Reviews for Big Night
A lyrical love poem to food and family (or is it family or food?), this serio comedy joins the company of other fun movies about eating, such as Babette's Feast and Like Water for Chocolate.
A wonderful film about how the simple pleasures of life -- food, family, friends -- aren't so simple.
