This is a great movie from the late 80's. Hardly anyone knows about this flick and its almost impossible to find, but it is worth the search. A great date movie because, chances are, she's never seen it!

Just imagine, one day your penis starts talking to you - giving you its points of view, opinions, complaints, suggestions, and teaching you life lessons. Well, I most certainly can not but I thought that the idea was interesting. The movie is a loose adaptation of great Alberto Moravia's novel (notable adaptations of his novels include Vittorio De Sica's "Two Women" (1960), based on "La Ciociara", Jean-Luc Godard's" Contempt: (1963), from "Il Disprezzo", and Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Conformist" (1970), from the book of the same name) and I thought that it was funny. Occasionally...

The movie won a Golden Screen award in 1988 - which is presented to the distributors of domestic and foreign feature films - including documentary and children films - with more than 3,000,000 admissions within 18 months since their release or re-release in Germany. "Me and Him" won the award along with "A Fish Called Wanda", (1988), "Rain Man" (1988), and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988). Now, this fact made me laugh really hard.

Cute rather than funny, this film is a very weak offering from Doris Dorrie. Her films "Men" and "Money" are much better. These films frame Dorrie's comic sensibility with a wicked irony. The editorial description here at Amazon says "Me and Him" is based on an Italian story. But if you're looking for a great Italian slapstick comedy, I recommend "Johnny Stecchino," directed by Roberto Benigni.
