Movie Reviews of Mambo Italiano
Movie Review: As touching as it is funny..Paul Sorvino is a RIOT!"They give you a brainwash, no son of mine is a homosessuale!"
Summary: 5 Stars
There is never a dull moment in this Canadian film about an Italian family living in Montreal, Quebec. To comment on the performances...just a really great cast! Paul Sorvino is perfect as the role of Angelo's dad,his accent was flawless and his movements and gestures were so natural. My favourite line was the part when the whole family incidentally finds themselves in confession at their church, none of them knowing that the other family members are present...and one by one they reveal to each other who is in the booth. When Paul Sorvino hears a female voice, and asks "Who's that?" his wife says "Thats your daugher" he replies "Anna, have you seen my 'forza italia' hat? Your mother lost it on me again". HAHAHAHAHA!!! If you come from ANY mediteranian descent, you will particularily relate to this film.Parts of it were sad, mainly the part of when Nino leaves Angelo...and Angelos face at that moment was just heartbreaking.But his character is adorable, and after all the emotional pain he endures,manages to find a really nice guy in the end.I really love this film!
Summary of Mambo Italiano
Set in the Little Italy neighborhood of Montreal, Mambo Italiano is a fresh and enjoyable take on gay relationships. After reconnecting with an estranged childhood friend, Angelo (Luke Kirby) discovers that he and Nino (Peter Miller) have more in common than just their Italian heritage and suffocating families. After they move in together, Angelo finds that he can't stand being in the closet any longer--but Nino, who's a cop and much more attached to passing as straight, resists. After Angelo tells his parents (Ginette Reno and Paul Sorvino), their lives explode and Angelo discovers that coming out may cost him everything he held dear. The emphasis on ethnic humor threatens to turn Mambo Italiano into My Big Gay Italian Wedding, but the clever writing, sprightly performances, and inventive direction keep the movie consistently unpredictable and funny. Also featuring Claudia Ferri as Angelo's neurotic sister. --Bret FetzerIn the comic flavor of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Maria and Gino's Italian world is shattered when their son decides to get a place of his own. They are relieved when Angelo's childhood buddy Nino decides to move in with their son. However, their relief is short-lived when they find out that Nino and Angelo are more than just roommates—they're lovers! And then the fun really begins! Stars Paul Sorvino (Bulworth), Luke Kirby (Halloween: The Resurrection).
