Feast of the Seven Fishes

Feast of the Seven Fishes is a wonderful film with big laughs and big heart about a big family. This film brings out the togetherness of family that is essential at the holiday season, even while every one of the family members is uniquely individual. In spite of all their differences, they manage to pull together a fantastic family tradition of the Christmas Eve feast, while navigating the various small-town dramas going on around them. The film is charming. Be certain that you're not hungry when you start watching, though, or you'll be famished by the end of it. The food (as well as the setting and the characters) is very detailed and believable, and by the end of it you'll be hungry for a side of fish with your holiday cheer.

This movie absolutely nails it! Felt like I was back in 1983 eating dinner in the old neighborhood. So detailed. A new holiday classic!

This movie is exactly the type of movie I like. It made me laugh, cry, hungry and nostalgic. Timing the movie for Christmas. Toss in a love story, a warm Italian family, traditions, and friends with multiple sides of garlic and wine then set it in 1983 and I'm in heaven. My Sister my Mom, nieces and nephews all loved this movie. We're buying the DVD when it comes out to make this one of our annual holiday movies.

Wow! Had no expectations and this movie was just about everything I wanted in an Italian holiday romcom. Nothing too corny or fancy, just exactly what it was growing up Italian in a very small town. Simplistic yet entertaining from start to finish!

Well, I'm glad I gave this one a chance!! Not your average, stereotypical festive film. Sopranos meets Brooklyn. Great script, characters that you root for, superb 80s detail, classic romance, big family fun!

Left me wishing I'd got to experience an Italian Xmas! Very, very good! Don't watch with the young ones...
