Vincenzo has devoted most of his life to the family’s
successful pasta company founded by his grandfather. He plans to turn the business over to his sons, Antonio and
Tommaso. Antonio has been working
beside his father for years but Tommaso has been living in Rome. He is supposed to be attending business school but he has really been studying literature and he wants to be a writer. They have a new business partner and
plan to have a large family dinner to discuss business details.
In Italy family is everything and it’s expected you will work in the family business. The sons
don’t want this job but the daughter would love to work in the business. There are a lot of surprises before,
during and after the dinner. This
is supposed to be a comedy but it is not at all funny? A slow pace and it's difficult to care
about most of the characters. They think only about themselves and their sheltered
family life. 3* (This movie is OK)
