Everybody Wants To Be Italian

It may be true. I was recently on vacation in Florida with my mother and aunts and about midway through the week a friend of my aunts who was nearby decided to spend the entire day with my crazy family. At the end of the night as we convinced her that she couldn't drive home after that last glass of wine, she happily said that if she were reincarnated she hoped to come back Italian. When I came home and I was retelling the story of this woman's adventure to my Irish-German boyfriend, he suggested we start charging people to hang out with my family. It may be narcissistic, but I was so excited when I saw that a movie exploring this very theme opened in select theatres on September 5.

With culture rich Boston as a the setting, "Everybody Wants To Be Italian" follows the romantic life of Jake Bianski, the young owner of a fish market and his co-workers/relationship advisers. We quickly find out that Jake has a problem. He is desperately in love with his high school sweetheart that is now married with children. Determined to get his mind off of his ex his buddies set him up with a gorgeous Italian woman. Since Jake is not Italian, they have him pretend he is, so that he can win her affections. And the romantic comedy unfolds.

I should say that this summary is what I can gather from overviews of the film and from viewing the trailer. Unfortunately the movie has not opened in my town so I will have to wait to give you my personal review. If you have seen the movie please let me know how it is! I posted the trailer below.
