8/10
Spaghetti and meatballs
13 July 2023
This film is like spaghetti and meatballs. As a kid, Thursdays were spaghetti and meatballs night. I still make it at least once a month. I've had it, on occasion, at fancy restaurants. It tasted just like spaghetti and meatballs, like home.

Reliable. Satisfying. Filling. Comforting. A bit spicy. I happen to like a spicy a meatball.

I'll bet I've seen this film fifty times, not as often as I've eaten spaghetti and meatballs, but still a lot. I traveled a great deal in the 90s. This film, on DVD, went with me everywhere. On the plane or in some hotel, I could pop it in to my laptop and feel right at home.

I'm watching it again right now, feeling right at home. Like spaghetti and meatballs, it's a staple, a dish I don't think I'll ever stop enjoying no matter how many times I've eaten it.
