TWO FAMILY HOUSE is one of the year's best films. It is the story of a perpetual loser named Buddy (Michael Rispoli) who has a dream to open his own bar where he can sing. His wife, played by Katherine Narducci, thwarts him at every turn. She yells at him and just wants her life to stay the way it always was. Buddy wants more. He buys a house, and he has to throw the upstairs tenant out- a beautiful Irish girl (Kelly McDonald from TRAINSPOTTING), who has just had a baby. To complicate things, the baby is half black. He helps her out, and soon they realize they have feelings for each other- but what to do about them? TWO FAMILY HOUSE is a lovely movie- full of effection for its characters. It's realistic and believable. The performances are great- not just by the three leads but all the supporting characters including Vincent Pastore, "Big Pussy" from "The Sopranos", as another local bartender. This is a wonderful, big-hearted film.
