When me wife and I read The Washington Post review we knew this was a movie to see. My wife was raised in Brooklyn by an Italian mother and I'm from the Mohawk Valley raised by an Italian stepfather. This movie touched on all American families complexities with a sensitive yet tough mother, an easygoing sweet father and a teenager who is difficult to read. Romano's writing and acting have always been terrific when telling sweet and humorous family tales. Every actor here is perfectly cast and the script is wonderful. You'll laugh, get teary eyed, and want the movie to never end. Oh, we had our wedding reception in an Italian hall like Romano's. It was great fun returning there for a visit today.
