Everybody Wants to Be Italian: film by Jason Todd Ipson on Italo-American culture

I can safely say that I have never ever seen an Italian do that kiss thing with the fingers so popular with Italian migrants, and I can dispute the claim that “Italians are known for being great lovers”.
And this film, like many of its kind, is likely to be a representation of Italo-Americans, not Italians.

Jason Todd Ipson’s “Everybody Wants to be Italian” looks like a fun film but don’t let it fool you into thinking that this is what modern Italy and Italians are like.

We give you this funny trailer with actors Jay Jablonski, Cerina Vincent, John Kapelos, John Eros III, Marisa Petroro, Richard Libertini, Judith Scarpone, P.
J Marino and Tammy Pescatelli.
The story plays on age-old stereotypes of conquering an Italian woman, who would probably never go out with anyone who wasn’t Italian himself.
Maybe this is an attempt 2008’s version of “My big fat Greek wedding”, although perhaps a little less sophisticated.

See after the jump for the film’s poster, which really plays on the cultural theme.
This will likely produce some cringe moments for native Italians on Italian shores, while their culture as it is in 2008, is continually misunderstood by migrants who’ve rarely been back.

And as it’s something that annoys me about Italo-Australians from my country, just for the record, NOT everyone wants to be Italian.
