The Italians

If you liked My Big Fat Wedding, you will love this film. Just to clarify, the family in this film is Italian and not Greek.

I loved the casting, especially Lilly the girlfriend. That young actress is going places.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started to watch The Italians but with this sharp script, I laughed out loud so many times during the film and I loved it.

The editing was really clever, and skipping around the timeline was fun. I loved the confession scenes. So funny.

I gave it a 10 out of 10, which I normally don't do. It was a fun movie to watch and seeing how the characters' arcs were unexpected.

Give it a try, I think you'll love it too.

The Italians is a heartfelt and thoroughly enjoyable film. It offers an authentic portrayal of life, love, and the complexities of relationships. At its core, it's a story about family, forgiveness, and the emotional ties that bind us.

The film masterfully balances raw, gut-wrenching moments with genuine joy, making for an emotionally rich experience. Every line feels purposeful and genuine, and the cast is exceptionally well-chosen-each actor brings a natural chemistry that radiates from the screen.

The Italians will have you laughing one moment and wiping away tears the next. It touches the heart, uplifts the spirit, and reminds us of the value of compassion. A true feel-good gem, it's both a beautiful work of art and a celebration of the human spirit.

The Italians, written by Lisa Phillips Visca, is chock-full of humor, warmth, and flair! With sharp, witty dialogue and well-drawn characters, the film depicts the everyday humor, love, and occasional tension that come with close-knit families. Visca's skillful writing brings authenticity and warmth to the story, offering relatable moments and subtle life lessons along the way. The cinematography is beautiful, capturing mouthwatering Italian dishes, bustling family dinners and sunny West Los Angeles. 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!

I really enjoyed it and so did my girlfriend who went with me, we are both African American and I feel that this movie welcomes everyone, it is well directed the cinematography is highly professional from start to finish it keeps you engaged with a great story line All of the main characters did an excellent job in playing their roles, my favorite was the grandma she really played an excellent part her role really in my opinion was very well acted and played and very funny with a natural flow I really don't want to give too much of the movie away by telling too much of the story line but I think the average movie goer would definitely enjoy it two thumbs up for me!

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.
