Big Night

Charming, funny, poignant and mouth-watering, this is most wisely seen well fed beforehand or you'll be drooling.

By the end of the movie, we have been through an emotional and a sensual wringer, in a film of great wisdom and delight.

...a charming, slightly quaint tale about brotherly angst and top-notch grub.

The cast is wonderful, as is the direction by Scott and Tucci. The bond between brothers is developed in a believable way, with the usual mix of friction and wordless affection.

Isabella Rossellini is a vision in a series of satin cocktail dresses, and the creations that pour forth from Primo's kitchen should boost business at local Italian eateries wherever the movie is shown.
