jolsen5~ While the film did not win any Academy Awards, it was still a terrific effort that was the culmination of years of hard work and passion. The film WAS enjoyed by the majority of the people who saw it; AND the film did garner a few awards that don't mean anything; but are still a reflection that people liked and appreciated all the work involved in putting a film together (from screenplay, raising the money, to the last day of shooting and everything else involved). FYI, Burt Young has worked non-stop since "Rocky." Most notably in the award winning "Transamerica." There were also a tremendous amount of talented actors (Porn stars? Not in our film but that may be a subject that really interests you) that we were fortunate to have that gave some great performances. Not everyone is going to like your work, that's a part of life and I can take critiques and criticism very well, but your review reeks of to much nastiness and bias. AND... who the hell writes a review of a film they see on public access, considering the only ones who may read it are the producer, director and actors in the film? Who are you, really? You also have not written a SINGLE review for anything else. Sounds sketchy to me. I got your number.

Peace, Henry David Thoreau

Rick Cugini, successful filmmaker, returns to Brooklyn to find he has a son he never knew about in this hilarious, poignant comedy with romance!

This is going to be a true movie classic. Newcomer John Gigante is fantastic as is the great Burt Young {Paulie of ROCKY fame}. Marrielle Monte plays the lead female role & is also amazing. Look for great comedy and pathos throughout!!!

nauseating

Today I viewed this film on Public access television. The kindest thing I can say is that I watched the entire film. I can only imagine that this is the reason that video games, reality shows and sports are so popular. Every thing about this film was horrible. The ham-handed use of Italian slang, the wooden acting, the script writing was terrible, the pacing was horrible, the plot was vague, what a waste. I can see why Burt Young hasn't worked in anything of note since Rocky, he's the Italian equivalent of Fred Sanford. It surprised me the director managed to pack so many mistakes on a two hour roller coaster ride with all lows and no highs. The film is a symphony of mistakes. Although the porn star wannabe females featured in this film did provide some relief, it really wasn't enough. Please don't waste your time seeing this. Thank you.
