- 75San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleMight be said to have pleasant echoes of "Garden State" and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" -- except that they aren't echoes; this 1999 indie film was made long before those other two hits, and frankly, is just about as good.
- 60The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderThe New York TimesLawrence Van GelderLovingly shot on location in the Italian neighborhoods of Providence, this comfortably predictable film has its pleasures, most notably a dryly funny Adrienne Barbeau as the brothers' hip, hard-drinking Aunt Lidia.
- 50L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonL.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonThe best news here is Adrienne Barbeau, the 1970s TV star and B-movie queen (Swamp Thing), who invests the role of Anthony's aunt with a worldly-wise sensuality that suggests a long-lost cousin of Tony Soprano.
- 40Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustLos Angeles TimesKevin CrustThe film aims for a light social satire but mainly falls flat. It feels more like a long-lost pilot for some never-aired 1970s sitcom or a misguided sequel to a Billy Joel song.
