Obviously not many people watch this "City Island", otherwise there would be no Chinese subtitles, only English subtitles, but this film is really good, it feels a bit like "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Tron" A hybrid of The Baum Family, it belongs to the kind of comedy that is noisy but not chaotic. The first half of the film is basically the same as "Little Miss Sunshine". It is a family of various FREAK appearances. A key point of the whole film is that Vincent brought back from prison. The son, who hasn’t seen each other in 20 years, and the whole family eating together is the same as "Little Miss Sunshine", where everyone eats around a table to express the conflict between them, but the director's grasp of the lines and rhythm is obviously in place, There is nothing new in imitating the classics. The subsequent development of the plot obviously added a bit of dark humor. Several clues were intertwined very cleverly, and they finally converged. The whole family's conflict, secrets, and deceit broke out. The filming is especially good, in such a scene. Under the conditions of the cast and investment, the new director has done his best.

The film's protagonist prison guard Vincent is played by Andy. Played by Garcia, although the Cuban-born actor has never been very popular, he has starred in a lot of movies. The most impressive of them all were him and Meg. Ryan starred in "When a man falls in love with a woman", his performance in this film is also remarkable.

City Island quotes

  • Joyce Rizzo: [lighting cigarette] My husband thinks I quit.

    Tony: One good thing about the joint, they don't let you smoke anymore so... I quit inside.

    Joyce Rizzo: Being in prison and not being able to smoke? That's like being in jail. Join me.

    Tony: All right.

  • Tony: Can I ask you, like, why I'm chained to a Ford?

    Vince Rizzo: I'm gonna unchain you, Tony, but first I gotta tell you something. You see this house here? That's my home. My grandfather built this home and I share it with my family.

    Tony: Oh, you got them chained up in the house too?

    Vince Rizzo: You're gonna get real nice food and a real nice place to live for the first time in 3 years, so you better behave yourself.

    Tony: And all this because you knew my bitch mother?

    Vince Rizzo: Well, I gotta admit, you know, Nan could be difficult sometimes. But... she was also...

    Tony: A drunk and a whore.

    Vince Rizzo: Why do you call her that?

    Tony: She used to punish me for not boosting cases of vodka from the liquor store I worked at, by screwing my friends. Which base does 'drunk' and 'whore' not cover?

    Vince Rizzo: Don't you have any fond memories of her?

    Tony: Well, at least she was around. My father left before I was born.

    Vince Rizzo: [pauses] What do you know about him?

    Tony: He's dead.

    Vince Rizzo: That's too bad.

    Tony: Eh, the only thing that's too bad, is I didn't get a chance to visit his deathbed and dance in his ugly face for leaving me with that bitch.

    Vince Rizzo: Okay, let's go.
