Really good movie!
Almost every other writer/star of their own movie picks a younger woman to play his wife but Ray Romano picks one of the very best actors alive on earth, Laurie Metcalf, to play his wife in this really good movie "Somewhere In Queens" playing now on Hulu.
One of those movies were you start to watch it and before you know it it's over and you didn't really want to give it that much of your time because it's just another movie but that goddamn Ray Romano just knows what he's doing, doesn't he!
Suffice to say Ray's performance is very good as is the rest of the cast. But there is nobody like Laurie Metcalf. - nancylmarine - 11 November 2023
I'm not at all Italian, but this felt SO real!
I'm glad I stumbled across this movie on Hulu and gave it a try. Seeing Ray Romano and Laurie Metcalf as the leads clinched it for me, and it's totally worth the watch.
I'm not going to give you a recap like a lot of other raters do, because, hey... The description of the movie does that.
However, I could easily imagine something like this playing out in homes around the world, where we all can (sometimes) try too hard to make something happen, even if it means stepping on some toes.
I mean, don't ALL parents want to help their children achieve greatness in one form or another?
And the wedding where it all comes out? Who hasn't had a family reunion like this at one time or another?
Romano and Metcalf were both fantastic in this and believable as a married couple. The family members, always in their business, were also just as real.
This is a really good way to spend a couple hours to escape.
