Watched May 10, 2025.
This is based on a true story, so I can't fault the movie for putting 80 year old women to work in a NYC restaurant kitchen, but the movie does not explain how many hours they worked or who else worked with them. The romantic subplot must be fictional, because no first-year law student skips studying to spend hours each night at a restaurant (but who doesn't love Linda Cardellini?). The subplot that explains the initial number of customers is nothing short of nasty and pointless. And "gravy", what's with that? If gravy is poured over spaghetti, what do Staten Island paisans pour over mashed potatoes? Ultimately this is a feel-good thing, but the world never needs a movie this mediocre. Only the big-name actors could rescue this.
