      His Italian wedding

      In 2002, there was a film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding") with a small cost and a big return.
       
      In other words, Angelo wants to be independent under the protection of his parents. He doesn't want to be like the uncle in the neighbor's house, who is still in his 50s sitting with his parents and being beaten in the head by his mother. The parents were surprised when they heard his decision, but they knew they couldn't change it and they had to let him go. In his...

      Just like watching this kind of boring comedy.

      Looking at it, I didn't feel sad or laughed. I thought it was just this way.
          One more is greasy, and one less is firewood.


          Watched many similar movies.
          There are many sad ones, such as the love of Siam, such as my own Idaho, such as my military lover.
          There are also many happy people, such as Seventeen-year-old Sky, another gay movie.
          But to be honest, a movie with a quiet narrative like this is really a bright spot for me.
          It...

      A rare light-hearted gay comedy

      The reason for watching this movie is that I was unconsciously excited before the National Day, so I didn’t want to sleep and I had nothing else to do. I didn't have much hope for this film at the beginning, but I didn't expect him to attract me from the beginning: humorous lines, interesting Italian family, exaggerated performances, handsome actors. After watching this movie in one breath, I began to consciously despise those gay movies that are bitter or sensational. Comrades, gay, means...

      Abandoned, twice

      This is a very interesting comedy movie, adapted from the real experience of Steve Galluccio.

      It tells the story of an Italian family living in an Italian community in Montreal. The background feels a bit like Touch of Pink. They are Canadian comedies with exotic cultures.

      When I watched this movie, I laughed and cried, I was angry and moved. It can be said to be a very good movie. The story is relatively fast-paced, the slightly exaggerated performance shows the humor of...

      The introduction is not very consistent with the movie

      The plot is that Angela hasn't come out yet and the money is not a TV screenwriter. It lies in the fact that his lover Nino comes out to his family after living together. However, Nino is a bisexual. In the end he not only got married but also had children. Nausea. Only at the end, Angela became a famous TV screenwriter (using what happened in his family as a writing substrate) and found his home. Personally, I feel that the plot is very poor and the ending is abrupt, as if it was just for the...

    Evaluation action

    "Mambo Italiano" was shot in bright primary colors, giving the audience a warm but tacky feeling. The film has a smooth rhythm   , and the clever loan out of the cabinet shows a cross-cultural dilemma   and reveals the friction between immigrants and the society in which they live   . Although the portrayal of Italian immigrants in the film has a certain stereotype, considering the label of the comedy, it is not difficult to understand...
