Nicky Deuce Movie Review
“Schirripa steals the show in this movie based on his own co-authored children's book, and tweens and adults alike will love his portrayal of the unpredictable and slightly off-kilter Uncle Frank, who proves to be just the influence Nicky needs to come out of his shell. Sopranos fan or not, seeing this recognizable cast – James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli, Vincent Curatola, and Tony Sirico – in a kids movie is reason enough to watch, and you won't be disappointed by the comical spin the story puts on their tough-guy reputations. Happily, Nicky Deuce doesn't rely just on familiar faces (including iCarly's Munck) to win over fans. Its story is a pleasant mix of comedy, drama, and feel-good messages about the joys and frustrations of family life.” 4/5 Common Sense Media – recommended for age 7+
