| I saw this film recently&it was pretty good. it dealt with Resteraunt cliches&also Mob related cliches within the film. Danny Aiello was cool through the whole film. it had a real intimate setting&feel yet despite so many mini little sub plots going on around it. Bob Giraldi did a good job. I think a few things could have been flipped a bit to make this film a bit more stronger,but it was a pretty good film nevertheless. |

| Was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. If this movie ever makes it to Spike TV or another cable station, it will find its audience and people will embrace it; quotes will be flying.
A highly entertaining movie which Danny Aiello anchored masterfully. The women in the film were good but the mens interaction with one another was fascinating. |

| Initially, when I heard about this movie, it really didn't interest me. A mobster movie that takes place in a restaurant? Every mobster movie does that for at least five minutes and then goes on to the more interesting aspects of mob life. Yeah, Italian mobsters eat in Italian restaurants, but that's just where they eat. If I wanted to see food or people eat, I'd just watch the food network. So, yeah, this movie didn't interest me at first, but it's really quite good! I'm so glad I saw it! The pace of the movie is so fast, and yet it flows so naturally. I didn't expect the cool ending, mostly because the story just kept developing and developing and it seemed like the night would just go on forever (in a good way). It's like a really long episode of Cheers but in a fancy New York restaurant with mobsters and hipsters. All of the characters are fascinating and charismatic. It's a very rewarding movie definately worth seeing! |

| Dinner Rush tells the story of one day in the life of a Tribeca eatery undergoing an identity crisis.
The owner (Danny Aiello) likes his classic and traditional Italian dishes. His son, a rising celebrity chef is into nouveau cuisine. He reminds his father in one scene "sausage and peppers is not on my menu".
In the course of the evening, there will be an offer made to Louis by two known gangsters they insist he cannot refuse, one of the city's top food critics makes an unannounced visit, the staff will have to deal with a melange of difficult customers, the chef will insist his father step down and sell him the business, the sous chef has made a perilous and ill advised bet with the aforesaid gangsters and is listening to his money go up in smoke on a transistor radio, and just why is John Corbett sitting at the bar and observing all of the goings on?
If you liked Big Night, you're absolutely going to love this movie. Very well done!!!!
