A Catholic woman goes into the confessional and starts confessing her masturbation addiction; which leads to a more and more graphic exposition of her habits until the priest is rather discomfited. ---

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen porn with such a scenario. Not quite “comedy” though. ---

Madonna goes to confession in _A League of Their Own_, but what she confesses is left to the imagination. The priest does come out disheveled and sweaty though. ---

It sounds familiar, but I can’t place it. I’d guess something vaguely in the slash movie parody genre, for some reason. ---

It sounds a bit like Roberto Benigni’s scene in “Night On Earth”. He plays a taxi driver in Rome who picks up a priest. Benigni begins confessing his sins, then goes into his sexual experiences with pumpkins, sheep and his brother’s wife. Pretty hilarious as I recall. ---

Quick googling makes it sound to me like The Counselor with Cameron Diaz. Maybe that’s it? ---
