I need to see the beginning of this, because I've seen the last half at least 3 times. I assure you Luke Kirby is even more adorable without that curly hair (see: Slings & Arrows Season 1). I like the realistic ending.

MCT:October 2, 2007I love it.. I am a German Italian Hungarian.. who grew up with the Italian side of the family.. (it's odd being the blonde haired blue eyed Deutsche maedchen in a family of dark haired dark skinned people.. ) Luckily my parents where the children of immigrants, so the pull isn't QUITE as strong.. but, I remember the family get togethers every week.. I still deal with the guilt from my grandmother.. (and I live in another state!) I also remember coming out in this family.. and it was.. .hmm.. interesting is too light a word. This one was fun.. I think this one is going to be one that I buy as soon as I can get the money.. It reminds me of the past, while completly making me laugh at some of the absurdities..

Frankly I was disappointed. Played for the crowd uneasy with homosexuality (I hate that when producers second guess their audience)...however a safe date movie if you are not sure of movie tastes, and a fine performance by Ginette Reno who never ceases to amaze with her acting talents.

I saw the live play of this before the film version came out just put in alot more in the film version than what I saw in the play but still very similar on most of it (and happens to be set where I live in Montreal Quebec).
-
MCT:April 11, 2007Very disappointing. This film clearly tried to ride the coat tails of My Big Fat Greek Wedding only with 100% more homosexuality.
-
MCT:March 12, 2007Ridiculously exaggerated, but it totally works for the story. Those crazy Italians, you gotta love 'em (in small doses, lol).
-
MCT:February 18, 2007lol its so true ALL of it lol my grandparent are italian and they act like them!! lol well not all the time

This movie mirrors my life (sans the gay theme) so closely it scares me. My parents and my entire family immigrated to Canada in the 60's and they all act like the characters in the film. Anyone of Italian descent will really enjoy it (lots of jokes the mangi cakes won't get)

Wonderful movie!! It was so charming and had great sense of humour. It also touched based on issues that gay people still have to face everyday.

In some ways, this family reminded me of my family. One of the characters states that her Italian family is one that runs on "serene chaos." I understand exactly what she means. I loved the guy in the movie (who comes out to his family, against the wishes of his boyfriend). This is just a fun and energetic movie, with lots of laughs and some tears!

Such a funny movie, and it's so great because you never hear about homosexual italians, not that there is anything wrong with them at all. It is just an overall interesting movie.

A great little comedy in the tradition of Moonstruck. Yes it is layden with stereotypes of all kinds, but shamelessly unappolagetic about it. Watched it with my whole family who all enjoyed it enough to recomend it to their friends.
-
MCT:September 12, 2006Another gay film where the guy who is open about his sexuality gets shafted by the hot guy when he comes out. Typical of gay stories...amazingly no one dies of aids in this one. Whatever.
-
MCT:August 26, 2006some of the most annoying stereotypes of europeans, and homosexuals, chucked into one film.
do urself a favour and don't waste your time with this! -
MCT:August 6, 2006
Amusing. Yes. Very. I laughed a lot. It's totally raunchy. I love raunchy movies. It actually deals with gay relationships in a really good way, and pulls off all the comedy.
