Learn more- The couple. The church. The family. The tradition--stay married no matter what. To recapture its original atmosphere, this Cinderella story was filmed on-location in Chicagos Little Italy neighborhood and based on true-life events of award-winning commercial director Joe Scudiero and co-creator, Sari Sagan. I Do is a romantic-comedy that begins with Nick (Matt Orlando) down on his knees proposing to his beautiful girlfriend, Angela (Sari Sagan).
Angela sees marriage as a way of escaping from her intensely Italian-American, card playing mother and two dependent adult brothers. In the film, her life time-jumps from Nicks living room proposal to their picture-perfect wedding then on to Angelas fresh beginnings. But in contrast to her fairy tale expectations, she discovers things have not changed much. The new scene is in her kitchen, cooking and cleaning house where she quickly finds herself doing the same domestic chores she did for her family. But now her dilemma is compounded by a lying husband with a weakness for gambling.
Nick, a warm-hearted underachiever, is enthralled with Angelas luckless brother, Bobby (Jim Carrane), who regularly coerces him out to all-night gambling and drinking debauchery. Nicks absence reinforces Angelas well-developed martyr complex and she is temporarily content to endure quiet suffering at home alone with a nightly-ritual of replaying scenes from her wedding video, gorging on chocolates and drowning in loneliness. Her only respite from this self-defeating routine is an occasional ride in the car with her arachnophobic girlfriend, Therese, and hen parties at the local beauty shop. But all that is about to change.
Nick loses their Cadillac in a dice game and in a moment that is both funny and poignant, he is reduced to riding home with Bobby peddling from the back seat of a run-down tandem bicycle. Later, in an attempt to win enough money to get the car back, Bobby concocts a ludicrous scheme. Through a series of ridiculous lies (going out to save a friend, who died years ago, from a burning car) and other comic blunders, Angela discovers Nick and Bobby have once again slipped away to the back ally garage for a night of gambling.
Angela is at a breaking-point, and it is here that she turns to the church and prayer to correct the course of her marriage. She is Italian-American, Catholic, married and true to the tradition of the church and family, which means she will not divorce.
In Angelas emotional excursion she divulges the private pain behind the public humor and dedicates herself to making Nick a willingly part of a happy and functional couple. Angela is ready to meet her destiny head on.
