The Finellis Movie

The Finelli's Movie is everything I've always wanted to see in a comedy musical, but never have, until I saw this gem. I'm certain if this feature was played in a theater packed full of an unsuspecting American audience, I wouldn't be able to hear a damn thing, during the short-lived non-comedic riffs, because the chuckles and bursts of spontaneous laughter would drown out the sound coming from the screen., similar to my experience watching the Naked Gun and South Park: The Musical in the theaters back in the day.

While Mark's multi-talent is uncompromising and obvious from the first scene, I must give a tip of the hat to Timo's filthy mouth and Tony's enabler-in-chief, similar to Jeff Garlin's role to Larry David on "Curb," but much dirtier. And I love it. There's never been a stand-alone feature film like this, and there never will be again. With the exception of parts 2 and 3 in a trilogy of Finelli escapades I can only hope Mark creates for us all to enjoy. Please, America, catch up with The Finelli's. It's time we start appreciating something totally unique to a Western Europe audience. Just admit it. They're much more sophisticated than us knuckle-draggers anyway. The Finelli's Movie is proof of this. Grade A.

A lively mix, from a lot of comedy with always great depth and very touching scenes that make you think, great music and comic. The film is very entertaining, fast scene changes but still well told story. Great cast with an outstanding lead actor Mark Janicello, who not only plays the main role and also enlivens the film with his wonderful voice, but to whom we also owe the idea for the film and the script. The film makes you want more......es are still many questions open at the end, for example, what happens next with Tina and Toni, do they find each other or do they just become friends...questions about questions!!!!! We hope for answers in a sequel!!!!!

We were blown away by the Finellis because this is exactly the sort of comedy including very good music, unexpected twists, and a kind of humor which is rare in its inherent intelligence.

Reminded me in some scenes of "The nanny" which is one of our favorites.

A must see!

Wacky, wondrous family drama. A touching true ish story about a cross dressing Italian hoodlum from New York.

Refreshing to see the campy side of the Italian underworld. There's more to these people than Calzones and Lin.

Really fun movie with some great quotes and an engaging story line. I thought the acting was great with a varied and interesting cast of characters. Look forward to watching it again.
