Movie | City Island | Pass

A super cast includes Andy Garcia, Julianna Margulies and Alan Arkin. Set on a tiny island just off the coast of NY(?...I forget, was it the Bronx?). This yet another story of a lovable, completely dysfunctional family that's trying to figure out how to get along, all the while compounding their problems with horrific communication skills. It all feels rather familiar.

Therein lies the problem with this movie...and the result is that it's pretty much forgettable. You'll probably enjoy the experience of watching it, but you won't remember it this time next year.

The picture says it all - they don't look thrilled, do they? Still, I think this movie resonates with some people. Just not us. Bummer.

One thumb up and a Pass.
