City Island
The Rizzo family may look like a typical family, except that they won't tell the truth to each other. The father Vince (Andy Garcia) an unhappy correctional guard can't admit that his poker night are in fact acting classes, his daughter Vivian (Dominick Garcia) works as a stripper when she lost her scholarship for college and her brother Vince Jr. (Ezra Miller) has a fat fetish which involve his 300 lbs neighbor who he's been watching on her 24hrs. webcam show. This dysfunctional family come to their breaking point when Vince brings home from work a formal prisoner Tony Nardella (Steven Strait) to live with the family, but at the same time trying to hide the biggest secret ever from his entire family and Tony. Secrets have a way of coming out, but in this crazy family, those secrets are busting out.
City Island is a funny, touching story about families and secrets, beautifully written and cast. This movie will make you feel fortunate for the family you have.
I give this movie 4 Stars.
