Plot Summary
In a restaurant run by two Italian immigrants, the tables sit empty despite the extraordinary talents of Primo the chef (Tony Shalhoub,"Monk") and the ambitious efforts of his brother Secondo (Stanley Tucci, The Devil Wears Prada). A celebrity night at their restaurant promises not only to turn their business around but to change their lives. It's a five-course gourmet experience filled with rich, delicious characters including the marriage-minded girlfriend (Oscar®Nominee* Minnie Driver), the seductive mistress (Isabella Rossellini) and the successful rival (Oscar® Nominee** Ian Holm). From the first bite to the last, this critically-acclaimed movie dishes up an irresistible evening of scrumptious entertainment.

Great addtion to iTunes
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The story is great, very visual with the food and sets, and the acting is phenomenal. A must see. Please make Big Night available for purchase; I would love to own this film instead of renting it. It is the kind of movie you want to watch over and over again.
Please let us buy this!!!
