Critics Consensus

Like a homey dish prepared for family, Nonnas just wants to provide heaping helpings of comfort — and does so with enough charm that audiences may want seconds.

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.

You're not going to be planted at the edge of your seat here, but "Nonnas" has ample pleasures.

Rated: 3/4

"Nonnas" follows a familiar underdog formula and checks off story beats you can set your watch by.

Feel-good films are few and far-between these days, so discovering this nostalgic, compassionate dramaedy was an unexpected delight.

Rated: 7/10

What ultimately makes Nonnas worthwhile is its emotional authenticity. It tugs on just enough heartstrings, offers just enough food porn to make you crave pasta and delivers a generous helping of maternal nostalgia.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. Every single line was cliche and every scene was over curated and predictable. Too many montages. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Unfortunately, the best part of this movie was Vince Vaughn’s hairline.

Im Italian-American and lived most of my adult life in Italy. I loved this movie because it reminded me so much of my childhood family dinners. Nothing can compare with the home cured sausages and hams that hung in my Nono's garage[no car, of course]Maria was the most fantastic cook and I have yet to taste Italian American food here in the US as good as those home cooked dinners

At every step of the movie one could predict the next. Typical Hollywood movie full of cliches and predictable scenes. Did not like it.

It's rare to find a true story that's family friendly, uplifting and worth a watch these days. Nonnas tells the story of an Italian restaurant that made grandmothers the chefs.
