5.0 out of 5 stars Check it out-, October 9, 2006

Great movie, great cast. If you're a fan of mob/mafia style movies you should check it out. If you're a fan of "guy works hard to be a somebody and make something of himself" style movies you should check it out. If you want to see a great story with great actors, you should check it out! Wannabes is more than just a mob flick, though it has just the right amount of that element. It's a story about family, friends, respect, and courage and what all that means on the streets. William DeMeo tells an American tale with a lot of heart- not to be missed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good movie, March 15, 2004

This review is from: Wannabes (DVD)

This film was very good. Demeo, Dubin, and Addessi. Deserved the awards that they won. Thousands of independent movies are made each year. Especially mob films. And they go no where. Just on the shelf. Artisan picked up this movie for a reason. It's damn good. The movie is everywhere. And it deserves the recognition that it is getting. The film is hardcore. Very good acting. Filmed on the streets of Bklyn.

Great movie. Very well done. William Demeo is awesome as the leader of the crew. Ray Serra who plays Uncle Tommy is also superb. I rented this film. Then bought it right away. If you like mob movies. You will definetly enjoy this one. It' a pleasant suprise for an indy.
