Summary: Now that's Italian!!
Review: Being a NY Italian, I loved this movie! Even though it was a bit campy, it still depicted a warped view of Italian culture and it really wasn't far from the truth. I also loved it because I've been to both places used in this film...on City Island and in New Rochelle. I also loved the cast!! Even though Lainie and Renee aren't Italian, they certainly played their roles perfectly. I recommend this movie to anyone, although if you are Italian, you will enjoy it even more.

Summary: Forget 'Big Fat Greek...': Enjoy this Instead,
Review: Glamourous comic actress Lainie Kazan, Joe Bologna, Paul Sorvino, and brilliant character actress Renee Taylor take you on a 'not just for New Yorkers' joy ride of a romantic comedy which introduced the teenaged Angelina Jolie. It is a Renee Taylor trademark to poke fun at the clash of the lower classes versus the higher classes (a la her contributions to tee vee's The Nanny. No one could tell than she and Fran were *not* related.) and here as Director, co-writer, she is in her element. Unrecognisable is Connie Stevens and Barbara Carrera in platinum hairpieces. The story is essentially Romeo and Juliet without the daggers and the poison but with musings from the so called Patron Saint Roscoe. Kazan is concerned that her husband Joe Bologna cares more for cuddling with the family cat than she: she asks advice from the friendly sooth sayer and neighborhood wacko Renee Taylor who tells her that her son is going to fall deeply for a girl playing Juliet to his Romeo in a school Shakespeare production. Why, this will not and can not be--that Juliet is getting married next week. (Plus she's terrifically over sized.) So when the new family moves in the area has a daughter who happens to know Juliet--well, the jokes and the hilarity comes in one after another. In my opinion, it's just another pleasant way to kill a Sat afternoon. See it for yourself and I think you'll concur.

Summary: Sweet and absolutely hilarious!
Review: How can anyone fault this movie? It's sweet, with a wonderful cast. I think Joseph Bologna and Renee Taylor wrote one of the funniest scripts, and they're performances are just fabulous! Paul Sorvino and Barbara Carrera went right over the top, with their pretentious "Count & Contessa" characters. I'm buying this movie, and I don't often do that, because it's theme of love and soul searching, combined with some of the funniest deliveries is too good not to watch whenever I need a pick-me-up. By the way, I'm not Italian, nor a New Yorker, but a Californian who appreciates talent and humor. Some of the cynical reviewers of this film could learn something from Lainie Kazan!

Summary: not that good
Review: i didn't think this movie was that good, and only worth watching to see angie, thought i though her accent was horrible. You wonder why she chooses these roles, she is such a good actress, and she is oddly gorgeous. i dont think this movie is worth watching, but for those jolie fans, you don't want to miss it.

Summary: this was one of the dumbest movies ever
Review: I wouldn't have sat through this movie, or probably have even turned it on, if Angelina Jolie wasn't in it. If you're a fan of hers, this movie might be worth catching on TV just to see one of her earlier roles and hear the accent she does, which I thought was pretty well done. But other than that, there is no reason to watch it. The jokes are lame, the story is just rehashed, poorly written modernized Romeo and Juliet. The characters are flat and you have to reason to understand why these two fell in love, except for a physical attraction, and you find even less reason for their parents eventually agreement. Overal a huge waste of time.

Summary: This Movie Rocks!!
Review: Ok, first of all, I'm a huge Nathaniel Marston(Jolie's love interest in this movie) fan. He's currently on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live. I watched this movie late one night on the Oh! chanel(oprah's station)because I had heard he'd done a movie with Jolie when they were both 18. This movie is just too cute. I love it. I'm so happy they are releasing it on DVD. Also, on a side note, to any of my MARCAL buddies checking out this review, big hugs to you all!I know you love NM as much as I do. :P

Summary: The Blame Falls on the Producer, Writer & Directors
Review: Potentially this could have been an entertaining movie for those of Italian Heritage. A modern Romeo & Juliet with a twist could have made a funny movie. Instead, the writer added sexy love scenes underserving of the actors involved. Concentration should have revolved around the parents who I felt added much needed comedy to the film. Making a movie costs so much money and this was honestly a waste of "lire." Suggest the writer and directors get input from common movie goers before they ever start a movie. If I were on the board of public opinion, I would have said NO! Don't waste your money on a script like this.
To make matters worse, the plot to have teenagers have sex and get married certainly is not a good roll model for the youth of today. Former Vice President Quail had the right idea when he stressed high moral values for our youth! "Angie, my dear young lady, you should have turn this one down unless you were forced to do so to get another movie contract. Your accent was not convincing to me. Better luck next time. A.J. Carma...
