My family is very Italian.... We laughed the ENTIRE way through because it hit a little to close to home!!!

OMG! I saw that last week with my non-Italian/Sicilian friend, and I prolly laughed harder than her. I understood everything that was goin on becuz Italian families are exactly the same!

Being Greek myself...and since I married a non-Greek..

well, let's just say, the movie was pretty on target!!!

My mom and I went to see it together this past week and it was hilarious! She's 100% Sicillian and she said it was her life growing up almost exactly. The windex cracked me up to no end! I would recommend going to see it if any GCers haven't!

My grandmother is Sicilian. My cousin and I went to see it and we almost cried. She is engaged and just saw her entire wedding on screen. Haha. I told her to elope.

Lord, my wedding is going to be a Japanese/Peurto Rican/ Sicilian wedding. I can see it now..everyone sitting on the floor around low tables, listening to a mariachi band, and eating 10, 000 pouds of lasagna that my aunts made because "why am I gonna spend 25 dollars a head..one bite it's gone..and Uncle Tony is allergic to capers!". Good lord! My poor husband!
