Our Family/(Italian) Christmas Memories (2022) - At last! This film was something different, it had some heart and feeling alongside the usual romance and with lots of Christmassy moments. Despite the sadder side of it, I felt very warmed by Grandpa Vincent's journey. Beau Bridges was actually very good in his role of the Grandpa, who was suffering with dementia and that made it so much easier to hope for a miracle at the end. Overall, I would probably say that it was more Anna's (Sarah Power) story than about the romance between her and Markian Tarasiuk in the role of Greg. She came to understand things better and realised the importance of family, as well as what can be missed by not being around for them. However, I could understand why Anna had stayed away so long, because everyone was quite horrible to her. Her sister Ella (Morgana Wyllie) in particular was a b!tch. I did like this one, even though the romance was definitely secondary to Anna reconnecting with her Grandpa and the memory problems that he had. I would have liked it to be an extra ten minutes longer to show more of her connection with Greg, but it was still good. Maybe not one to watch regularly perhaps, but not one to write off either. 6/10.

One story libe was fine (Alzheimer's) because that DOES affect many families, but not ONE family member (especially one that loved cooking and followed that career path) NOT remembering anything about a recipe that was served EVERY Christmas for decades, is a bit of a stretch. NOT bad acting, but the casting was absurd- the young doctor & grandson/brother should've switched characters. Beau Bridges? Italian? C'mon! GOOD casting would've been Joe Mantegna or Tony Danza. A crucifix over the stove? Where do producers and directors come up with these ideas? That's just plain silly! Before watching I correctly predicted the "lost" scene, the "finding of the recipe", and the mispronunciation of Italian phrasing. Typical cookie cutter formula...Disappointing. Lastly, they never mention the town, but the car license plates were from Pennsylvania.

This was a fair Christmas film that I had a little trouble watching. My difficulties where threefold: first there was the lack of actual Italians or actors who looked and sounded Italian in a film that is literally called Our Italian Christmas Memories, second was the lack of Christmas in what is essentially a Christmas film...if it wasn't for the three wisemen popping up occasionally and the German tradition of finding the pickle on the tree...I wouldn't have known this was a Christmas movie at all and third I am growing weary of Hallmark's tireless agenda of dead parents, broken homes, lesbians and additionally in this film a Ukrainian doctor! It's a Christmas movie, can't the politics be set aside for some entertainment? Now for the highlights of this film...Beau Bridges brought a lot of class to this film and even though he is quite definitely not Italian, I did feel that his portrayal of an individual suffering from dementia was a fairly good representation. The story follows the eldest daughter in an Italian family who comes home to look after her grandfather (Nonno) while her mom takes a trip. Anna Collucia, is an adjunct college professor and she spends most of her time away from home, so it is a shock to her that her grandfather's dementia has progressed as much as it has. The younger sister and her partner have been taking care of the grandfather's farm (which seems to be a greenhouse) and she has resentment for her older sister and wants to sell the farm because it id too much for her to take care of. The younger brother is an insecure individual who has failed at a bunch of jobs, but thinks he has finally found what he wants to do...be a cook...but he is still so afraid of failure that he panics, makes mistakes and runs out on his job (I am not sure what profession that behavior is acceptable in, in real life). Anna, thanks to her Nonno's doctor, decides to try and recreate her grandmother's sugo (or sauce) to help stimulate her grandfather's mind...so she spends most of the movie looking for the recipe or asking people what they know about it. Overall this was one of the sadder offerings for Christmas (2022) and if it wasn't for Beau Bridges...I might not recommend it at all, but my recommendation is not for romantics...but for people caring for aging parents and dealing with difficult family situations.

We all know Halmark holiday movies are meant to be fun lighthearted rom coms with a bit of temporary heartache/drama. Then they throw one at us that hits hard. Holly & Ivy was certainly one example. As another reviewer mentioned, Beau Bridges absolutely nails it here. Early on, there's a scene in the kitchen with labels everywhere. Looked identical to my grandmother's home. She died from Alzheimers in 1988, and dad died in 2020. He died from cancer but suffered dementia, often severe. I am now showing early signs myself and this is terrifying. So for Hallmark to make a movie which places light romance in the background and shines a light on real life difficulties and pain with a Christmas setting, they are to be applauded. Hallmark has the template in this movie for a Hall of Fame film, akin to A Dog Named Christmas. Yes, the pickle ornament is German (I know personally) but families make traditions from things with varied backgrounds. Not something that should keep one from enjoying the movie. The characters RJ and Anna are relatable, imperfect adults whose stories weave into the greater storyline we'll. Christmas time evolves for all of us, more so as you get older, lose parents, raise children to adults, and hold on to what is important best we can. It goes from magic to melancholy. This movie isn't heartbreaking. It's like a preview for people in their 20's - 30's as to what the future may hold. The closing of the movie is wonderful, but do yourself a favor - watch the movie. It's a worthy two hours. Kudos to Beau Bridges for his portrayal of a man dealing with dementia. It's worthy of an award nomination. Thank you for reading. I don't write many reviews but this was a personal one.

