A man unexpectedly finds himself talking care of four women, three of whom he barely knows, in this sunny comedy from Italy. Gianni (Gianni di Gregorio) is a man in his mid-sixties who still lives with his mother; given that Valeria (Valeria De Franciscis) is well into her nineties, these days he looks after her rather than the other way around, though she remains quite spry given her age. Gianni and Valeria share an apartment in a building owned by Luigi (Alfonso Santagata); Gianni owes money on the rent, and Luigi, who wants to take off for the midsummer festivities of Ferragosto, makes him a deal -- Luigi will forgive the debt if his elderly mother, Marina (Marina Cacciotti), can stay with Gianni and Valeria for a few days. Gianni grudgingly agrees, but is upset when he discovers Luigi has also brought his aging aunt Maria (Maria Calì). Word apparently circulates that Gianni is running an informal home for the elderly, as his friend Marcello (Marcello Ottolenghi) stops by and drops off his mother, Grazia (Grazia Cesarini Sforza), for a day or two. While Gianni scrambles to look after the various needs of four elderly women, it soon becomes clear the ladies have strongly differing views on a number of subjects, making his job all the more difficult. Pranzo di Ferragosto (aka Mid-August Lunch) was written and directed by Gianni di Gregorio, who also played the harried son; it was the first directorial project for the veteran screenwriter. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie Pranzo di Ferragosto (Mid-August Lunch)
A simple and endlessly charming look at a weekend in the life of an uncomplicated middle-aged man living with his aging mama.Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
Mid-August Lunch is a sweet-spirited gem, warmly comic while showing the hassles of caring for aging relatives more honestly than 10 family sagas from Hollywood.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Charming but insignificant.
Calvin Wilson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Not much happens in this wisp of a movie (it's barely 75 minutes), and not much is necessary; it's all about finding a mood and letting it sneak up and envelop the watcher.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
A tasty tidbit of a film, Mid-August Lunch is one of those movies where almost nothing happens but it happens quite nicely.
Tom Long-Detroit News
If Mid-August Lunch were a meal instead of a movie, it would be something light and quick, but not entirely unsatisfying. A green salad with a couple pieces of grilled shrimp on top, say.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
[A] unique recipe, a bittersweet comedy/drama, with a dash of realism.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
What a pleasure it is to see a film that treats the elderly as more just the sum of their age spots.
Rob Thomas-Wisconsin State Journal
These women! These women are marvelous.
Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle
This is a small, perfectly delicious film. The actors are magical.
Liz Braun-Jam! Movies
Novice feature director Gianni Di Gregorio has made a terrific and warm little comedy by only occasionally leaving his apartment in Rome.
Dan Lybarger-eFilmCritic.com
It's a gentle meditation on food and companionship.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star
[Di Gregorio] draws wonderfully unfussy performances from his nonprofessional cast and ... produces a film which feels so natural that it seems to be capturing real life
Sarah Boslaugh-Playback:stl
An Italian comedy so slight it practically evaporates...
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Easy as a Sunday morning ...
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
A delightful homage to the simple pleasures that life can offer no matter the age.
Richard Knight-Windy City Times
There's no grand drama or payoff to sleepy Italian import Mid-August Lunch -- this is essentially Polaroid-type, snapshot cinema. But there is truth here, and in truth there is always some value.
Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
It's a trifle, but a trifle that sticks.
Keith Phipps-AV Club
