Review of City Island

City Island (2009)
7/10
Above average comedy-drama
31 January 2011
I always prefer more realistic, real life situation comedies, like City Island, than exaggerated comedies like Hangover or Tropical Storm. This movie has a perfect balance of comedy and drama, and it will bring you the full scale of emotions.

Andy Garcia is great in this movie, it has a very interesting plot also, and the climax is just brilliant. The story follows alienated suburb family with a lot of secrets, which results in comic situations, especially when father, who works like a prison guard discovers that one of the prisoners is his long forgotten son.

Give it a chance, and you won't regret it.
