Made in Italy

Occasionally funny movie about a damaged father-son relationship. It's very predictable though, even for me who is not normally good at predicting endings.

I think this film is a great portrayal of a fractured father and son relationship, that heals when they finally confront their pains. I find it emotionally engaging.

A former tragedy that divides a father and son.Time passes and they find each other. Questions and memories reopen as their former home in Tuscany finds new life.

I have only seen Neeson in action films so I was curious to see how he would fare in a comedy drama. It was nice to see him stretch a little bit in this film and having his son along his side was interesting to watch. Generally, I am not a fan of comedies, but I did enjoyed some of the very few lines and goofs that made me chuckled loudly. It's the onscreen relationship between father and son that I enjoyed the most. A decent 6 stars.

As someone who loves Italy, Italian culture, speaks the language and always watches movies like this, I kind of expected more from it. It was indeed aesthetically pleasing, but the action was missing. I felt like the actors could've done it a bit better and the story could've had more added to it. But the shots of beautiful Tuscany and the house were more than enough for me. The relationship between father and son was not as much developed as I thought it would be, but it did make me cry in the end, with a nice conclusion. All in all, heartwarming and pleasant comedy/drama that you will enjoy, especially if you're dreaming of visiting or living in Tuscany!
