Tu peux embrasser le marié

I saw this confection on a flight home to London. I'm a huge fan of Salvatore Esposito from his gripping, gritty role as mob boss Genny on "Gomorrah". Genius move to cast him as a cute gay guy marrying his equally adorable boyfriend and soulmate. The film was a delight: from the 2 adorable leads seeking their family's approval to the gentle, wise, accepting small-town priest, with a nod to Pope Francis's modern approach to gays, the quirky flatmates (including a hilarious cross-dressing bus-driver) and the well-meaning but pompous father of the groom whose classy, determined wife forces him to live up to the high ideals he pushes on the town as their high-minded mayor. I don't know the original Broadway stage play that inspired this movie, but I love how the director changed made the story politically and socially relevant. A must-see but not because it's worthy. So many laugh out loud moments. The father complaining about musicals being silly: A little gem!

A delicate theme treated with irony and humor, revealing the deep gap existing between one' s moral or ideals and the awareness of reality, often hard to accept.

Empty, shallow, cringy, stupid movie. Italian cinema is really dead. Avoid at all costs.

This movie is a comedy that also tries to be serious. I found myself laughing hysterically, often. The acting is very good, the setting is beautiful, and the ending is so ridiculous it's absolutely hysterical! It's worth reading subtitles to see this movie.

I think people have grown away from appreciating a film for just what it is, as opposed to what they want it be. This film is funny and fun. Somewhat predictable by the title itself. But in the Italian way it is fun. I enjoyed it !
