  I went to see this film opening night and really enjoyed it. It tells a story of heritage for the people. It reminds me relationship I had with my dad and struggles and misfortune they experienced in a new country. Must see and well directed.

  I heard this movie is Romantic Comedy which isn't my favorite. It is not only Comedy, but also family relationship heart warming story. I am Asian, not Italian, but still I have same experiences in Canada and enjoyed this movie very much!!!

  My partner and I went to see this movie on the opening night and was pleasantly surprised to be able to watch a delightful story that speaks to culture and tradition reminding us what it means to be a community; something lost in today's Movies which are filled with jarring extreme special effects. The visuals were amazing, the acting funny authentic and the whole family can enjoy.

  This movie speaks to the Italian Canadian immigrant experience in a very comedic and also real way. The flashback scenes with young Calogero played by Tomaso Sanelli were mischievously funny and also brought back memories of helping my own parents as a child of immigrants struggling with both the language and navigating a new land!!

  This movie was visually captivating. It allowed the viewer into a part of the culture and history of Italy and its people. Our family enjoyed this endearing tale of family and it's many ways they connect, separate and resolve their issues.

  My son and I are from different cultural backgrounds and our relationship strained at times. Road to the Lemon Grove gave us a better understanding of our respective cultures (which, in many ways, were what we saw in the film) and it gave us a better understanding of our relationship.

  This movie goes to the heart? I'd say it hits a little lower. Of the 6 people in the theatre, I didn't hear any laughs, or even snorts, just a lot of heavy sighs. I get the intent, but all the wild, maniacal gesticulating doesn't help carry it. In the vein of "there's no such thing as bad publicity", I can safely say I will never forget it.

  We really enjoyed this movie and laughed all the way through. As a dad, it was fun to watch with my teenaged kids to show the importance of family bonds across the generations. Great family movie.

  This movie is absolutely wonderful. We laughed, we cried and we completely identified. This isn't a superhero, edgy, recycle material like every other movie out there. This is old school story telling that goes to the heart. I've seen several recycled negative reviews and you can tell they either haven't even seen it or they are just recycling another persons review who hasn't seen it. They say the same thing "too loud" (they certainly haven't been amongst my Italian family - LOL) or "Calogero/Lead played by Nick Mancuso". As I was searching reviews, the latter you will only see in negative reviews. Well if they'd actually watched the movie. or even made the slightest effort to even read imdb, they'd see Nick Mancuso does not play the role of Calogero. This movie (obviously not targeting the 10 year old superhero market) is fun, playful, purposely plays with stereo types (yet at the same time breaks those stereotypes wide open) and the target audience this movie was meant for - me, my friends, my family and everyone else I saw in the theatre had a wonderful time and we can't wait to see it again.
