Los Angeles Times, 07/11/1997, p.F22, "...Reno is as watchable a character as there is on screen; Ruehl is a national treasure..."

A beleaguered restauranteur (Reno) promises his terminally-ill wife she'll be interred in the same cemetery as her child, but the boneyard is so close to capacity that he finds himself on a frenzied mission to keep everyone else in their bucolic Italian village alive. Meanwhile, his wife prepares her younger, sexier sister to replace her as the family matriarch. An awkward marriage of black comedy and family drama.
