Review of Dinner Rush

That somewhat corny statement aside, Dinner Rush is a good movie. Not great, but certainly something to go to when you may feel tired of movies that leave a bad taste in your mouth (if at all, this film might encourage you to go to a fancy Italian restaurant). Anywho, the film weaves interconnecting plots involving a aging ex-mobster type (Danny Aiello in one of his better performances) who wants to get out of the numbers and restaurant businesses for good, a chef (Edoallero Ballerini) who wants to take over sed restaurant, and many other characters revolving on one night in the restaurant leading up to a surprising climax. Some flaws keep this from being a direct hit (Sandra Bernhard for one thing), but it is a pleasant enough dramedy to fulfil most people's entertainment values. B+
