Absolutely Cr*p

I'm sorry but this film is very poor (much like overcooked pasta). Don't waste your time watching this junk. The 9.99 I wasted on this could have bought my family an all-you-can-eat meal at Pizza Hut. So disappointed.

You are the film viewer equivalent of Pizza Hut.

Pizza hut is better.

Kalidor- Care to expand on your critique without the fast food comparison?

Your taste in film mirrors your taste in food.

Kalidor,
Funniest post in years. Summarized the story line/conflict/dilema in just a couple short sentances.

Now, the only question: Was that your intention?

Very very true...

I finally got to see this, after seeing Anthony Bourdain rave about to Tony Shalhoub in one of his shows piqued my interest. It was by no means the best film I've ever seen, but if you would prefer to waste 9.99 at Pizza Hut, that is of course entirely your perogative.

However, I would rather take the 9.99, go the store, buy some fresh ingredients and make my family something far more filling, enticing and delicious and more importanly, made with love. But hey, at least everyone has the choice!

I'm still laughing at Stanley Tucci with HAIR though!!

The word is prerogative. The film is delicious. The OP is, to quote Tony Shaloub, a Philistine. If you are a foodie, you will like this movie. If you care about human relationships, you will like this movie. If you like movies, you will like this movie. If you gravitate toward Pizza Hut or Little Caesar's, it's probably not for you. Great fun.

You are the philistine smoking in the restaurant, and "Big Night" is the delicious risotto receiving your uncomprehending stare.

Veramente!

Clearly, some posters can't tell the difference between Penne Carciofi Arrabbiato and that flourescent orange stuff that glops out of the Chef Boyardi cans. If your only standard is that YOU don't get it, referring to the ketchup on cardboard Pizza Hut pretty much undercuts your argument. OK, so you don't get it. In fact, thank you for not getting it; makes the rest of us feel much better that we do.

kalidor-2: You're a mindless nitwit. An intellectual zero. Go watch a cartoon or The Three Stooges. It's clearly more your speed.

Hey, take it easy on the Three Stooges. Their clean and sometimes subtle humor is much better than most of what writers turn out today for laugh track ridden sit-coms.
