The 2025 low-key comedy Nonnas<\/strong><\/em> is a love letter. One about familial memories, food and that special connection between youth and their grandparents. All, pretty much, based around family meals and the kitchen. <\/p>\n Based on the true story of Joe Scaravella and his small group of Nonnas who brought a dream to life. A place where customers could savour food like \u201cNonna\u201d used to make. <\/p>\n Vince <\/a>Vaughn<\/a> and Netflix give us a film that will leave you with a lump in the throat.

The man struggles until his best mate Bruno suggests that he take the insurance money and invest it. Joe likes this idea and the seed of Enoteca Maria Restaurant is sown. <\/p>\n We follow Joe as he finds and hires Nonnas to cook the meals that he remembers from his childhood. Despite a number of setbacks, Joe succeeds in his endeavor. He also succeeds in love and friendship. <\/p>\n Vince Vaughn<\/a> is Joe Scaravella. <\/p>\n Linda Cardellini<\/a> is Olivia.<\/p>\n Joe Manganiello<\/a> is Bruno.<\/p>\n Drea de Matteo<\/a> is Stella.<\/p>\n Talia Shire<\/a> is Teresa.<\/p>\n Brenda Vaccaro<\/a> is Antonella.<\/p>\n Susan Sarandon<\/a> is Gia.<\/p>\n Lorraine Bracco<\/a> is Roberta.<\/p>\n Karen Giordano<\/a> is Nonna.<\/p>\n Michael Rispoli<\/a> is Al.<\/p>\n Nonnas<\/em><\/strong> works on so many levels. It is a film about a personal journey. One that includes the realization of memories and starting new ones. At one point, Joe makes the Sunday Gravy of his youth. He also begins a relationship with Olivia. <\/p>\n I had a small lump in my throat by the end credits. But, as the opening paragraph states, there was also that lovely warm fuzzy feeling of a delightful story well told. <\/p>\n It goes without saying that Nonnas is funny in all the right places. <\/p>\n Director Stephen Chbosky<\/a> takes the tale written by Liz Maccie<\/a> \u201cinspired by Joe\u2019s real life story,\u201d and mixes it like that Sunday Gravy. The music scored by Marcelo Zarvos<\/a> is a perfect fit for the theme and the time period. The design and the sets are cozy and they draw you into the action. <\/p>\n The casting for Nonnas is nigh on perfect. Vaccaro, a personal favorite was brilliant. *To be fair, all the Nonnas were spot on.* The film gives us a chance to see Cardellini once again, always a good thing. There could have been more Rispoli though. I have been a fan since While you Were Sleeping<\/strong><\/em>, \u201cI love black underwear\u2019s\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Nonnas<\/em><\/strong> is a massive 5 star film Netflix and Vince Vaughn have delivered a delightful treat.
