Such a frustrating disappointment

Am I Missing Something?

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Loved the local scenes and Victoria Rowell is a favorite. Some silly stuff but that made it funny. Very much like the true families of home. Live in NC now and Mom and I enjoyed every minute. The story is like Guess who's coming to Dinner and the native scenes of Camille's and D'Angelo's bring back fond memories of great food and fun. The movie is 11 years old but I had never heard of it before. Watched it on Encore on directv and loved it. I am sending links to friends in RI to look for it so they can enjoy the silliness. I would recommend it to anyone in the new england area familiar with Providence as well as anyone who enjoys mixed family situations. Please check it out and if you can travel to RI please go to Camille's for dinner - it's the best in the city.

As a Rhode Islander of ONLY 22 years, I try to see films about or made in RI. This film captured a segment of Rhode Island life that was very authentic. Anthony (now an actor in LA), who comes from a very proud and ethnocentric Italian family, returns home to Rhode Island for his grandfather's funeral before he's had a chance to tell his family that his fiancé is black. Watching his family handle the "shock" of meeting her, how Anthony deals with them, and their private conflict over everything is a heart-warming and honest depiction of family. The characters were genuine and extremely well acted, and the story was both funny and sad and very human. If you like ethnic movies and watching people learn and grow with each other, this is worth watching. And if you like watching scenes of Providence, it's great.

Came across this Gem and I am Still wondering why? Why Is It in a video Store and not in Theaters. This movie had me laughing so loudly I absolutely Loved it!! Hoping Others will get to see this beaut soon. Everything was great! I thought the acting was great, The Direction was good. The old lady that played the grandmother was a bitch on wheels and I loved her too. Maybe if more people rented this movie maybe it might get released in the theatre. That is what Happened to Reese Silverspoon and her movie Highway With Keifer Sutherland and Brooke Shields!! Worked for her could do the same for these guys. I certainly will be spreading the word on the film and letting others know about it.

What astounds me is that this movie is sitting in the can, while movies like "Murder By Numbers" are made. This is a simple love story, thrown into complex situations, that confronts racism, family values, loyalty, love, and humor.Vincent Pagano and Mike Pagano are both very talented actors that need strong direction and a supporting cast to support them, and to carry them where they are lagging, i.e. name recognition. Rumors are abound of their next upcoming picture, "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph." This time around they might hit the nail on the head, if they stay away from "B" television stars that will force it to go STRAIGHT TO VIDEO.
