Absolutely Fantastic

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

"Lookin' Italian" opens with nocturnal panoramic shots of New York, and then has a brief but decent shootout. After that, it is devoid of interest apart maybe from Matt LeBlanc's impressive biceps (he also has extended shirtless scenes). After this role, he wisely decided to steer clear of this kind of overwrought drama - his talents are elsewhere. The portrayal of Italian Mafia is so cliched that you could wrap it up in spaghetti. * out of 4.

I bought this movie a couple of days ago in a three movie pack for $2.99. I quite enjoyed this film, But apparently this is Matt Leblanc's first film because he is credited as 'Introducing' him in the main titles at the beginning. What can I say about this film that hasn't been said, the acting is pretty bad, laughable shootout at the beginning. Jay Avocone is pretty good as Vinny the brother of Anthony( Matt Leblanc). Overall this film is pretty bad, but I quite enjoyed it. It's much better than Ed with Matt Leblanc which is a piece of crap. My friend thought it was pretty good too. I give it 4/10 my friend gave it 5/10.

Very very bad. A list of bad things: - The story - The acting - The FilmThis film contains probably one of the worst efforts of acting that i have ever seen from Matt LeBlanc. I don't consider him to be a great actor anyway, but his performance in Lookin' Italian can only be described as generic.The story idea is nothing particularly inventive, a tale of discovery of ones origins and coming to terms with it. While this might work in a film with some cinematographic flair, Lookin' Italian fails to make it the least bit interesting. Couple this with the predictable plot "twists" and you end up with a film that quickly becomes a waste of precious electricity.

If you took this movie and edited it down to 15 mins you would have a parody that would not look out of place in something like the Kentucky Fried Movie. As it is the over acting, shoddy direction and awful script just add up to another wasted hour and a half.
