Meet the Rizzos, a family that might get along a lot better if only they could tell each other the truth. Dad Vince is the worst offender. But since the prison guard won't even admit that poker night is in fact acting class, how's he ever going to explain about his illegitimate son?
His daughter works as a stripper when she's supposed to be in college, while young Vinnie Jr. has a secret sexual fetish that involves a 24-hour webcam and the family's 300-pound neighbour. Vince's wife Joyce is the family's rock, but it's been a year since she enjoyed intimacy with her husband, and it's no surprise she thinks poker night spells A-F-F-A-I-R.
When former prisoner Tony enters the Rizzos' lives, Joyce begins to suspect that the handsome young Tony isn't who Vince says he is.
A very good film about family, regret and dreams...loved the performances by the entire cast, especially andy garcia...a true hidden gem of a movie.
Surprisingly sweet, funny and highly entertaining. One of the better familiy dramedies I've seen in a long time. Garcia is brilliant in this flick. Good performances by supporting cast as well.
Cute and loveable movie - - Andy Garcia is simply great in this role as an aspiring actor/parole officer trying to keep his family together. Lots of laughs.
