Young Marco is obsessed with playing video games and hardly leaves the house. But when his grandfather moves in, Marco’s life is turned upside-down and he’s forced...to go play outside. Nonno introduces him to bocce — the world’s oldest game — and to the neighborhood crew of old-school seniors who play daily at the local court. With sport, laughter and love, Marco finds connection to other people “in real life” and rounds up a team of neighborhood kids to take on his grandfather and his pals.

Julio Vincent Gambuto's debut feature could be dismissed as formulaic and overly sentimental-but only by misanthropes. Cynics have plenty of other options for entertainment. This is a life-affirming feel-good movie Go to Full Review

Julio Vincent Gambuto's charmer is a rare live-action family film winner, one that's funny, sweet and certain to make you tear up a little. Go to Full Review
Teo Bugbee New York Times 11/19/2020
Marco's sourness curdles the confection and his undercooked complaints clack against the movie's warm tone, sending its simple pleasures into a scatter. Go to Full Review

The story had a message, the characters are relatable, and I easily connected to the emotions portrayed. My ten year old nephew, after seeing the movie, wants to play Bocce! See more 12/01/2020 Its a delightful and current-themed full-family film, bridging the gap between young (techno-kids) and old (techno-lost) family members. Hits all the highs and lows, laughs and tears. Lots to talk about around the kitchen table after viewing. See more 11/30/2020 Hands down my FAVORITE new (soon to be iconic) family film, but the adults in your life will love it as much as the kids. Belly laugh-filled, eye-misting, and timely! Brilliantly acted across the board, with the loving touch of writer/director Julio Vincent Gambino evident in every frame. I've already seen it twice, and since I coach a LOT of young actors, I've recommended it to ALL my students and their parents. Just pure joy. And besides, didn't you get your fill of real-life horror by living through 2020 (if you did!)? If you love it, do take the few minutes to rate and review it, as it's the new way for films to get the word out. This film deserves it! See more Read all reviews
