After starring in a string of heavy dramas, Andy Garcia lightens up and goes for the funny in City Island, a breezy comedy that fits the actor like a güayabera. Garcia stars as Vince Rizzo, the patriarch of a boisterous Italian-American family in the eponymous Bronx suburb whose members constantly lie to each other, until those lies snowball into a pile so large it can no longer be ignored.
Before then, though, Vince, a prison guard, is taking acting lessons but hiding them from his wife (Julianna Margulies), who thinks he’s having an affair. Their daughter Vivian (Dominik Garcia-Lorido, Garcia’s real-life daughter) has dropped out of college and is moonlighting as a stripper. Their teenage son Vinnie (Ezra Miller) has a fetish for overweight women — and learns that the obese neighbor across the street maintains a members-only website. Also, everyone smokes cigarettes but claims they don’t smoke.
