Everybody Wants to be Italian
When Italians couldn’t be more feared in a television series like The Sopranos, in a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy like Everybody Wants to Be Italian
they’re humorous, admirable masters of love.
For main character Jake Bianski (Jay Jablonski), a self-made business genius, finding love couldn’t be more difficult, especially when you work in a stinky fish market. Unmistakably and stubbornly in love with his ex-girlfriend Isabella, who is married with three children, Jake has attempted for eight years on their ex-anniversary to win her love for him. And every year Isabella’s rejection gives Jake sour grapes.
For his closest friends and co-workers, Gianluca and Steve, this is a tragic case of wanting what you can’t have. To them, he not only needs help finding a new love but some serious psychological therapy. In an attempt to save Jake from his futile efforts and irritating denial, they beg him to forget about the women that breaks his heart year after year.
Genuine and practical as their advice is, Jake insists on being with Isabella.
For fed up, self-proclaimed psycho-analyst Gianluca, a new women is exactly what Jake needs. Coincidentally Gianluca meets vibrantly dark featured Marisa Costa (Cerina Vincent) whose beauty only comes once a life time. In a case of mistaken ethnicity, Gianluca assumes her beauty to be of an Italian woman. Seizing the opportunity to save his friend from sickness, Gianluca desperately convinces Marisa to meet Jake at an Italian singles party.
As the date is set, Jake, a non-Italian himself who is under the impression that Marisa is Italian, puts on a façade that he too is Italian. Marisa, who is also a non-Italian, pretends as well. As they meet and date, however, Jake’s clumsy conversational skills and frankness about his ex-girlfriend does more damage than good. In spite of a perfect opportunity to forget Isabella and meet someone new, Jake is having trouble loving a different woman. It’s a quest of overcoming denial and misfortune while trying to open himself to new horizons.
You may laugh-out-loud and you may even be inspired by this fish-tale of love, but you certainly won’t stop shaking your head at Jake’s constant tomfooleries. It’s a great flick. Take a date and expect to see it in theaters in 2008.
