At first, they work for Polowski, who does shoddy work and cheats on his jobs. When the brothers can no longer take being employed by such an angry vitriolic boss who takes no pride in his work, they set up their own company. Together, Vitelli Brothers Construction builds houses with pride and care. However, Mac turns out to be an overbearing workaholic, with obsessive concern about the quality of their work and incredible attention to detail.

*********




I just watched it. Turturro based this movie on the life of his father during the 50’s. Mac struggled with how the world was changing. Today people who “can talk” are held in high regard, while back in his father’s day it was people who “could do”. He borrowed his father’s phrase: “There’s only two ways to do something, the right way and my way, and they’re both the same.” Good movie, I enjoyed it.

I couldn’t find him in the credits, but I know that I saw Michael Imperioli riding in one of the cars. (btw, I just found out that his first name is actually James)

She's not secure in your manhood, either.

:shakesfistmeekly: It was just not a good movie. What Italian is named Mac anyway? Why did they have the nails on a chalkboard sound effect when they would look into the casket. Why the constant shots of the italian nonnas with lace on their heads? We get it, an Italian funeral, get on with it already. Just had too high of expectations.

My recommendations haven't been going over very big lately. I think you should go into anything I suggest with very low expectations. It's what I do and it seems to work for me.

I think we disliked it intentionally so we could switch to watching Animal House.
