NONNAS

“NONNAS” is a 2025 Netflix original comedy/drama starring Vince Vaughn (Freaky), Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos), Talia Shire (Rocky), Brenda Vaccaro (Midnight Cowboy), Drea de Matteo (The Sopranos), Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise), and Linda Cardellini (Freaks and Geeks).

An Italian man (Vaughn) loses his mom and with her life insurance money he opens up a restaurant on Staten Island. He hires a group of nonnas (Italian grandmas) to serve as his cooks. He wants to bring the world the same type of homemade meals he grew up with to honor his mother.

I’ll watch anything with Vince Vaughn in it, he’s a loveable big guy that you can’t help but love. The cool thing about this movie is it’s based on a true story. The restaurant is still going strong to this day. The acting is great, it’s hilarious and heartfelt. The bickering between the nonna’s will have you cracking up. We all know someone like them in our own lives. It will have you in your feels several times to the verge of tearing up. It’s a great heartfelt movie that the whole family can enjoy. I give it a 9/10.
