Uncle Nino presents
a small, but thoughtful story with a decidedly European flavor that heals as
well as entertains. The acting ranges from average to good but seems, due to
the combined presence of Pierrino Mascarino and Joe Mantegna, quite satisfying.
The movie works at a slower continental pace while examining two cultures far
removed from each other.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes.
It’s worth at least one viewing for its kind reminder of best ways to establish
life value, where that value rests, responsibility to family, how far that
extends, where love lives and how to stay within love’s embrace.
