Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A funny, heartfelt look at families, relationships and the lies that prop them up as much as tear them down.
– Bill Goodykoontz,
Arizona Republic,

fresh:
The slice-of-life comedy City Island is a charming throwback filled with authentic characters.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

rotten:
Writer-director Raymond De Felitta has cut together a frustrating comedy, with the misunderstandings piling up like kindling for a bonfire that his movie never lights.

fresh:
This is the kind of movie that could easily sink into comedy hijinks as broad and flat as pappardelle. But it doesn't. De Felitta... makes no apologies for the outrageousness of the coincidences and gloriously knotty relationships and secrets.
