This is a film with a heart that bleeds at times: Vinnie’s young daughter is hospitalized with a life-threatening cancer, and the scenes in the hospital room between father/daughter are heart wrenching. Vinnie’s wife died and he blunts the emotions of having to deal with the possibility of also losing his daughter. The scenes with his old buddies are wonderful! Knowing how guys talk, especially New Yorkers, I knew the language had been cleaned up; but this takes nothing away from the flow of the film. Watching Vinnie come out of his emotionally numbed state and begin a relationship with his daughter’s nurse, was like watching a pro peel a delectable orange; carefully and loving. The singing is great, especially when Vinnie teams with his young son. This is good viewing and recommended for older teens and adults.
