someone born and bred in City Island &#8211;\u00a0 as opposed to being a \u201cmuscle shucker\u201d &#8211; someone who moves into City Island.\u00a0 He lives in the house his grandfather built with his very own hands.\u00a0 A corrections officer at a high security prison in New York, Vince is married to the beautiful and fiery Joyce.\u00a0 With some 20+ years together, the two know everything there is to know about each other &#8211; or so they think.\u00a0\u00a0 They have two lovely children; Vince, Jr., who has an obsession with internet porn involving feeding fat women, and Vivian, the apple of daddy\u2019s eye, attending college on a full scholarship.\u00a0 And of course, as with all parents, Vinnie and Joyce also believe they know everything there is to know about their children.\u00a0 Fat chance, guys!\u00a0 And as with all families, the Rizzos have their ups and downs.\u00a0 Dysfunction in every direction, parents whose fiery Italian tempers flare at the slightest \u201cunintentional\u201d nudge, and secrets &#8211; boy do they have secrets!<\/p>\n<p>With Spring Break upon them, Vince is overjoyed at the thought of his daughter coming home for a week.\u00a0 Joyce, a lonely housewife but content and accepting in her marriage with Vince, is thrilled to have someone to shop and hang out with, yet enraged that Vince believes attending his weekly poker game is more important than being with the family to go out and celebrate his daughter\u2019s return home.\u00a0\u00a0 Vince wants Joyce to make a \u201cnice, big home-cooked family dinner\u201d, like \u201c[I] don\u2019t do that every night.\u201d\u00a0 Ouch!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But on top of the parental jabs,\u00a0 something seems amiss with Vivian that Vince just can\u2019t put his finger on, while Vinnie, Jr. just goes with the flow of tormenting his older sister and parents complete with name calling, yelling, food throwing, getting high unbeknownst to mom and dat &#8211; you know, normal family stuff with an underlying tension and fear as each is afraid that someone will tell something about something that is supposed to be a secret.\u00a0 Adding a new element to the mix is Tony Nardella, a young man whom Vince brought home from the prison.\u00a0 That\u2019s right, he brought an ex-con into the house, something that doesn\u2019t sit well with Joyce.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8590\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174357-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"2010-04-02_174357\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174357-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174357-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174357.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Under the guise of doing day labor with Vince on the boatshed out back,\u00a0 Tony seems to be the grounding element for the Rizzo family.\u00a0 A fine male specimen, Joyce and Vivian both may need a little cooling off from all the eye candy before them.\u00a0 Slowly, secrets unfold as things are disclosed to this stranger with the proviso that he keep each respective secret.\u00a0 Through Tony\u2019s eyes we learn everyone smokes, that Joyce is lonely and lustful and that she thinks Vince is having an affair rather than playing poker, and we find out that Vince is secretly studying to pursue his lifelong dream of acting, using the poker game story as a cover for acting class lest someone \u201claugh\u201d at him.\u00a0\u00a0 But as part and parcel to Vince\u2019s acting class is his acting partner Molly who acts not only as Vincent\u2019s acting muse, but as the catalyst to the unfolding of the biggest secret of all.\u00a0 And Vivian, well, it seems Vivian got busted for pot and lost her college scholarship forcing her to get a job stripping to make money for tuition so she doesn\u2019t have to tell her parents.\u00a0 And as for Tony, well Tony has no secrets but for one of which even he isn\u2019t aware.<\/p>\n<p>I have never enjoyed Andy Garcia in any role as much as I do here with his performance as Vince Rizzo.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 His comedic skills rooted in the drama of everyday life are beyond entertaining, garnering laugh out loud guffaws at every turn.\u00a0 His interpretation of a \u201cwannabe actor\u201d auditioning for a Scorsese and DeNiro movie had me rolling in the aisles, while his fatherly histrionics and melodrama is so true, so real, that it just breathes comedy and laughter.\u00a0 And at the heart of it all, is this permeating great love for his family and his idyllic life on City Island. Bravo!\u00a0\u00a0 According to Garcia, \u201cThe creative experience was fantastic for me.\u00a0 Layered on top, doing it with my daughter.\u201d\u00a0 But the enjoyment I got from reading that script and performing that character, I would hope would transfer into the experience of an audience.\u201d\u00a0 Trust me, it does.<\/p>\n<p>As Joyce, this is a Julianna Margulies we have never before seen.\u00a0 Dynamic, over-the-top, sensual, a mother ensconced in a 20 year marriage with teenaged kids and flabbergasting emotion that ratchets into explosive fiery familial rage, she is sensational.\u00a0 And her chemistry with Garcia?\u00a0 It\u2019s as if they had been married for 20 years.\u00a0 The explanation for this chemistry and Margulies\u2019 strong performance is simple according to Garcia.\u00a0 \u201cWe showed up and did it.\u00a0 There was no rehearsal or nothing.\u00a0 I worked with Julianna before in a movie. [Here] she was cast on Saturday, we started work on Monday.\u00a0 We showed up.\u00a0 We laughed.\u00a0 We looked at each other and it was like \u201cwe\u2019ve done this before\u201d and it was there.\u201d<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8592\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174628-400x277.jpg\" alt=\"2010-04-02_174628\" width=\"400\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174628-400x277.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174628-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174628.jpg 639w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But not only does Margulies have chemistry with Garcia.\u00a0 Take a look at her with Steven Strait\u2019s Tony Nardella!\u00a0\u00a0 Strait is a dream.\u00a0 And not just to look at ladies.\u00a0 Strait walks an emotional tightrope of honesty and integrity, bringing a pure sanity to the role that is a catalyst for comedic response.\u00a0 Careful with his facial expressiveness, Strait provides us with a POV that is enlightening and entertaining, while making Nardella likeable and appealing, despite his criminal past.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8589\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174334-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"2010-04-02_174334\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174334-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174334-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/2010-04-02_174334.jpg 641w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And what about the role of Vivian?
