Best movie of this year hands down!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Class. This film ain't got it.Laughs. This film has.This is a wacky sort of low class version of "Romeo And Juliet", and I imagine Shakespeare is rolling over in his grave every time it's shown on cable. But I laughed. Out loud.It's a remarkably good cast. Lainie Kazan -- one of America's most underrated performers -- is great here as a klitzy Italian mother. Joseph Bologna is fine as her husband...together they own a very pedestrian Italian restaurant. Paul Sorvino is genuinely funny as another Italian restaurateur...but a classy one. Barbara Carrera, as his wife, did not impress me.Not everyone impresses here. I never got the attraction to William Hickey, who here plays a priest (which is ironic, as the priest in my home town when I was growing up was Father William Hickey). Dick Van Patten is fine...he has virtually no speaking part. Abe Vigoda is wasted, and has little more than a few lines here and there. Connie Stevens...why? Interesting to see an appearance by Joy Behar.The two lovers? Well, buckle your seat belts. Angelina Jolie is rather unattractive and demonstrates little acting ability...in a performance I'm sure embarrasses her today. On th other hand, Nathaniel Marston is perfect as the boy.Want a few belly laughs? Like ethnic humor? Then you'll probably enjoy this goofy film. I did.

OMG this is one of the worst films iv ever seen and iv seen a lot I'm a Film student. I don't understand why Angelina Jolie would be in this movie? Did she need the money that badly? I love AJ and have seen almost everything shes ever been in so i watched this 2 tick another one off. It was SOO bad! not even good bad, just bad bad. It had 1 or 2 funny little moments but all in all it was bad n a waste of 101 minutes. I cant even say AJ looked good in it because well she didn't. The plot is predictable unless you r expecting a re-telling of Romeo and Juliet then its not. All round disappointing. Maybe if your 12 this could be a good film otherwise I really don't recommend it.

I, too, stumbled upon this movie late one night on cable, and woke my husband up laughing and punching him in the ribs!Renee Taylor and Joe Bologna are funny, funny people (loved him in "Blame It On Rio") Lainie Kazan was perfect as his wife, and Paul Sorvino is just a GREAT actor. Didn't realize till later that this must also have been one of Angelina Jolie's first roles.As a participant/guest/victim of many Italian wedding extravaganzas, I loved it. A New Yawk version of "Blazing Saddles".Four out of five stars from me!

A sweet story of first love, emoting Romeo and Juliet in a modern American setting. The whole thing is played as a farce, as between the grownups who are trying to (over)protect their children. Angelina Jolie gives a totally charming performance, that resonates with one's romantic side (if one has that). If you like the actress, you have to have this movie. A fun movie without any message other than, that love is all there is. If it was available on DVD I would buy it in a minute!
