Title: Just plain fun
Review: If you haven't seen much of Andy Garcia's work (which I hadn't) "City Island" is a film for you. He is terrific as Vince Rizzo (a corrections officer, not a prison guard...please!) whose secret passion for acting coupled with a chance meeting with an inmate brings a cast of characters together that weren't necessarily out of central casting. The Rizzo family fights, makes up, fights again and all of this is made possible by Garcia and a first-rate supporting cast. The fact that Vince's teenage son has a passion for ultra fat New York women adds to the dysfunctional wonderment of the Rizzo family."City Island" was recommended to me by a friend and it turned out even more loveable than I had anticipated. I highly recommend this film for its true emotional delivery and terrific performances by its cast members.
