Everybody Wants to Be Italian

Everybody Wants to Be Italian, in the US on Starz Apple TV Channel and Hoopla, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video, does something a lot of comedies forget to: it's consistently funny. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. With 40 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Jay Jablonski's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Starz Apple TV Channel whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Everybody Wants to Be Italian is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Everybody Wants to Be Italian does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Are all relationships based on lies? Jake Bianski runs a fish market in north Boston, surrounded by Italians. For years, he's carried a torch for Isabella, an ex-girlfriend now married with three children and no interest in Jake. Jay Jablonski and Cerina Vincent lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Everybody Wants to Be Italian came out in 2007. The timing in Everybody Wants to Be Italian is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Everybody Wants to Be Italian is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Jay Jablonski's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
