Tribeca Film Festival: World Premiere of "Tony N' Tina's Wedding"

What if Romeo and Juliets parents had tried to put aside their differences and allowed the kids to get married? Tony N Tina's Wedding is a comedy of tragedy about two Italian families from different sides of the subway tracks. The Nunzio's, led by dominant patriarch Tony "Big T" Nunzio, are proud to be from Astoria, Queens where they operate a GoGo Bar. The Vitale's, led by strong matriarch Mrs. Josephina Vitale, have moved away from "trashy" Queens and now reside in the pleasant suburb of Massapequa, Long Island. Even though the parents disapprove of the marriage they realize the kids, Tony "Little T" Nunzio (Joey McIntyre) and Tina Vitale (Mila Kunis), are in love. So they agree to try to get along for their wedding day - "for the kids." Unfortunately for everyone involved, it might have been better had the kids just eloped. What can go wrong, does go wrong, in this over-the-top comedy that has a lot of something for everyone.
