La cena per farli conoscere (2007)

English titles: A Dinner for Them to Meet; The Get Together Dinner.

An over-the-hill third-rate Italian actor is forced by circumstances to receive help from his estranged daughters.

Defined as a "sentimental comedy". Bad acting abounds in it, the most evident exception being the main actor. The film is watchable, but far from brilliant, the most embarrassing moments being provided by the protagonist's "quirky" son-in-law, who is obsessed with women's hair. Perhaps the film is intended as a joke, the punchline being the protagonist's hilarious filmography which is displayed in the end. I notice that the three last sentences in this review are similarly structured with the word "being".

Rating: 33
