Vince Vaughn’s ‘Nonnas’ Receives Positive Reviews and Solid Scores on Rotten Tomatoes

The Netflix comedy film *Nonnas*, starring Vince Vaughn, has received a warm reception from both critics and audiences since its release. Scoring a 79% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and 75% from viewers, the movie is seen as a heartwarming and entertaining experience. Directed by Stephen Chbosky and written by Liz Maccie, the film follows a man who seeks to honor his mother by opening an Italian restaurant run by grandmothers. Critics have praised its sentimental value, its respectful portrayal of older women, and the nostalgic atmosphere. While not groundbreaking, reviews note that its sincerity and cast performance—featuring Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, and Talia Shire, among others—elevate it beyond cliché. Some reviewers even highlight the Italian dishes in the film as scene-stealers. Based on the real-life story of Joe Scaravella, owner of the Staten Island restaurant Enoteca Maria, the film includes a cameo by Scaravella himself. This marks Vince Vaughn’s return to film since *Queenpins* (2021), with more projects on the horizon, including *Animal Friends* and *Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice*. *Nonnas* is now available for streaming on Netflix.
