Delco: The Movie

Delco: The Movie is not one to sleep on. Check it out if you're looking for lots of laughs.

Just outside of Philadelphia, PA sits Delaware County, aka Delco. Written and directed by a Delco native, this film is filled with Easter eggs for locals.

This heartwarming comedy directed by Chris Pierdomenico and featuring a mix of local and name talent.

Youse guys want some churry wodder ice down da shore? Or just spend a night with a clean-cut bunch of kids living it up in Delco.

Any fans of "The Wire" will need to keep an eye out for actor Brian Anthony Wilson as Reverend Charleston in this movie.

I saw the movie at the premiere and again at the latest showing and it is entertaining and nostalgic! I think even if you're not from Delco you can relate to the angst of that time of life growing up and feeling like there has to be more out in the world for you. A young man with a life path laid out for him by family finds solace and adventure with friends in his home town.

The acting was well done! It was a treat to see Dunkleman doing his thing as the not so supportive dad. As a comedic actor he plays a character many can remember from their own town when growing up.

The trio of Harding, Pfeiffer and Kuerzi were relatable as three teens looking for adventure in small town America! Oh how I remember doing some things I wouldn't usually attempt if it weren't for that one friend!

The backdrop of all the places I went to years ago and the places that hold special memories was an extra bonus!! Many of the laughs came from the nostalgia of things that happened at that time and the places that no longer exist.

It's a feel good movie with laughs and provoking memories we can all relate to no matter where you are from. Well done!

I literally burst out laughing several times throughout Delco the Movie and a few heartfelt scenes near the end had my eyes tearing up. Great ensemble cast with truly great writing and ensemble cast...I was fortunate to see the movie twice during opening weekend in Media and absolutely fell in love with the main cast Jess, Adam, Wayne, Bob Hess, the Paster, Reverand and Officer Winnie - truly excellent casting choices and performances all around. Plus as a music guy I'm sometimes critical of the soundtrack choices especially in an independent film but oh my goodness the songs chosen for different scenes were a perfect fit. Can't wait till Delco the Movie comes to streaming so we can see it again...

The movie is centered on coming of age in Delaware County, PA ,a suburb of Philadelphia and, honestly, one of the most unique and quirky places in the US.(Yes, the place whose dialect challenged Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown, the place that produced Tina Fey, birthplace of the hoagie AND the stromboli, and probably the least admired county in PA) It does drag a bit at times and it is apparent that it is a lower budget production from a new filmmaker making his first feature length movie, but the movie does deliver laughs and heart. If you are from Delco, you MUST see the movie. If you are NOT from Delco, give it a watch anyway... and pray for us!

Overall I enjoyed this film. It didn't need to be flashy, didn't need current events/songs shoved down its throat, it's just a movie with three teenagers in a county that people love to hate, but feels emptiness when they leave. The actors played their roles very well, and we also see the main three develop as they continue doing their nonsense. If you lived/currently live in Delco, you gotta see this at least once. For as quickly as this movie was made and with a very tight budget, it was very good and definitely had moments where I went "I know where that place is". It was meant to have people from multiple parts of the county to come together and enjoy this and it did just that and then some.
