B-
The movie shifts in subject and tone to focus on marital issues between Angelina and Vincenzo and then shifts abruptly into sentimental drama. Somehow by that point we still feel connected to the family and the conclusion is genuinely touching. Go to Full Review

What ends up being the most interesting part of the film is the casting of Estes. This is not a typical role for the actor and he brings some life to the film. It just isn’t enough. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Breslin, as so often, is the standout. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Typical Italian tropes (food, loudness) are mitigated by deft comic performances, especially from veteran Lanie Kazan and the grown-up Abigail Breslin. The heart of the story is a reminder that there is an expiration date on family and what they give us. Go to Full Review

Glenda L @RT40096198 4d Terrible overacting by the mother, could have been funny with another actor. See more Anna S @RT97847452 Jun 5 Highly recommend watching with friends and family! It was as equally touching, as it was funny. The characters are colorful and entertaining, but remain authentic. If you’re looking for a lighthearted comedy, which we all need these days, this is it :) See more Joyce H @Tuffetmarie Apr 15 The Italians is a beautiful family movie that wil tug at your heartstrings one moment, make you laugh hysterically the next, and ultimately, make you want to reach out to all your loved ones to tell them how much they mean to you. It's the kind of movie that you keep pondering about for the next couple of weeks as the characters are so richly developed, they feel like family. A must see! I suggest watching it with your family, it will bring you closer! See more Andrew S @Andrewfev Feb 27 The acting is stiff and cartoonishly exaggerated performances feel forced rather than lived-in. Dialogue is relentlessly cheesy, stuffed with predictable stereotypes, groan-worthy one-liners, and family banter that’s more awkward than funny. Italian words and phrases are mangled in cringey, over-the-top Americanized pronunciations that pull you right out of the scene. On top of that, the melodrama is painfully boring. Every "emotional" moment drags with predictable and forced sentimentality that never earns its weight. What could’ve been warm family moments just feels tedious and manipulative. A clear vanity project from the director and main star is a very annoying unrealistic and unlikeable. See more ARNEZ C. @Arny6tearz Jan 28 This is full of heart love and soul the conflict & drama is so well done I really loved this one mamma Mia it was good! See more Andrea F @AndreaFrancolini Jan 24 Nice start but then crumbled under poor jokes and weak story… what about having actual Italians playing Italians by the way? Hahahaha See more Read all reviews