First of all, please consider that what you see in American movies is American-Italian and hardly ever Italian. Immigrants brought their traditions with them, often from small towns, they became famous there and now everyone believes they are in Italy too. For instance, I had never heard of the Feast of the Seven Fishes until I watched the American movie by the same name: nobody knows about it here, apart maybe from some small area in the south (Like mandolins, for God's sake please stop using them in every Italian movie you make :-) ). It was funny to hear them say "Sugo is regional" when the word just literally means sauce (sometimes used to describe tomato sauce, as you can imagine not a regional thing). Unfortunately the movie is right about one thing, kids not wanting to learn how to cook, people stopped learning a couple of generations ago or more. The movie itself is not bad compared to others in its genre, at least it's not just the copy/paste big town person going to a small town and falling in love, there's more here. Just one more thing that makes me smile: nono/nona means ninth in Italian, you need to add an "n" in the middle to make it grandparents. Would I recommend this movie? If you, like me, are addicted to feel-good Christmas movies I would definitely say yes.

This movie was shown on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel and like many of the movies there it is less about romance and more about family. Sarah Powers' Anna is the central character along with Beau Bridges' Nonno. Anna has traveled the world as an adjunct professor which has left her with relationship problems with her siblings. A further complication is that Nonno has Alzheimer's which is progressing to the second stage. The movie touches on the pain families endure as their patriarch loses vitality and worse. It deals with tension when one family member chooses a life away from the family home while those who stay behind must carry on and deal with the work involved in maintaining a family home, business or farm. There is a romance which I thought should have been left out. There are a lot of things going on without it, and that particular relationship doesn't get much attention. It doesn't get enough attention to see any chemistry between Powers and Markian Tarasiuk's Dr. Greg. The overall running theme of the movie is the importance of family no matter what. An ongoing thread in the story is the search for Nonna's favorite recipe. This movie offers an alternative to all the Christmas romance movies. The acting and other production values are good.

5.4 stars. This is in NO way Italian, not one bit. Beau Bridges as an Italian? Oh boy. This movie was all over the place. There's a scene, then they jump almost 30 years into the future. The grandfather didn't age a day. Already I knew this was going to be a farce. I think it's about a man with alzheimer's and a bunch of grandkids who have no idea what it means to be respectable human beings. Let's sell the farm, let's give up, let's bicker about irrelevant issues, and be illogical all the time. One sister is gay and her wife is pregnant. Who is the father? Why not explore that a little? I don't understand the point and I'm disappointed with this movie, but at least the doctor guy was cool. And the grandson, is that Woody Harrelson's kid? He has no authority or drive whatsoever, what a most emasculated character. His girlfriend was the coolest person in this movie, make her the lead next time, please. The kiss was misplaced and didn't belong in this film. Sure it was nice, but it felt like an attempt to resurrect a lifeless story. Ooof.

Eh, nothing to get excited over. I loved Sarah in The Good Witch series. She's so beautiful but WOW, that wig was a horrible choice for her, it looked fake and awful. She saved this movie. Beau Bridges was good. That's about it. So many storylines but the worst was the lead finding love in a matter of days, and he just happens to be handsome, single, great job. How many young doctors like him just happen to be available? The sister was obnoxious. The lesbian couple added nothing really. The mom who came and left. It's like here she is, here she isn't. The chef guy, added nothing and no chemistry with his girlfriend who declares her love. Gave this a generous 3 just because of Sarah.

Contrary to other reviewers I really enjoyed watching this movie that accurately portrayed a family dealing with a tough issue - early Alzheimer's disease. Beau Bridges acted the role so well. Family relations are messy with holidays intensifying all of those relationships. The actors playing the grandchildren were very believable. The story was well written; searching for the grandmother's sugo recipe was a great theme. Food is central in many families and preserving the recipes that have cultural meaning and history is of critical importance as people age and memories fail. More movies like this one please!
