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.

A classic 2000s era high school movie feel, made in 2024. Was worried religion-related plot would be too much to follow but it was an enjoyable framework for someone trying to figure out who he is with his "devilish" & "angelic" friends on each shoulder. And as an Italian who was raised Evangelical in a mostly Catholic environment, I've never felt more seen. Didn't know there were others like us out there haha. I enjoyed all the shots of Delco. The real businesses being involved gave it a nice local feel. Lots of laughs & lots of heart. Hoping this gets a wider release! Had some great original music too ("Delco Girl"!

I had high hopes for this film, and they were met and succeeded in many places. This is a wonderful freshman romp from director Chris Pierdomenico. A funny, heartfelt love letter to my adoptive hometown.

The film stands its ground in beliefs and morals, and shows how the unexpected support from good friends can make you a wonderful version of yourself. Aside from making those statements, the film is beautifully shot and the cinematography holds up as well.

Overall, if you're looking for a warm, fun, good, clean (and whatever other adjectives you'd like to supplant) coming of age tale, you've found it.

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!

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!
