As someone who is full-blooded Italian and has lost her oldest sister and her father, I can complete relate to this movie. When I saw it in 2000, my father was still alive, but he has since passed on, and this now seems even more true to life now that I am dealing with that loss, as well. If you are a family full of Italian women with very different personalities coming under one umbrella, you will really appreciate the context of this movie. It's a good movie for grieving people also. Sadly, it isn't pop your eyes out disgusting or full of unrelated sex scenes; just a basic plot of people trying to survive one of life's most unpleasant experiences. I think this movie is just excellent and well-done. I loved every single character in the family, as well as the supporting roles.
