"Big Night" Dinner & A Movie

MOVIE
Big Night (1996, directed by Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci) features two Italian brothers (played by Tucci and Tony Shaloub) who run a restaurant on the Jersey Shore in the 1950s. They argue about authenticity and integrity, versus compromise and financial success, in the big-hearted comedy-drama.
