Somewhere in Queens (2022)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Sadsack dad and sadder sack kid encounter emotional hijinks at home, at work, and in college. Set in Glendale.

A solid 7 , some excellent performances, Ray Romano is an underrated actor

Thanks again for the great rec

Gosh, I was worried people would see this and think I recommended it.

I had a few problems

1-It's set in Queens and even has it in the tile but could have been anywhere. Other than doing one of those drive-bys to establish location at the beginning (oh look! Citi Field!) there was little there but for neighborhood houses, exteriors of that banquet hall on Queens Boulevard, and what looked like the make-out spot in Forest Park--I ride my bike there.

2-About 30% the movie takes place in a car--the kid has his own car. Nobody takes a train anywhere.

3-I didn't buy any Dad making such a dumb mistake as Ray did, or the girl following through, or the kid buying it.

4-Mom's Queens accent sounded like a Wisconsin accent.

I did like that it was understated and sweet at its core and would agree performances were good except for the accent. Giving it a 5

Yeah all that , plus Sebastian Maniscalco plays the same guy in everything, plus no way hot Pamela is taking Leo to her bed lol

Probably a little long too
