City Island never looked so good. The American family, on the other hand — pathetic. Everyone's got a secret. No, the Movie Slut, won't tell.
What makes this different from every other movie about dysfunctional families is great acting by Andy Garcia (the poor excuse for a father) and Julianna Marguilies (the tough Bronx mom) and especially Steven Strait (the hunky young stud who stirs everything up until it boils over.)
In case you're not a New Yawker, you should know City Island belongs to the Bronx, was a fishing village and still has seafood restaurants that draw crowds in the summer.
"City Island" has been compared to Moonstruck a movie starring Cher that's also about an Italian family with issues. See for yourself.
