Big Night (Hoopla, Paramount+) is an award-winning 1996 comedy-drama film starring Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub as two Italian immigrant brothers trying to make it in the restaurant business on the Jersey Shore in the 1950s. The supporting cast includes Minnie Driver, Ian Holm, Isabella Rossellini, and Allison Janney. It is well reviewed. For example Roger Ebert called it "one of the great food movies, and yet it is so much more". I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The casting is priceless.

I like Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub. I bet they are a good combo working together. Have a great Saturday Nita.
ReplyDeleteThis cast was delightful!
Delete...now everyone seems to be a foodie!
ReplyDeleteSo many food films these days. I wonder how long ago the first one was.
DeleteSounds fun. Hopefully, this will come to the other streaming services
ReplyDeleteHoopla might work for you if there's a library has it that's close enough to make an annual trip in to subscribe...
DeleteI think I saw this long ago on Netflix. Not there anymore. Not on my Paramount+, either. I might have watched it again just because of Tony Shalhoub. They were so young in this! :)
ReplyDeleteHoopla seems like the only option now :(
