We saw "City Island" the other night. The movie stars Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies as a husband and wife. They have a son and daughter, and all are hiding secrets from one another. The two leads are lovely to watch together. The same woman who plays an always-in-control attorney on "The Good Wife" reveals another dimension as a wholly believable Bronx MILF.

As a former Bronx girl, the scenery alone was worth seeing. However, the movie has a wonderfully comic appeal. Garcia is a prison guard who wants to be an actor. His bad Brando impersonation is hilarious, especially for us Godfather fans. As the various secrets of the family members are revealed, the film becomes wonderfully heart-warming and funny. While the coincidences border on the ridiculous, it never quite crosses the line from quirky to just plain silly.

The film is highly recommended.
