Everybody Wants to Be Italian

I actually enjoyed this comedy, funny characters and an interesting (but not very credible) story. Not sure why people didn't like it, maybe Italians felt offended?!

This movie was very funny. I took it as a satire- making fun of how many people there are out there that can't get over their ex- put them on a pedestal just b/c they screwed up a relationship & feel guilty, like their life would have been just perfect if they could have her back. When in reality, there was probably a reason why you screwed up- a Freudian slip, acting out on what your subconscious knew all along. So, if anyone didn't think past the obvious- that the fish monger isn't really chasing after his ex on a daily basis, then you can see that he represents a ton of men that hang on to the past to an idea of what he imagines would have been a perfect relationship, instead of loving the one you're with. The vet sticks around b/c she figures that he'll realize one day that its just an idea, not his ex, that he loves. That once he realizes that, he'll hang onto her with the tenacity that he demonstrates he has with love. Everyone really does want to claim to be Italian- so much so, that they don't want to point out when someone accidentally confuses them with someone who is. It's flattering- "Wow, you think I'm Italian?" You think I'm good looking, hotblooded, loyal, well connected to my family.......

this movie made me hate italians, and im part italian

Boring!!!!!!!!!!

okay so this is like my big fat greek wedding in a way. one night i was sitting at home bored, and saw this for rent on my tv. so i watched the preview, liked it and rented it. and DAMN is that man sexy and ripped! hes like Michaelangelos David! the movie was very cute and the girl was very beautiful. perfect couple. i really enjoyed this movie. i'd buy it.

After the first 20 minutes you've already seen the rest of the movie. Totally predictable and disappointing story-- hint, there is no plot. Character arcs are nonexistant. Prepare to want your money back.

My wife and I thought it was hilarious!

in fact my grandfather married an Italian, and acts more Italian that she does. and this movie does have a lot of the stereotypes Italians face, and I've heard a lot of the stereotypes without the aid of this movie. the guy is a jerk, but it's fitting that he picks a porn-star-like girl as his "soulmate"

I managed to make it through nearly an hour of this movie before I finally turned it off. The characters make decisions that don't make any sense, they're boring, and so stupid it's painful. I would spend 10 minutes thinking the plot couldn't possibly get more banal or ridiculous and then the next scene would prove me wrong. An extremely attractive, 20's something guy stalks his ex-girlfriend from 8 years ago every day even though she's now married with 3 children? The ex-girlfriend and husband don't get a restraining order? The new "girlfriend" decides to continue being friends with him anyway, even though she can't stand him, just because he's cute?! Stupid! A 10 year old could have done better at writing and directing this movie. Save your money and especially your brain cells.

Painful.
