Sebastian is encouraged by his fiancée to bring his immigrant, hairdresser father, Salvo, to a weekend get-together with her super-rich and exceedingly eccentric family. The weekend develops into what can only be described as a culture clash, leaving Sebastian and Salvo to discover that the great thing about family is everything about family. (Lionsgate US)

An unexpectedly very self-aware comedy, featuring an excellent Robert De Niro, which doesn't slip into forced vulgar humour, but maintains a good standard supported by fine characters and the surrounding environment. A relaxing flick for a wide audience.

Judging by the reviews, I was expecting something weaker, but in the end it's a pleasant family comedy that, by American standards, stays away from vulgarity, foul language and craziness. It's pleasant, smiley but entertaining enough. The protagonist is invited to stay with his fiancée's rich parents for the weekend, and they bring along his father, who is kind of a regular guy and doesn't quite belong in a rich family, and that makes it pretty funny. The funniest character is the brother, who is kind of the quintessential scumbag and has the best lines and that peacock dinner had a little something to it too. I laughed a few times, it's a feel good comedy for the unpretentious, but also for everyone. 6/10.
