This brilliant comedy-drama is like a Martin Scorsese movie minus the violence. It centres on a squabbling Italian-American family from New York and in particular one of the sons who is cursed with good luck, which leads to all manner of comedy and tragedy. There is stellar acting performances all round, in particular Danny Aiello and Anthony LaPaglia as the father and son respectively. This is a proper unheralded gem, with great comedy, strong drama and excellent characters. Watch it!
