Nonnas (2025)

Vince Vaughn serves up more than just tasty Italian food in Nonnas. The feel-good biographical comedy explores grief, tradition, and the healing power of shared recipes. The story of Joe Scaravella, who uses his sorrow as a driving force to open a restaurant, is essentially a celebration of culture, family, and the simple joys of a home-cooked meal. It invites viewers to sit down, share a plate, and the flavors and people that make us who we are. Although the movie leans into some familiar tropes, it does so with a sincerity and charm that will make everyone feel warm and fuzzy.

If you’re missing a loved one, or if you want to watch a movie that will inspire you to cook—or make you want to try new things when it comes to food, Nonnas is the perfect main dish. A sweet story about following your dreams, no matter how old you are, family, and what it means to keep traditions alive, Nonnas will make you feel warm and fuzzy. It will also probably make you feel like calling your mom and your grandma, if you’re still lucky enough to have them in your life. A perfect family watch.
