Made in Italy

Made in Italy (Netflix) is a 2020 comedy-drama film starring Liam Neeson as an artist who must restore an Italian villa with his estranged son. This is not my kind of movie at all, and I have no idea why I watched it. I loved it. I firmly believe that "I don't like [fill in the blank] movies" is a lazy attitude that deprives us of many a pleasure. I try to broaden my horizons. I'm glad I watched this.

  1. ...you have no idea why you watched it? You seem to want to watch everything!

    1. Not everything, since there are way too many for that. I pass on more than I watch.

  2. I really enjoyed this, too! And it was fascinating to me that his real life son played his movie son--lol! It was such a joy to see Liam Neeson in a different type of role. I will watch anything he is in, but I like when he switches it up. :)

    1. Yes, I hadn't realized his son was an actor.

  4. I watched this. I liked it. It was a little bit predictable though. Hope it was a great Saturday.

  5. While it might be more my kind of movie than yours, I sort of watched this by accident. Liam Neeson and Italy -- what's not to love? I thought it might be too fluffy but I found it heartwarming and a wonderful parent/child dynamic that I would recommend to others as well.
