DVD Reviews of Fatso

DVD Review: yikes!
Summary: 5 Stars

The Movie:
Fatso!
My review is brief; the film is a funny and sensitive, Black Comedic, satirical, Romantic, love story, focused on Italian America culture and food.
The cast is mostly Italian, including the director. Dom Deluise is incredible and the Food Junky Splurge scene is at the same time both hilarious and sad. So if you are Italian American, or of any ethnic group which appreciates the food, the culture and humor of same, this is a hilarious and yet poignantly, sensitive, ethnic film classic.

Ann Bancroft, is an Italian American, actor/director and is also related to the late, great, Oak Park Illinois architect; Frank Lloyd Wright.

DVD Review: A wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I haven't seen this movie since its release, yet I still vividly remember parts of it to this day, 29 years later. One scene in particular sticks with me, where Dom Deluise's character is sent out to buy Chinese food to bring back for supper. Hours pass, and the family grows more and more worried as he fails to come back. When he finally does come home, the truth comes out that he has eaten all of the food he was to have brought home, and one character (Anne Bancroft?) is yelling at him "You ate $40 worth of Chinese food?"

DVD Review: Disregarded Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this movie--perhaps it's my predominantly Italian background. "Fatso" is the closest a movie has ever gotten to what the urban Italian-American is like. I don't think a lot of folks will get the humor-it's of a very special brand. This is the type of film where even the crudeness works for it.

It's also one of a kind, since this was the first mainstream American film whose director and DOP were women. Anne Bancroft shows her real talent here as Antoinette Fasano (DeLuise's sister)-a woman of intense emotion. The storyline is a little thin but the acting and script are great, hilarious and first rate.

DVD Review: Fatso " good old italian movie"
Summary: 3 Stars

I grew up on this movie and had to get it on dvd. tired of watching on vhs..i'm a dvd and blu-ray fan..couldn't take it anymore..big fan of this movie.

DVD Review: So Funny!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this movie because I saw the original years ago, and thought it was funny. I invited friends to my house to watch it, and we just couldn't stop laughing. I would tell anyone who wants a good laugh to buy it. Especially someone who grew up in a family, where food was very very important.

Description of Fatso

From the day he was born, food has always been the ultimate comfort for middle-aged bachelor Dominick DiNapoli (Dom DeLuise). But when his obese cousin Sal dies at 39, Dom must finally come to terms with his own weight problem. From quack doctors and harsh diets to his overbearing Italian family and a fanatical support group called 'The Chubby Checkers', nothing can come between a man and his manicotti. Could a new love with a neighborhood woman (Candice Azzara of EASY MONEY) finally curb Dominick's out-of-control appetite or will self-doubt eat away at his last chance for happiness? Ron Carey (HIGH ANXIETY) and Estelle Reiner (WHEN HARRY MET SALLY) co-star in this bittersweet yet delicious comedy written and directed by Anne Bancroft (winner of the 1962 Academy Award? for Best Actress, THE MIRACLE WORKER).
