City Island

Ok, now. This is the kind of comedy I like.

The Rizzo family live on City Island in the middle of the Bronx. They are your typical family, in which everyone has their little secrets and lies about them.

Vince, the father who works as a prison guard, claims to be going to poker nights when he is really taking acting classes. His wife Joyce obviously suspects him to have an affair. One day he brings home young Tony, who he took out of jail because he is his son but he never told anybody of his existence.

Vince and Joyce have two children. The daughter Vivian (played by Andy Garcia's real daughter) is expected home from college for spring break. What she failed to mention to her parents is that she was suspended and lost her scholarship and now works as a stripper (boob job and all) to earn money so that she can go back to school the next year. Vince jr. is in high school and obsessed with obese women.

The situations get more strained and at the same time more ridiculous until the end when all their secrets finally come out.

Made me laugh throughout.

9/10
