Review of City Island (2009) by Andrew K — 11 Mar 2011
What a great little movie! There are a lot of laughs, a lot of heart, and a satisfying ending. In fact, it was one of the most delirious, fantastically crazed endings ever. I loved it!
Andy Garcia plays a corrections officer who finds his son he abandoned in the new batch of inmates. Between this discovery and Garcia telling his family and his son what happened, there is a crap-load that happens. It just builds and builds with misunderstandings, lies, and assumptions. There is a strange subplot with Garcia's other son, who is not particularly funny and his attraction to BBW is an absolute throwaway. Otherwise, it was great.
