SnoopyStyle The Sposato sisters are returning to the family home to attend Danni's (Amanda Detmer) wedding. The oldest Nikki (Brooke Langton) is in a sexy TV show as eye candy. Chrissy (Vanessa Parise) is a high power investment banker on Wall Street. The youngest Toni (Monet Mazur) is still trying to shock bringing her lesbian lover Amy (Alyssa Milano).It's a lot of sisterly function and dysfunction. This is low budget indie with its heart in the right place. Everybody has a problem, and everybody has to work through it. The missing element is the comedy. There may be a few cute moments, but there isn't a real funny joke in this. I don't know if writer/director/actor Vanessa Parise has it in her, but this script is in need of a funny writer. The jokes would counter balance the more serious stuff. It would make the movie more poignant.

marebp this is the perfect "sit on the couch on a Sunday" movie. the characters, although stereotypical, are each rather endearing. the extended family is fun to watch,as it offers some insight into the traditional Italian family. the sisters deal with the same issues that many modern day siblings tackle, i.e. the pressure to leave home and find success rather than attempt to remain in their small town and find it where their roots are. unfortunately, the movie is predictable, as my girlfriends and i had the majority of the ending pegged in the first half hour. it does it's job as a light and airy way to spend two hours. enjoy.

TxMike My wife brought this DVD home, unable to find anything better. It is a movie mainly for the women, from their point of view, written and directed by Vanessa Parise who also plays one of the sisters, Chrissy. The story is based loosely on her own Rhode Island Italian family. I found it an interesting viewing, although there is nothing really new here.Amanda Detmer plays 'Danni' Sposato, and as the movie opens we see her dressed in a wedding gown, on a balcony near the sea, looking for the groom. We suspect she may have been "left at the altar", but don't find out right away as the entire movie is one 85-minute flashback to the previous couple of days, as Danni's sisters come home to help her celebrate. Sure, it was a movie gimmick, but it worked OK.SPOILERS. At the end we see that Danni's whole family, along with the groom and the priest, have gathered on the sand to be a part of her wedding. This came after her rehearsal party from hell the night before where everyone was so concerned about their own situations that they were not celebrating Danni's big moment and she told them all to leave. Sean Patrick Flanery, who had been so good as "Powder", and also as Young Indy in the early 1990s, played Tom Terranova, old boyfriend of one of the sisters, Niki, the smart one who went off to Hollywood and now was in a Baywatch type of TV series. (Writer Parise was a smart one, set to go to Harvard Medical School, when she turned to acting.) Talia Shire, of Rocky fame, plays the mother. I like Amanda Detmer, she is cute as a button and a good actress to boot!

meselfless I was out today with an old friend of mine and she really wanted to watch a movie, I wasn't particularly interested in seeing anything so I let her decide, she came out of the video store with a movie that had Alyssa Milano in it, so I knew it would be bad. I was wrong, the movie wasn't just bad, it was terrible, we even broke into her dad's place to watch it on his TV, I crawled through a window for this? I feel like I have wasted a large chunk of my life, and I want it back. I will never have this hour and a half back again so spare yourselves the same suffering I have encountered would you?I can't even be bothered to tell you what was terrible about it in detail because the whole movie was a disaster. There was one good thing about this movie though, the girl who plays the youngest sister is really hot.0.5/10
