Angie (Geena Davis), a spunky, hardworking Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, native, is about to make some life-altering decisions. When she discovers she's pregnant, Angie starts making wedding plans, only to realize the father of her child, and long-term fiancé, Vinnie (James Gandolfini of THE SOPRANOS), is not the man she wants to marry. Handsome and cultivated Noel (Stephen Rea) arrives on the scene, and the charming Irishman sweeps her off her feet, leading to a tumultuous affair, much to the displeasure of Angie's father, stepmother, and Bensonhurst friends. Having a child prompts Angie to analyze her own childhood as well as her relationship with her mother. This appealing tale of self-discovery is based on the novel ANGIE, I SAYS by Avra Wing. [Less]

Updated version of the simplistic working class sagas Hollywood used to make in the 1950s (Marty), except that the protag is an ethnic minority female, miscast by the glorious and beautiful Geena Davis; showing promise, Gandolfini may become a lead actor

Rambunctious drama about a pregnant unmarried woman's journey of self-discovery.

Davis elevates the material beyond the soap-opera conventions ... barely.
