In the Bronx during the late 1980s, marriage-minded Donna (Annabella Sciorra) is engaged to the immature, commitment-phobic Michael (Ron Eldard). When the elaborate wedding plans go into motion, however, Donna begins to have second thoughts, and Michael has the same old commitment issues. The two must work through some nagging doubts; namely, if they are right for one another. With both pairs of feet growing cold, Donna and Michael still have friends and family who expect to see a wedding.

3/4
This is a subtle movie that invites us to read between the lines. It suggests that a lot of couples may be married to marriage rather than to each other. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 11/12/2022
Nancy Savoca is never condescending with her characters. She treats them with affection, and that's why you laugh with them, not at them. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Peter Bowen OutWeek 05/20/2020
True Love renders this Iocal community at once strangely familiar and and culturally foreign. Under the scrutiny of such an ethnographic gaze, perhaps it is not so bad remaining invisible. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 01/04/2007

Nancy Savoca's first (and still best) film shows a good, sensitive ear to the lingo and subculture of this ethnic milieu, of both genders. Competing at Sudance Fest in 1989, it won the jury award for best drama. Go to Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily 09/27/2005

Annabella Sciorra and Ron Eldard play Donna and Michael Both of them live in the Bronx during the 1980s and have just gotten engaged Everyone is excited for the big wedding but they have to overcome a lot of challenges not just the ceremony arrangements but also emotional ones Michael is a commitment-phobe and is still a bit immature Donna may begin to have second thoughts Falling in love is easy but also hard, it’s about adjustment, trust, communication, growing up It’s a story for all of us that takes a lot of work to stay alive There’s a lot of character moments which does work to help see these two and their flaws Although 10 min could’ve been shaved off near the end Even two people have to look at the bigger picture before taking the plunge for the rest of their lives See more Gina B 06/07/2024 Such a great movie!!!
