for all the well-aimed blows it lands about how families make us crazy, it still has a very warm, very soft spot for these lunatics.
04/06/05
Hilarious and filled with wonderful characters and situations.

Top CriticZesty indie comedy from Rhode Island is a winner, with ethnic humor easily mixing with universal truths about dealing with families.

Top Critic[A] witless farce.
11/11/05
