Plot Summary
Jake, a lovelorn fishmonger who has spent nearly a decade trying to win back his ex-girlfriend gets involved in a romantic case of mistaken ethnicity. It's been eight years since Jake's girlfriend left him, and despite the fact that she's now married with three children, he refuses to move on. Fed up with their depressive pal's unwillingness to let go of the past, Jake's friends set him up on a blind date with a beautiful Italian woman from Boston's North End. Though Jake is convinced that such a woman would never consider dating a non-Italian, a quick crash course in how to fake it may prove just the trick to helping him learn to love once again.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: How atrocious is the comedy Everybody Wants to Be Italian? Let me count the ways.
Rotten: A clarification is in order. Nobody wants to be these Italians.
Rotten: A box of cannoli long past its sell-by date.
Rotten: This lame-brain romantic comedy strives hard for a shambling charm, but is unlikely to prove appealing to even the most undemanding of audiences.
Customer Reviews
Not an Italian
This is the kind of movie you can lay back and enjoy. I am always looking for something to pass the time besides TV. This movie is an acceptable substitute.
Terrible!
I managed to make it through nearly an hour of this movie before I finally turned it off. The characters make decisions that don't make any sense, they're boring, and so stupid it's painful. I would spend 10 minutes thinking the plot couldn't possibly get more banal or ridiculous and then the next scene would prove me wrong. An extremely attractive, 20's something guy stalks his ex-girlfriend from 8 years ago every day even though she's now married with 3 children? The ex-girlfriend and husband don't get a restraining order? The new "girlfriend" decides to continue being friends with him anyway, even though she can't stand him, just because he's cute?! Stupid! A 10 year old could have done better at writing and directing this movie. Save your money and especially your brain cells.
Great!
My wife and I thought it was hilarious!
