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.

Featuring everything from handmade pasta to beautifully rolled cannolis and even the unique delicacy of capuzzelle, I could practically smell the kitchen through the screen, and it certainly kept me hooked on hanging out with the movie's charming cast.

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.

Script was very, let's say, basic. But enjoyable nonetheless.

It was good until it force-fed the same asinine Netflix DEI checklist slop. Frustrating. Can’t enjoy any movies as a family that’ve been released recently anymore. Stop with the social engineering, y’all.

Absolutely loved it! A fun movie about starting a restaurant and creating a family with it. It just took my mind off the craziness going on now, and I enjoyed learning about the real restaurant in Staten Island. What a beautiful idea to have nonnas from around the world doing what they do best… creating family from scratch! The acting… fantastico!

Hallmark quality movie. Full disclosure: I turned the movie off after 30 minutes. It wasn’t worth finishing. The general idea was nice and wholesome, but the writing was just awful. It felt like a high schooler sat down in an afternoon and wrote the whole thing. No clever dialogue. Nothing creative. No humor. Just a completely basic story plodding through the plot. Acting was pretty trash too outside of Vince and Susan.

Bored on an afternoon alone in the house, a friend recommended this light-hearted, lovely little movie. It ended with me feeling very warm and cozy inside. A must see if you want a real feel-good movie.
