Just when I thought there was nothing that I could watch with my family made after 1990 this gem comes along.
No nudity, no sex, no "message", no politics, just a great story, well written, well paced and delivered by fine actors who it shines through loved making it. And you can tell and can feel that the laughter was created and not directed by an ensemble that bounced off each other naturally.
Since Vince Vaughn has started following his true north again he seems happier and he is a joy to watch. Who cares if any moment I expect him to say "who's the big winner Mikey?" It's him and he is marvelous.
If you haven't seen "Bad Monkey" then he is himself there too and he again brings joy, wit, pathos and perfect comedic timing. Thank you Vince because you are the big winner.

Nonna is more than just a film-it's an experience that wraps around you like a warm hug from your own grandmother. From the very first scene, it feels like home. The movie beautifully captures the essence of unconditional love, nostalgia, and cultural pride. It gently reconnects you with your inner child and stirs deep emotions tied to your roots and upbringing. Watching it brings not just tears, but good tears-the kind that cleanse and comfort you at once. So, keep a box of Kleenex close; you'll need it. The storytelling is light and airy, yet profound, with life lessons woven seamlessly into every moment. It's a gentle reminder of what really matters in life-family, heritage, and the simple joys of love and connection. Nonna isn't just a film you watch; it's one you feel. Everything about it feels right. It leaves your spirit lifted and your heart full.
No sex and no dirty language, and guess what, no movie ever needs that. These feel-good movies are what we need more of.
Who doesn't love their nonna? It's an underdog movie. It has some humor. But it was the end that brought a feel-good tear to my eye. You couldn't help but want the restaurant to succeed for no other reason than Joe and the nonnas.
Where most cultures have the den as the place to hang out with company, but in cultures like Italian, French, and Greek, it's the kitchen. Kitchens are happy places in those cultures. They truly cook not out of necessity but love and enjoyment.
This one's worth watching.

I just watched the movie "Nonna" and I am going to watch it again! This movie is funny, touching, heartwarming AND family friendly. Anyone who has been close to a grand parent will love this movie. While my grandmother wasn't Italian, she had many Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch recipes that were lost with her passing. I didn't have to pause the movie when my grandchildren walked in, but I did rewind because I didn't want to miss a minute of this movie. The actors were spot on and ajoy to watch. I love to see older Hollywood talent! This movie is a must see! This movie deserves some type of award. LOVED IT!
This is not your average generated content by netflix, this is a real film with emotions.
An Incredible cast doing their best in a beautiful film with inspiring true story ,heartwarming soundtrack ,it everything you want in a romantic comedy and more it's simply perfect for what it's. Yeah there are many similar films was made in the early 2000s but we don't get many movies like this anymore especially if it is done well.it needed more details but every character had enough background and more importantly charm to make you care and the cast is well put together I'm sure fans of the sopranos will be happy.

- TriviaAlthough the real Enoteca Maria is still in operation in its Staten Island, New York location, filming of the restaurant actually took place at Spirito's, the now-closed world famous restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. After having been open since 1932, Spiritos closed for good in 2020 and was neglected for many years. The film's art department redesigned and renovated the space inside and out before filming began.
- GoofsTalia Shire's character, a recent former Catholic nun, wouldn't be permitted to just leave a convent and then possibly return so casually as communicated in the story.
