Movie Reviews of Mambo Italiano
Movie Review: The Prisoner of Little Italy
Summary: 2 Stars
"Mambo Italiano" has some cogent things to say about Gay relationships, and closeted Gay men and their families but it is difficult to ferret them out what with all the gobble d gook, whatsa mattah widchu and mamma mia dialogue and action on the screen.As an obvious play for the same audience that went to see "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," "Mambo Italiano" fails in comparison because it lacks the sparkle, the pacing and the resolve of its own convictions. "MBFGW" is not the finest movie ever made but it is well made, well scripted and for the most part, well acted. Unfortunately, "Mambo Italiano" is none of these things.
But there are two scenes in which all the wedding cake frosting and Italian Neighborhood Restaurant decor is cut away and Angelo (Luke Kirby), gay and out, cries out in pain and anguish over a life spent hiding who he is. "Before my parents die, I wanted them to know who I really am,' he says. Gay or not, how many kids need to have this conversation with their parents right now?
