Well-acted, lovingly put together and heartbreakingly honest.
Experience filmgoing joy.
In the face of intolerance, Two Family House lovingly celebrates the triumph of love and acceptance over prejudice.
For all the pic’s sentimentality, De Felitta refuses to back away from some unpleasantly realistic touches.
A charming, (mostly) briskly unsentimental love story, written, directed and acted with remarkable assurance.
Writer-director Raymond De Felitta has crafted a pleasant, low-key script that's full of small surprises, nice turns, and engaging, naturalistic dialogue, and he keeps the big, emotional family scenes, which often render this sort of material cliched and hackneyed, to a minimum.
The sappy trappings that director Raymond De Felitta piles onto the burgeoning romance story line kills any spark that remains, despite the best efforts of the cast to keep it real.
