Why so much hype?

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I needed to buy another DVD to get a discount, and this one sounded interesting and was inexpensive It was not the light, fluffy comedy that I expected. It has substance, charm, some fine performances, some laughter, and some tears. Scott Baio, Kristin Minter, and Rosemary Prinz were excellent. I don't remember seeing Kristin Minter before, but now I want to see more of her.A Wedding for Bella, as its original name The Bread, My Sweet suggests, is a sweet movie; not hardcore. I like good hardcore, but I also like good sweet. For a low-budget, independent feature, it is well worth watching.

This is a nice movie, it is surprisingly good. I feel Scott Baio gave a great performance that demonstrates that he should be doing bigger and better things. Kristin Minter is beautiful and it makes you wonder, where did she come from? Where have I seen her before? Where can I see her again? Rosemary Prinz is great playing the matriarch of the film. Her skills from daytime television make her performance seem almost effortless, yet touching. She is able to pull you into her performance and character with the look of her eyes. I feel that the film had a great supporting cast and great pacing of the film. Watch It!!! You will enjoy it.

i was willing to bet money scott baio would've directed this himself, so much it seemed like an actor's 'personal project'. it's written so lousy it's unbelievable, the acting is poor, the characters even more stupendous. kristin minter, john seitz and shuler hensley all fail badly and scott baio is so self-involved it's sickening. rosemary prinz is pretty good, and about the only good thing in this pic. the aim of the movie is to shamelessly milk tears from the gullible audience. thankfully people are not as stupid as the creators of this film obviously thought...not everyone falls for it, and they shouldn't either, it's so obvious. movie making like this is just despicable. me no like.

This movie was not that good. The high user rating and the comments make you think that this movie would be extremely good and it didn't even rate in the average category. After reading through the comments I am guessing that many reviewers knew the people who made this movie and wanted to give it a favorable review. Although I enjoyed Scott Baio and Kristin Minter's characters, everything else in the movie made this a movie I wish I hadn't taken the time to watch. The parents definitely overacted just about every one of their lines and the retarded brother's performance bordered on the insulting many times. Scott Baio's character's work life was not realistic (when exactly was he working so hard at his other job that he warranted a promotion to Senior VP). The thing is, I enjoy movies with concepts similar to this one - unrealistic, but nevertheless romantic and predictable story lines- the problem is that this movie was just poorly executed. It was suggested that you have to enjoy or appreciate ethnic movies to enjoy this one, well I love movies involving ethnicity but showing Italian culture in the form of extremely bad accents, overacted but nonetheless authentic family interactions, and good food doesn't save this movie.Save your time and your money and pass on this movie, you'll only be disappointed.
