This movie seems like it was made with a home video camera, so the visual quality is terrible. The music is terrible as well. The idea is good. But it could've been a better comedy. If they would've made it into a 10 minute short film it would have worked out very nice. But stretching it just made it boring. Ana Ofelia Murguía's work is excellent 'cause she seems very natural. I liked how they dealt with one of the girls being a lesbian 'cause they didn't make it too obvious or forced. I didn't like the costumes. I don't know how they made everyone to at least try to speak in Italian but that was wonderful. The ending is very touching.

A charming light comedy
basic12327 July 2012
This is a delightful, unpretentious story that owes something to the old theatrical tradition of telling a story in which one of the characters - in this case the 'Nonna' of the title - is kept in ignorance of a crucial fact, but the rest of the cast and the audience know exactly what is going on - a type of drama that for many years was a staple in the theatres of London's West End. Its comicality hangs on the contortions the 'in-the-know' characters go through in their kindly efforts to keep up the pretense. The atmosphere of the film - particularly that of the indoor scenes - is rather intimate. Quite the feel-good movie. Recommended for a pleasant afternoon.
