This movie has heart. Pure and simple. The core of the movie has to do with four sisters, all having different troubles, yet they are always there for one another. This is truly a film that cannot be missed. It has humor, drama, and a general sweetness to it. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see a good family movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Family Life with all the Strife, March 29, 2005

This review is from: The Amati Girls (DVD)

What a delightful movie. The characters were not only lively but alive, mirroring real every day life and strife within a family. Each character brought a unique personality to the story that the audience could easily associate with someone they know within their own family or circle of close friends.

The story has a true-to-life flow that the viewer can assimilate into and be part of the drama, the laughter and tears as the plot of the movie develops. The script does a good job of capturing the common emotions, actions and reactions of the characters to conflict, opinion, and resolve.

Not an epic, but it is a very nice movie to watch with loved ones. Plenty of knowing head nods and `ahhh' moments to share and enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars The love of sisters, February 20, 2010

This review is from: The Amati Girls (DVD)

The `Amati Girls' is a story of sisters and a point in time in their lives. It is like life - joyful and sad and filled with emotions, both love and anger.
It has 3 Oscar winners in the cast; Mercedes Ruehl, Cloris Leachman and Lee Grant. It also contains in the cast Paul Sorvino, Sean Young and Mark Harmon. The chemistry between the sisters is unmatched and Mercedes Ruehl cannot be surpassed in her acting in this. The one setback lies in the emotions between the sisters and their men, it lacks any spark.
I had given this to a friend to help complete her `Mark Harmon' collection and she asked me to include this information for anyone who is getting this because of Mark Harmon, he is in very little of the movie, she actually counted scenes and lines and came up with the tally of 8 scenes and 17 lines - so if that matters to you?... There is that information.
The DVD has extras of: Spanish subtitles and the movie trailer.
In total it is an engaging family movie, that actually is not trite nor follows a presupposed pattern. As I said it's like life and worth watching.
