Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

gcd70 This story about real people falls right into the category of "Moonstruck" and "Once Around". Todd Graff's story and subsequent screenplay deals with the ups and downs of a Jewish family in late 60's Queens, New York City, and the budding romance between a widow and an Italian stranger.Beeban Kidron's movie is full of fabulous characters played wonderfully by Shirley Maclaine, Marcello Mastroianni, Jessica Tandy, Kathy Bates and the ever enjoyable Marcia Gay Harden. Look also for veteran actress Sylvia Sidney who puts in a fine turn. A very satisfying movie to make you laugh and cry.Wednesday, July 21, 1993 - Waverley Pinewood Cinema

yahna This story is one of family love and tolerance. It reaches into touching depths that goodness and unconditional love are far more important than self and ego. This love story is very refreshing as it is based on mutual appreciation and admiration. Joe is looking for for a lady that is dedicated and Pearl needs his sincere caring. The movie projects characters that can be liked regardless of their faults. Very well cast as each actor seems to bring their characters alive as if they are a real people one might know and want to know. It is a movie that gives a new message each time it is viewed. Watch this movie and enjoy the tenderness.

Blooeyz2001 Someone I was dating brought this video over because it has all the elements of movies I usually enjoy: ethnicity, a 1960's New York setting, family, romance, etc. Well, I didn't like it & I almost fell asleep a few times during it & I wasn't even tired! There was not one character I liked or cared about in this film. It's filled with pretentious cartoon characters. Shirley MacLaine is totally unbelievable as a Jewish woman & her family's dysfunctional overload did not entertain, but drained & annoyed me. What bothered me most about this movie was that it depicted the Italian family totally one way, & the Jewish family totally another, as if all Italian people are like this, & all Jewish people are like that, & no family or person can possess individual traits that aren't a stereotype. The character who dresses up like different famous people was an idiotic, useless, & distracting idea. This was one long, boring snooze-fest.

lobo-21 but don't expect much else of interest. It's proof of his screen magic that one feels transported by this moment. Mastroianni seems to be freed to improvise in a lovely kitchen scene. It is always a treat to see him in a scene with children.
