Truth is stranger than family

DramaComedy

The Rizzos, a family who doesn't share their habits, aspirations, and careers with one another, find their delicate web of lies disturbed by the arrival of a young ex-con brought home by Vince, the patriarch of the family, who is a corrections officer in real life, and a hopeful actor in private.

VIBE

This film feels like a warm, slightly awkward hug from a dysfunctional family. It's full of relatable, everyday struggles masked by quirky humor and a gentle, observational style. Perfect for a cozy, low-key watch.
