A traditional Italian-American family meets their sons new girlfriend, who is NOT Italian.

Nell Minow

Movie Mom

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.

Rated: B-

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.

Rated: C

Breslin, as so often, is the standout.

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Finally, a movie that celebrates the beauty and dysfunction of family without sugarcoating it. The writing is sharp and the acting is top-notch. Loved it!

Such a sweet surprise! I expected a typical rom-com but got something deeper. This film has layers — comedy, grief, healing, and growth. And it’s beautiful to look at too.

This film reminded me of Sunday dinners at Nonna’s house — loud, messy, and full of love. The cast chemistry was spot-on, and the writing felt personal. A must-watch if you grew up in a big family.

Wildly relatable. If you’ve ever had a family dinner spiral out of control, this movie will hit close to home — in the best way possible. This film doesn’t just show you a family — it immerses you in one. The Italians is filled with vibrant characters and tender chaos.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I didn’t expect to cry. Twice. Then laugh. Then cry again. This movie sneaks up on you emotionally in the best way. Well done all around.
