City Island

Indie, Dry Comedy
4.5 stars
Loved it. Andy Garcia stars as the dad of a dysfunctional family where everyone keeps big secrets from one another. Garcia works as a prison guard and learns one of the inmates reaching the end of his incarceration is actually his illegitimate son whom he never met (Steven Strait). More lies ensue which result in comedic predicaments for all. Juliana Margulies stars as Garcia’s wife, Emily Mortimer plays a friend, and my favorite character is the teenage son with a fetish, Ezra Miller (“Royal Pains” and “Californication”). This film was actually released in 2009 and has been kicking around the theaters for some time now. I really liked it.
