Leave your thoughts about Mambo Italiano.
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol ClingEvery time Mambo Italiano seems headed for a plunge into the ethnic cartoon swamp, a refreshingly, unexpected element throws up a roadblock and keeps the movie on solid emotional ground. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchOver-acted, over-directed but dully directed. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneJeff StricklerThe characters are blatantly stereotypical, but Galluccio is able to get away with it because he's poking fun at the people he loves. |
| Village VoiceEd HalterOld annoying ethnic family stereotypes meet new annoying gay-relationship stereotypes in this candidate for "Kiss Me Guido's" heretofore uncontested niche. |
| Zap2it.comMichael SzymanskiThis is "Big Fat Greek Wedding" with bite and one of the funniest films of the year |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford"Mambo Italiano" should go straight to video and not hog a big screen at a theater near you. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIntent on offering viewers a good time yet manages to sneak in considerable substance in a disarming, even old-fashioned manner. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonMore dispiriting than the caricatured Italian families is the sense that, by picture's end, the filmmakers have neutered Angelo, so that his sexual energy is dulled, made non-threatening -- the perfect son after all. |
| New York TimesDave KehrAs Angelo, Mr. Kirby has a boyish charm, which is probably the best that can be said for this film as well. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckEthnic and sexual stereotypes receive equally clumsy treatment in this Canadian comedy. |
