Our suggestions
Leo Russo lives a simple life in Queens, New York, with his wife Angela, their son "Sticks", and a colorful network of Italian-American relatives and friends. After Sticks gets a life-changing opportunity to play college basketball, Leo goes to unexpected lengths to try and make sure his son doesn’t follow in his footsteps and end up in his family’s construction business.
"One of those straightforward films about family relationships, expectations, frustrations, and setbacks, with a predictable yet sincere and heartfelt resolution. Ray Romano's directorial debut (Everybody Loves Raymond) follows a working-class couple from Queens, Leo (Romano) and Angela (Laurie Metcalf, Lady Bird), whose expectations for their son are turned upside down when he excels on the school basketball team, opening doors to college basketball. With not many surprises, 'Somewhere in Queens' is a dramedy whose ending can be seen from miles away, but it remains comforting and well-directed."
