This movie gets 7 stars only because of Renato Carosone. He is an excellent performer, an excellent actor, and a better singer than I expected.
There were only two main characters in the movie that I cared about, Renato and Salvatore's aunt. They were definitely the most sympathetic characters in the film. The stepmother did well, but there was nothing special about her performance.
Renato's drummer, Gegé di Giaccomo is a great performer and very engaging. He should have had a bigger role.
The scene at the end where everything resolves at Renato's performance is the best scene in the film, and it's all because of Carosone. Two years ago I had never heard of him and today I think he's a great talent.
I would only recommend this movie if you were interested in watching Carosone perform, otherwise give it a miss.
