The acting is bellow amateur. I found this film to be funny for how bad it really is. "Italian grandma" with a hilarious Texas accent, 23 year old grandfather with a school play beard.... If you like to waste time, this is the film for you.

GTornatore23 June 2021There is ZERO Italian about this movie. Just your typical Hollywood unfunny sitcom of a dysfunctional family with neurotic characters. The producers chose to slander Italians with this trash, but they could have chosen any other ethnic group.
Don't waste your time.
If you want to see an actual funny movie about a dysfunctional Sicilian family, try Seduced and Abandoned. -
dishitupsup5 January 2023This is a CINEMATIC BLUNDER without TASTE or TALENT! This directorial mish-mash packed in a FILM CAN... A SCORCHED "HALF-BAKED" Attempt to Emulate Authentic Characters by cooked up ANTICS and THEATRIX missed its plate. Watch Any stark Pre-WWII B&W "Fascist Mussolini At The Balcony" Muse Reels and Not refrain from a Politically Charged Stereotype "Chuckle"... or anb Impoverished Irish American LOUD Mouth Ralph ripping Norton, Alice, Trixie and whomever Ralph invents to Pick a Beef with in the World Reknowned definition of "Woefully Humorous" to Laugh at one's True Family History Humorously Depicted in its Own True and "Needy" Dire ... We can't define HILARIOUS any better how this "wrist slashingly deepressing hellarity of a Drab One Window & Door Gloomy LOW BUDGET PRODUCTION Apartment Set" SPELLED CREATIVE GENIUS Shot on a HOTEL'S STAGE before a LIVE AUDIENCE Told a FAIRYTALE TRUE STORY or an EXTREMELY BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE EXAMPLE to EMULATE ANY BETTER... with an AUDIENCE APPEAL that REMAINS nearing a CENTURY of GLEESON'S GREATNESS for "FILMED LAUGHTER" than LASSIE is for DOG!!
THERFORE Any Upcoming Needy Producer/Writer or Director needn't go far to find RERUNS that served (many a TV Dinner Plate) to find as a WORTHY influential mentorship to set sail for Success with. Sadly More-often than ever... The BACKSTABBING EGOCENTRIC SELF stands in the Way of BACKSLAPPING ADMIRATION. After All Said and Done; who couldn't have some feelings of EMPATHY for these poor story scavengers that Sent Themselves up A CREEK without even a PADDLE. In This Industry... at One Time or Another WE ALL MUST bravely ADMIT to say I've "BEEN THERE"! -
gurelnil25 January 2023I had a blast watching Doug Bremner's "Inheritance Italian Style", he also appears as the postman in the film. The characters are inspired by his wife's family's roots in Italy, props/decor are excellent. Though the film was shot in Atlanta, I thought it's shot in Italy. The estate, grape vines, and the farmland are all very quaint. This is an independent film made possible by the director's resources and other kickstarter government initiatives. The director still does a great job compared to boring movies with larger budgets and resources. Characters are dysfunctional and fun. Watch this indie gem for a good time!

soccir17 September 2016This is a fun film that contains all the ingredients necessary for sustained enjoyment. As the moviegoer I felt each of the characters was relatable in more than one aspect. While they shared a certain commonality in behaviors and attitude, each also maintained an individual uniqueness and charm that,in differing capacities,endeared each to the viewer. It is a fine portrayal of how individual perspective of human weakness results in a vast array of conclusions. Moreover the film recognized, if not celebrated, the power of tradition, loyalty and family and how these bonds, or lack thereof, command attention and drive expressive emotion in each and every one of us. Plus, who doesn't enjoy observing others who are convincingly crazier than any of us dare declare ourselves to be. Much of the photography was excellent and the scene transitions were timely, creating a level balance of dialogue and visual stimulation. The elements of mass appeal contained within the story provide a vehicle for entertainment of young and old alike. Each of the actors performed with a measured pride in the work. The overall satisfaction in the entertainment value of this film is a fine testament to the worthy effort put forth by the producers, cast and crew.

giugiba5 October 2016I really enjoyed watching "Inheritance Italian Style". It's fun and engaging, perfect for all. The characters are very unique but, at the same time, well connected with each other through out the story. Each of them has a different story and absolutely different personality but they all mix very well together, just like any real family but.... just a little crazier. There are many unexpected situations that keep you watching and wondering about what happen next. Photography and music are excellent, creating a perfect balance with the story and the characters. I highly recommend this movie if you are looking for some fun and relaxing time.
