hayden Christensen is the worse thing about it. Seriously, how does this guy have a job? I'm a better actor than he is. I saw a tree outside earlier that acted better than he does. Needless to say, Virgin Territory is a waste through-and-through. It helps that it's an obscure title and I wouldn't recommend you digging it up. "Heck nah."

    "Not all virgins are angels and not all angels are virgins..." is the opening line of this film.
    This is a story of young adults in Florence, in the time of the plague. Sexually repressed virgins, who think of hardly anything else.
    Starring Hayden Christensen and The O.C.'s Mi... read morescha Barton. She is betrothed to one, and in love with another. He is wanted and trying to escape the sword.
    I am a sucker for romance, so I was semi entertained by Virgin Territory. It stuck me as a B rate cross between something like The Princess Bride and A Knight's Tale. Only not as good and with more nudity.
    It was a decent story, just seemed to fall a little flat in parts.
    If romance gets you, or you believe you can truly fall in love from just one kiss, you will get some amusement out of this film.

    I never saw a preview so I didn't really know what to expect, but it was at least funny. However, not enough to warrent another watch.

    pretty good flick with a lot of comedy, lots of boob shots, so be aware if you happen to have kids around while watching this one.

It's an offering of bawdy behavior without a pinch of inspiring sparkle, and the more it tries to assume a provocative posture, the more the feature humiliates itself. Lighthearted ogling shouldn't in... Full Review
