29th Street
Anthony LaPaglia of WITHOUT A TRACE stars as Frank Pesce, the $6.2 million winner of the first New York State Lottery. Unfortunately, Frank is also a full-time dreamer cursed with a lifetime of great luck, a bickering Italian-American family, and a love-hate relationship with his loser gambler father, Frank Sr. (Oscar® nominee Danny Aiello of DO THE RIGHT THING and MOONSTRUCK). But when Frank Jr. makes a deal with local mobsters, will his lottery prize be his unluckiest break ever? Fuhgeddaboutit! The biggest jackpot of all may be waiting for Frank and his father among the good guys, bad guys and wiseguys of 29th STREET. Lainie Kazan (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING), Oscar® nominee Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN), Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts of THE SOPRANOS) and Frank Pesce himself co-star in this acclaimed comedy written and directed by George Gallo, the screenwriter of MIDNIGHT RUN.

Movie about growing up Italian in NYC
rating: 5
This is not a well known film but a personal favorite. Those who loved A BRONX TALE will get a kick out of this and for the same reasons. A sterotyical Italian/American family living in NYC and all the humor that can go along with that... PLUS, it has parts that can warm the heart. Both men and woman love this film.

Arizona Review/Great Christmas Movie MLB
rating: 5
We recorded this movie from HBO when it came out in the nineties. We watch it every December, with It's a Wonderful Life and Home Alone. Even though the lanquage is kind of rough, it is full of laughs, and tears and a great ending. The best part about 29th Street is that it is an awesome, true story.

Sweet Movie Based on a True Story
rating: 5
29th Street is a sweet movie that is great to watch during the holidays since so much of it is set at Christmas time and it has a nice message. If it wasn't for the very raw language this could almost be a family film but then if the language was cleaned up it would not be a realistic story of this man and his life. This is one of the handful of movies where the real life hero plays a smaller part in the film (in this case Frank plays his policeman brother). The characters argue, curse and shout but their love for each other shines through painting an endearing picture of blue collar New Yorkers in the 1970's. A film that deserves to be more well known than it is.
