Co-directed by Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada, Spotlight) and Campbell Scott (Singles, Roger Dodger), this acclaimed culinary dramedy also co-stars both of them alongside a stellar cast of Oscar and Emmy nominees/winners including Tony Shalhoub, Minnie Driver, Marc Anthony, Allison Janney, and the late, great Sir Ian Holm. This is the simple of story of two recently emigrated brothers (Tucci, Shalhoub) from Italy who start their own Italian restaurant on the New Jersey shore in the 1950's. The food is great but business is slow, especially compared to a rival restaurant run down the street run by a much more business-savvy Italian owner played by Holm. Then one night, a unique opportunity presents itself: popular jazz singer/musician Louis Prima is coming to town and he will be going to THEIR restaurant! :) So the brothers pull out all of the stops to prepare some great food and invite every one they know to have dinner there, resulting in one potentially.....BIG NIGHT. ;)
