Mid August Lunch
November 7, 2010 – Galaxy Cinema 7:00pm

Reviews:

Jeffery M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid: "A unique recipe, a bittersweet comedy/drama, with a dash of realism."

Dan Lybarger
, eFilmCritic.com: "Novice feature director Gianni Di Gregorio has made a terrific and warm little comedy by only occasionally leaving his apartment in Rome."

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: "You'd have trouble finding another movie with such unforced appreciation of its elderly characters or such intelligent understanding of old age."

The number of women multiplies unexpectedly, but Gianni heroically does his best to make them happy.
