I actually bought the idea that "Caligula" (1979) has been remade and I somehow managed not to know anything about it. I recommend this to anyone who thinks they might like it and can handle the direct nature of some of it. Whether or not you enjoy this depends on your constitution and what you find funny. This is heavily stylized, from the glossy look, through the costumes and sets to the casting. Heck, the one thing that's "realistic" here is that it's a remake. Violence, gore and blood are fine by the standards, but not *that*. And then there's the sheer amount of explicit sex and nudity. and yes, she's gorgeous as usual), and we know she has a sense of humor. Only a few aren't of that age, such as Jovovich(who, I'll be perfectly honest, was the reason I looked for this at all. Do you really see this getting made? No young stars of dubious talent, rather, the people in this can actually act, and most are middle-aged or older still. It's a spoof, not a "fake", as it was never intended to be a promotion for an actual film, no such thing was ever in production. While I have not seen the original Caligula, I do know of the content and controversy. No one should take the reveal near the conclusion seriously. If you don't realize it before that time, then by the end of having watched this, there should not be any doubt left in your mind this was a joke.
