WASTE OF A GOOD DOCUMENTARY SUBJECT And a waste of my time. This film is so terrible that I don't even know where to start. First of all, the aesthetics, the look in general has a very flat, AI quality to it. Vince Vaughn looks like his head has been photoshopped onto someone else's body. The quality of his acting leads me to surmise that perhaps he is really dead and has been regenerated by AI to star in a movie full of terrible stereotypes and saccharine humor. Maybe they blew most of the budget on Susan Sarandon and Vince and didn't have enough to hire an Italian translator but if I was Italian, I would be pissed at the inaccuracies and the offensive caricatures. If you are from NYC or have seen any footages of the restaurant and its owner, there is so much there for a solid documentary. Instead, we got some sort of disney-fied, bland excuse of film.

A long episode of Black Mirror. I was so looking forward to seeing this film but it is only a meandering derivative of other movies. Disappointing and a waste of time.
