This new Netflix comedy starring Vince Vaughn is hot out of the oven and stuffed full of laughs and love. Based on a true story, Nonnas follows Joe Scaravella, a man grieving the recent loss of his mother and grandmother. Inspired by the love they always put into their recipes, he decides to start his own restaurant and hire real Italian grandmothers to cook their signature family dishes.
Joe turns his grief into a culinary tribute to the women who raised him, and he recruits a wonderful cast of Italian women (Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire and more) to populate the kitchen in this warm, sweet film. Completely devoted to the love of moms and grandmas, Nonnas is a perfect film for your Mother’s Day movie marathon.
Nonnas highlights the universal theme of love and connection through the lens of food, an element that resonates deeply on Mother’s Day. No matter what culture you come from, you’ll relate to the way that food for Joe serves as a powerful vehicle of love and memory, especially as it’s passed down from one generation to another.
