gbkmmaurstad This is a movie is about the Rizzo family who live on City Island which is an island connected to the Bronx, New York via a bridge. They live in a small community in which you are either a "Clam Digger" or "Mussel Sucker," those residents who were born on the island and those whose families going back three and four generations (true). The Rizzos are Clam Diggers and they all have a secret and think no in their family knows, well then again they don't until prison guard Vince Rizzo's (Andy Garcia) son, Tony (Steven Straigh) from a previous relationship is released from prison to his custody.Vince, his wife Joyce (Julianna Margulies), his youngest son Vinnie (Ezra Miller), and oldest son, Tony all eventually know everyone's secret, but how it unfolds is where the entertainment is - who's gonna find out, what, when? Good after work film, funny, entertaining and you won't have nightmares.

ghcheese If you enjoy a movie that builds it's characters as well as the story this is your movie. Secret, Secret, Everyone has a secret. The truth will set you free in this wonderful story of a seemingly dysfunctional family that conquers all. This movie truly understands a good story. I would love to tell you about the characters but I don't want to ruin the experience you will have by watching this movie.

Erik Stuborn Well, well, in this movie are so many coincidences meeting together to be credible, but apparently is one of those movies that Americans love (just look at that score on IMDb, which seems a bit undeserved).***BIG spoiler***A dysfunctional family —that really is not so— in the midst of a lot of happy coincidences that lead them to... well, to the usual place. Four members family, boy, girl, mom, dad; beautiful (and kind of exotic) urban landscape, nice house, everything seems to be wrong but —don't worry, because, as you expected...— it will be fixed, magically.***END of the BIG spoiler***Sometimes wants to be a comedy, but I do not laugh at all, sometimes intended to have the realistic touch of family drama, but fails.To spend an hour and a half lightly, after suspension of disbelief.

niceguy44 Everyone has their secrets, and as they are disclosed there is unexpected forgiveness. I enjoy movies and plays that open up lines of discussion afterward, and this movie allowed us so many avenues of thought, we talked longer than the 104 minutes of movie length. Everything worked. Every scene meant something. There were no villains. Everyone grew. The music was thoughtful and added to the moment, while giving an overall atmosphere. See it on DVD later to get the cast and directors' comments, that will give insight to the power that individuals made during production. I am a better person because I watched this movie, and to me that makes a movie special.
