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.

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.

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

Nonnas” was not groundbreaking or edgy, but it was pleasant and heartfelt. If you let yourself be comforted and relax into this movie, there’s a good chance that at the end you will feel some emotion akin to “I needed that.”

Representational of what is essentially a labor of love, the film that depicts the story of Nonas isn’t made with the same love and care as the real deal. It’s more like Olive Garden, for people who like Olive Garden.

If you’re looking for a story that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, Nonnas is your ticket. Just don’t watch it hungry.

So Nonnas totally surprised me. The plot sounds sweet and lovable, and it really is—like a warm little hug of a movie. Vince Vaughn is his usual fun, easy-watching self, but honestly, everyone around him steals their scenes in the best way. I wasn’t planning on watching this at all, but I needed something cute and comforting, and that’s exactly what I got. Yeah, it’s cheesy and super cliché, but I enjoyed every single minute. And finding out it’s apparently a biopic somehow makes it even cuter. Not perfect, but definitely worth a cozy night watch.

This is a classic feel good movie. I seen my grandmother through looking at the characters. The time spent in the kitchen, wearing aprons, and bringing the family together. This is a five star, plus. Great comedy, great story.

Nonnas is wonderful, this movie is so heart warming and makes me further think of and appreciate my own amazing grandma, nothing like a sweet feel good movie with a realistic yet powerful message of pursuing what you love with who you love, no matter the venture!

The concept of this movie is excellent and the fact that it is based on a true story, raised my expectations. but about 10 minutes into the film I started to realize that it was nothing more than a vehicle for Italian stereotypes. So utterly predictable and trite, I truly feel sorry for the famous actors like Brenda Vaccaro, Talia Shire and Lorraine Bracco, who were evidently roped into this production, thinking it would have more than a millimeter of depth.
