Movie Reviews of Mambo Italiano
Movie Review: this movie's genius!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's about an italian couple who travels from Italy to Canada. Their son Angelo then shocks them by moving out of the house and into an apartment, with his childhood buddy Nino. Angelo shocks them even furter when he tells them that he's gay. Although Nino is gay also, he does not want to come out of the closet...This is a very funny movie, and i can relate cuz i'm italian, and some scenes in here my family would do. Angelo's mom reminds me of my grandmother, and most of the gestures she does in the movie i can see my grandmother doing.
Movie Review: Excellent, Endearing, and Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be one of the better 'gay themed' movies around, if not one of the best, - this one is endearing, very funny, and also sad and quite moving in places. The plot has already been described above by Amazon, and while some other reviewers say the 'performances are over the top' - I think the entire cast is excellent and manages to portray the Italian community to a t. Mambo Italiano is a movie to watch over and over again and one that I will treasure in my collection.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: Very Entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
A movie about two Italian families with (gasp) gay sons, which as I understand it from the movie is not a good thing if you're Italian. But as the movie goes on Maria and Gino begin to accept Angelo as being gay and are actually quite proud of him. I quite enjoyed this CANADIAN made movie, in which most of the stars are Canadian. I would recommend this movie for anyone who needs to laugh, and as you can see from other peoples reviews you don't have to be Canadian or Italian to enjoy it.Movie Review: Bothered by Stereotypes????
Summary: 5 Stars
To the reviewer who wrote:The thing that bothered me was that the movie tried hard to be Italian! Over-the-top performances by the parents were at times embarrassing to even watch on the screen.
You obviously have not been raised in a Sicilian Family. Believe, me. That was my family and every Sicilian family in our small Pennsylvania town that was 80% Sicilian. Everything was catastropic....but, God, was there Love and Food. "Eat, you will feel better!"
Movie Review: amoung my favorite gay films
Summary: 5 Stars
If you haven't seen this film yet then you must buy it to see it for the first time. If you've already seen it then you need to buy it so you will always have it on hand when you need a real pick me up. Mambo Italiano is on of the best and most endearing gay films I have ever seen. I highly recommended movie. I don't know anyone who didn't fully enjoy the characters, the story and the humor of this wonderful coming of age and coming out story.
