Movie Reviews of Dinner Rush
Movie Review: A feast of a movie
Summary: 5 Stars
A sumptuous tasty dish of a small movie---good to look at, clever script, perfect casting. Aeillo is superb as a demurring wise guy, owner of a chic Manhattan nouveau cuisine Italian restaurant---at odds with his demanding chef (his eldest son) but protective of his gambling younger son. The movie consists of one busy night at the restaurant as two Brooklyn bookies attempt to muscle Aiello for a piece of the restaurant in return for his son's debt. John Corbett plays a delightfully unexpected role. Wonderful ensemble. Recommended for all foodies.
Summary of Dinner Rush
During the course of one frenzied evening, a restaurant owner and bookmaker deals with a potential hostile takeover, a snooty critic, and his attraction to his dead partner's widow. Danny Aiello and John Corbett bring the behind-the-scenes drama of a NYC Italian restaurant to life through an exciting tale of gangsters and gourmet food.Dinner Rush is gourmet cinema, served with a generous helping of culinary panache. After countless commercials, music videos (including Michael Jackson's "Beat It"), and a few obscure features, director and restaurateur Bob Giraldi casts his own New York eatery as a TriBeCa hot spot where the owner (Danny Aiello) presides over a busy night of fine dining and mob entanglements. He's been a bookmaker for 25 years but he's going legit; his son (Edoardo Ballerini) is a nuovo cuisine genius, eager to inherit the business; the sous-chef (Kirk Acevedo) is deeply in debt to mafia thugs; an art-dealer snob (Mark Margolis) is antagonizing his waitress (Summer Phoenix); a charming stranger (John Corbett) harbors a climactic surprise; and a powerful food critic (Sandra Bernhard) is ready to pounce on any wrong move. In perfect control of this bustling environment, Giraldi directs like a great chef cooks: with Altmanesque delicacy, confident that every ingredient is vital to the success of his creation. It's utterly delicious. --Jeff Shannon
