Secondo (Stanley Tucci) has a problem. His brother Primo (Tony Shalhoub) is a culinary wizard, but his refusal to compromise his authentic Italian cuisine has left their Jersey Shore restaurant on the verge of tanking. Given one last chance to make their name by serving singer Louis Prima, the brothers put everything they have into preparing the meal of a lifetime. Unquestionably one of the great food films, Big Night proves a hearty meal indeed, offering a soulful reflection on artistry, immigration, resilience, and kinship.
