big night be a hearty and satisfy tale of two italian brother come to america to make it big . primo and secondo have two very dissimilar ideal about food and business . the dichotomy that exist between the two brother provide for both tension and humour and fuel this delightful tale . shaloub and tucci and holm be all magnificent . holm a the ( literally ) as bite rival restaurateur be absolutely hilarious . shaloub and tucci and two native american and be very convincing a italian emigre . the woman and rosselini and driver and janney complement and flesh out the cast quite nicely . the film move along at a nice pace and generously sprinkle with humour and passion and tension . the big dinner party scene be lively and will have you dance in your seat . and the food they serve i get full just watch it all . my one complaint with this film be the superfluous use of italian . it an american film why must the brother ( and other cast member ) arbitrarily slip into italian conversation . it not a if it serve a a place for the character to secretly discuss thing just about everyone be italian . i do not feel it serve the film well at all . it do not add to it authenticity instead it appear to mimic a true foreign film . other than that the film be pleasant and enjoyable . after watch big night you will have a hankering for a big dish of just about anything italian .
