Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Mambo Italiano is no sophisticated dance, but it moves about with an open heart. And hey, it's at least as funny as that Greek thing.
– Janice Page,

rotten:
Mambo Italiano is likely to provoke the same urges in the movie house that poor Nino experiences after a dinner at the noisy Barberini compound -- an overwhelming desire to flee.
– Steven Rea,

rotten:
Lacks that outrageous effrontery that might have socked it to its intended audience.
– Desson Thomson,

rotten:
It's like watching a spaghetti-sauce commercial stretched out to feature-film length.
– Randy Cordova,

rotten:
There are laughs in the movie, and a lot of good feeling, but it seems more interested in its Italian stereotypes than its gay insights, and it must be said there is absolutely no feeling that Angelo and Nino are really lovers.
