Review of City Island (2009) by Dale M — 30 May 2010
City Island is a surprisingly funny and charming dramedy from filmmaker Raymond De Felitta. Not having seen any of De Felitta's earlier films, based on the trailer, I expected City Island to be average at best, chocked full of quirky characters and good ideas, but suffering from mediocre execution.
However, I was happily proven wrong as the strength of the performances, particularly from Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies, and a great climactic scene at the end where the shit really hits the fan.
The film is enjoyable throughout.
