Misunderstanding see the truth

It's another movie with a windfall. I thought it was a dull and didactic movie, but it's actually a very funny lighthearted comedy, which is really unexpected.
The jokes of this film are all at the end of the film. In fact, some misunderstandings are mainly mixed together, but these plots are very well integrated, and you can see the skill of the screenwriter. Such jokes are much smarter than those vulgar jokes and pranks that rely on the lower body to make people laugh, and they also look easier.
Andy Garcia's acting skills are not covered. The film also deliberately showed his sturdy acting skills through a plot, which is amazing! !
The performances of other actors are also very good. Andy Garcia's wife is really beautiful, but I don't know how old she is? She looks very young.
The film still mainly shows the American family view, which mainly embodies family affection. Through misunderstanding, family members get to know each other better and deepen their feelings for each other.
The fly in the ointment is that the criminal's son doesn't look like a criminal at all. She's too decent, right? How can someone like this get into prison? Is he not evil at all?

    Ok. How long have you kept secrets for your mistakes. How many deceptions have been derived for this deception. Ok. Let's look back. It seems that it is not too difficult to face.

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.
