To celebrate the 50th anniversary of grandma Alba and granddad Pietro, a big extended family gathers on the beautiful island where they used to spend their summers. And like every family, there are unspoken tensions, simmering jealousies, and not-so-well-kept secrets bubbling underneath the initially merry surface. When a storm rises and all the ferries to the island are canceled, the happy façades begin to crumble, and what was meant to be a brief joyous occasion turns into two days and two nights of explosive Italian drama. Fluidly choreographing this crowded spectacle is the gifted veteran Gabriele Muccino (The Last Kiss;The Pursuit of Happyness), who mixes comedy, poignancy, and high drama with great finesse. We become happily entangled in the love affairs, rivalries, and resentments of three generations of this bountiful and beleaguered family. It's an eight-course meal of a movie.
