    Fantastic movie! A comedy/drama yes, but with a powerful message I had the pleasure of watching this movie with 4 firends and everyone had a different, but positive takeawy. Everything from superb character development, incredible scenery, shared immigrant family experience, and the power of giving and receiving acceptance. Thank you so much for such a perfectly done powerful and inspiring movie.

    Finally a movie that resonates with my reality. Road to the Lemon Grove could have been my story. I'm not Italian, but the movie took me back to my childhood when I had to translate my teachers' words for my parents. Hildebrand and the cast captured the essence of being an immigrant, and the depth of a father/son relationship. I loved the humour and the exquisite cinematography took me into the heart of Sicily - a tribute beyond compare. This is the best movie I've seen in years.

    Incredibly thoughtful! As a second generation German immigrant, it spoke to me on many levels; culture, language and the importance of family. Bravo!

    Very nice film. Heart-warming and insightful. There are some problems with the pitch of the film, and the comedy is broad, but for an independent non -gov't funded film to get into the theatres says a ton. Well-done indeed.

    Bravo to the incredible people behind this movie. It was one of the finest films that I have seen in years. It's a superbly crafted movie with a truly dynamic cast. The director, Dale Hildebrand has delivered an outstanding picture that I'm sure everyone will love and look forward to watching over and over again. The visual elements were beautiful. The story leaves you wanting more! I'd rate this movie as 8 stars out of 5 if I could!

    Refreshing and heart felt - with great insight into families and the need to find a common language/experience. Finds its way past the initial brashness of some of the characters - and the challenges to relate across generations and cultures to what it really means to be a family. That coupled with the beautiful cinematography makes it a must see for all families in my view.

    After watching too any box office bombs this summer I was glad to end it with a 5 star movie. The story was cute and light hearted. The scenery made me wanting to book my next vacation to Italy!

    Went to see this movie, lastnight with my sicilian parents.. A beautiful Canadian film about an Italian immigrant. Something I’m sure many of us can relate to. Highly recommend it. ??
