    AMORE

    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.

    Just what we needed

    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!

    A Heartfelt, Hilarious Tribute to Family and Culture

    The Italians, written by Lisa Visca, is a charming and witty film that celebrates the chaos, beauty, and unbreakable bonds of Italian-American family life. With sharp dialogue, dynamic characters, and a storyline that balances laugh-out-loud moments with genuine emotional depth, this movie feels both personal and universally relatable.

    Visca's writing shines through in every scene-rich with cultural nuance, fast-paced banter, and moments that pull at your heartstrings just when you least expect it. The characters are wonderfully flawed and fully realized, with each family member bringing a unique flavor to the table (pun intended). Whether you grew up in a big Italian family or not, you'll find pieces of your own relatives in these roles.

    Visually, the film is vibrant and full of life, with a warm tone that matches its subject matter perfectly. The direction leans into the comedic timing and emotional beats without ever feeling heavy-handed.

    If you love films like My Big Fat Greek Wedding or Moonstruck, The Italians will feel like coming home. A love letter to culture, tradition, and the messy but beautiful reality of family-this one's definitely worth the watch.

    Loved The Film

    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.

    Great Movie!

    I loved this movie so much . It was very funny and it reminded me of how my family is when i am at the dinner table . You will laugh and cry but it all comes together very well . The acting was incredible and so was the writing . I really enjoyed how the story unfolded and the little lessons about life that you learn as it goes on . I think now more than ever we need a movie that can bring a smile to our faces and make us laugh. Overall I really feel this is a hit movie that I could watch over and over again . This is a must see movie that the whole family can enjoy ! If I could give it 11 Stars I would !
