English film City Island Synopsis :
Meet the Rizzos, a family that might get along a lot better if only they could tell each other the truth. Dad Vince is the worst offender. But since the prison guard won't even admit that poker night is in fact acting class, how's he ever going to explain about his illegitimate son? His daughter works as a stripper when she's supposed to be in college, while young Vinnie Jr has a secret sexual fetish that involves a 24-hour webcam and the family's 300-pound neighbour.
Vince's wife Joyce is the family's rock, but it's been a year since she enjoyed intimacy with her husband, and it's no surprise she thinks poker night spells A-F-F-A-I-R. When former prisoner Tony enters the Rizzos' lives, Joyce begins to suspect that the handsome young Tony isn't who Vince says he is. City Island is a funny, touching and smart family tale about the secrets of the past catching up with the lies of the present, and accepting that nobody's perfect - least of all your loved ones.
City Island Hollywood movie Review :
Honestly, I'm not a huge Andy Garcia fan. Some of his personal right wing political statements have turned me off and I usually find Andy Garcia (as an actor) playing Andy Garcia.
But in City Island, wow. I guess this is what you would call a command performance. He's extremely believable and lovable as a sort of dim-witted (in a Rocky Balboa sort of way) prison guard who secretly takes acting classes and develops a friendship with a young woman while also adopting a convicted felon who just so happens to be his secret long lost son, while trying to keep all of these life's complications from his tough Bronx wife. The sub-plots involving his daughter being a stripper and his son having a fetish for overweight women are admittedly a little bizarre, but Andy Garcia's performance as the gentle soul just trying to do right in the world keeps this WoodyAllenesque soap opera entertaining as all hell.
I think this is the only Andy Garcia movie that I ever really liked, and I have to admit it even brought a tear to my eye. I don't know if City Island will ever get the credit it deserves, but in my opinion Andy Garcia's performance in City Island is the stuff that Oscars are made of.
Just saw this movie, and I think it's very good. It's started in the middle of some middle-class family, where nothing ever happened. Father has no education, wife is a office worker, and two boring children. But few minutes later I just can't stop. Father somehow became actor, his wife try to cheat on him with his unknown son, and children is no better than parents.
Characters are true, and I almost knew some of them in real life. They fun or sad, good or bad, they motivation is understandable and I wanted them to be happy. And they learned self and each other and them gave ,e good receipt to make my life happier - talk to each another. After checking out Raymond’s blog I dropped him a line telling him about our site and he invited us down for a set visit. So last Friday my photographer John and I drove to City Island to check out the film’s set. We met up with Raymond’s assistant, Amy Basil, who gave us a tour of 90 Horton St in City Island, The Rizzo Family’s home in the movie. Amy explained the house, which sits on the Eastchester Bay, was chosen for its breathtaking view of the Manhattan skyline. She also pointed out the changes that had been made to the home for the movie. A shed and deck were added to the backyard, inside, new wallpaper, family photos, and curtains were hung while new furniture was moved in to make this house the Rizzo’s home. The owner was compensated for its use and everything will be put back exactly the way it was before he returns (except for the deck, that may be an added perk).
