Carlos Aguilar Variety Repeatedly drives home its point about the unifying force of a homecooked meal as an embodiment of community, and even as it overcrowds its narrative pot with too many unnecessary condiments that get lost in the mix, the result is ultimately palatable. May 12, 2025 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday You're not going to be planted at the edge of your seat here, but "Nonnas" has ample pleasures. Rated: 3/4 May 12, 2025 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News "Nonnas" follows a familiar underdog formula and checks off story beats you can set your watch by. Rated: C May 12, 2025 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Daily Telegraph (Australia) Vaughn is a solid anchor for a movie of this type, ramping back his performance so that co-stars such as Lorraine Bracco, Susan Sarandon and Talia Shire get their chance to shine. Rated: 3/5 Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal If there’s value in a film like this, it’s showing older actresses in a more realistic light. Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Sally Field and Lily Tomlin may work a lot. But the films they’re stuck in don’t begin to tap the talent they represent. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog This based-on-a-true-story is warm and fuzzy, even predictable, but surprisingly profound, with teachable moments baked into every key scene Rated: 4/5 Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Amassment of tired old Italian-American clichés and by-the-numbers family/food sentimentality that has stenciled FEEL GOOD, OR ELSE all over it. The least inspired script that you can possibly think of, insulting to the acting talents, Italian-American culture, and the audience. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Yash B "Nonnas" delivers a wholesome and life affirming true story that is just pure comfort cinema. This movie has lots of sweet moments, and I enjoyed watching it. It is light and clean, which makes it a refreshing watch. I felt Vince Vaughn channeled more of his dramatic chops here, but I felt he worked well for this story. The movie does have a patch where it dragged a bit for me, but I loved how it ended and thought the story was engaging and interesting. Overall, it is a sweet movie that has a great positive message that most people should resonate with. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Jennifer R Fell asleep. Very mediocre at best. Vaughn plays such a naive character it’s almost infuriating. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review J H I think this movie would have been better as 90% comedy, 10% drama. It has a great premise, but I feel it wasn't fully capitalized on. In my mind, this movie needed a more energetic pace and slightly louder characters, which would have made it a really fun, heartwarming watch. But instead we meander through the movie and it drags it down. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Chris R What a tedious and boring film! To quote from it: “nothing happened”. Or at least, at excruciatingly slow pace. As others have said, what a waste of my time. I am not one for fast-paced action movies, but at least make a film where something progresses. I presume that the audience who review this film are self-selecting, in that they are from the same demographic and rate it for family memories rather than the film per se. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful heartwarming film that brings home the message of family and tradition. Beautifully done.
