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

The Italians is such a great movie. Being Italian, it brought back all my memories to those Sunday marathon dinners at my Nonna's house. The laughs, the fights, the food, I could even smell the sauce. This film has laughter and emotion... the ending tugs on your heartstrings. This is a film your whole family will love.

Amateur acting, annoyed I paid for this. Very little funny moments. Just drags on. Blah movie.

I've watched this movie a few times and every time I like it more. It makes me smile, it makes me think and not think about my own problems. All we really want is an escape and this film does just that. Acting, check, directing, check and writing, check. Highly recommended.

The Italians is moving, funny, it's so good. Ive watched it many times with my relatives and friends, they enjoyed it as much as I do. It's a comedy with a touching family story how love transforms lives. Must watch for all!

It is great to see a movie that makes you laugh, cry and has you rethink as a mother how we react to our son and husband as in this movie. I feel we all have our moments and our traditions. This movie will entertainer you and the cast really adds to the honesty and believability of what the writer, director and producer wanted us to get from this film. Michelle Danner was fantastic in "The Italians".
