The characters are equally vibrant-fun, energetic, and full of personality. It's an enjoyable, thoughtful movie that balances laughs with heart. A perfect and much-needed film for the times! Bravo!

The Italians is an absolute delight. It's an honest story about life and relationships. The message is one of love, family and forgiveness. It's filled with gut wrenching emotions and joyful moments. Screen Writer, Lisa Visca delivers. Each line is right on the mark. The actors fit their roles perfectly. You can feel the camaraderie among the cast. It comes shining right through the screen. This movie will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will touch your heart and make you want to be a better person. It will make you want to watch it again and again and again. It is a work of art and a feel good movie that promotes positivity. Watch it! You won't be sorry. However, watch out, it might make you hungry for Italian food! Ciao.

Grew up Italian and the over-bearing mother is def a relatable character. Entertaining and enjoyable movie with a great ensemble cast. Pastor Joe is funny as the "family" priest, Abagail Breslin does a good job at being the odd person out dealing with their potential/future mother-in-law. The family dinner scenes make you want to grab some Italian for dinner tonight and the grandmother has some great comic relief moments. Give it a watch on Prime and enjoy a movie with a different story-line than what you usually see being put out there these days. Makes you appreciate family and realizing how fast someone can be there and gone the next day.

Without a doubt, his performance was a highlight of the film, contributing significantly to its overall impact and memorability. His ability to seamlessly transition between comedic and dramatic moments was incredibly impressive, bringing to life a character that truly resonated.

Timing is everything and this feel good, humorous and relatable drama about an awkward, crazy "meet the parents" clash is just what we needed.

How boring life would be if we were all alike. Our differences compliment each other and this film captures the essence of love through compromise and humor.

A great collaboration of screenwriting, casting, directing and acting to help us laugh at ourselves and shed a tear when most of us have become emotionally jaded with violent movies.

We enjoyed watching the story unfold and actually have an ending as most movies today leave you hanging without a conclusion and we are left imagining our own ending to the story.

Thank you!! This film is just what we needed!
