Dinner Rush

Berättandet är ett slags Short cuts som utspelar sig i en och samma lokalitet; en mängd personers öden - restaurangfamiljen, servitriser, gäster - vävs under denna enda kväll in i varandra.

...a wholly satisfying feast.

There are enough plots here to challenge a Robert Altman, specialist in interlocking stories, but the director, Bob Giraldi, masters the complexities as if he knows the territory. He does.

...an Altmanesque ensemble piece that’s packed with strong performances. Aiello has never been better than as the genial patriarch, while The Brothers McMullen’s Mike McGlone is superb as one of the two mobsters.

The actors in the large ensemble create flavorful characterizations. Watching this enjoyable film is like sampling a table of tasty hors d'oeuvres.
