Light-hearted fun about a dysfunctional family and how their situations are resolved. Entertaining and easy to watch with a pretty good story. Good characters to watch.

Writer/director Raymond de Felitta doesn't quite hit the small town quirkiness of Wes Anderson but he does manage to deliver a warmhearted tale about adults growing up, children growing wiser, and dreams being realized. Cute.

Not really a comedy as such, more of a slice-of-life of a loud, non-communicating middle-class suburban New York Italian family. Nice performance by Andy Garcia tho'.

ANOTHER GREAT MOVIE ACTED AND PRODUCED BY ANDY GARCIA..
GLAD I HEARD ABOUT IT DURING PREVIEWS OF ANOTHER MOVIE.
FAT CHICKS ADDED HUMOR TO THE MOVIE.

Before I saw this film, Juliana Margulies and Andy Garcia both disappointed me after being really impressed with some of their first major roles. After not seeing them for quite some time, I was really blown away with their acting…

Great fun, smart directing, awesome use of locations, and tight-knit ensemble cast... the best I've ever seen from Andy Garcia and Julianne Marguiles. I was really pleasantly surprised at this good-humoured family dramedy and how…

This movie is a great exposition of the variety of men in the world, from the skinny teen who "digs fat chicks", to the smokin' hot hunk with a conscience, to the devoted family man filled with guilt about his inability to be a proper…

Just-average exploration of the upheavals & internal politics of a modern blue-collar Bronx family. But I did particularly admire the younger son's taste in women.
