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

Carolina A Beautiful movie. It presents a lot of sensitive and important topics without making them dramatic. Really liked it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review B F. Touching movie that has some parts that make you pick your phone up. Solid “at home nothing is calling my name” movie night movie though Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Ron L It's a good clean movie. Vince Vaughn did a good job, as well as the spring cast. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Wayne M Nonnas is a sweet and wholesome story about tradition, family and honour. It's very easy to watch, even if there is nothing remarkable about it. Based on the true story of Joe Scaravella, it follows Joe as he tries to honour his late mother. Joe grew up on Staten Island and has fond menories of his mother and nonna and the food they cooked. When his mother dies he decides to use her money to open up an Italian restaurant on Staten Island. He will employ 'nonnas' to cook the meals giving clients a very home cooked experience. The endeavour though is fraught with pitfalls and setbacks and it tests Joe's friendships. This wholesome film is an easy watch and is an ode to striving and caring. It's a solid cast with Vince Vaughn very good in the lead role as Joe. A warm and friendly film, that is easy to enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review William B. Good story. Wholesome. Worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Rosey R Wheres the story line? Missed opportunity. Forced acting. Just so-so. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
