We recorded this movie from HBO when it came out in the nineties. We watch it every December, with It's a Wonderful Life and Home Alone. Even though the lanquage is kind of rough, it is full of laughs, and tears and a great ending. The best part about 29th Street is that it is an awesome, true story.

29th Street is a sweet movie that is great to watch during the holidays since so much of it is set at Christmas time and it has a nice message. If it wasn't for the very raw language this could almost be a family film but then if the language was cleaned up it would not be a realistic story of this man and his life. This is one of the handful of movies where the real life hero plays a smaller part in the film (in this case Frank plays his policeman brother). The characters argue, curse and shout but their love for each other shines through painting an endearing picture of blue collar New Yorkers in the 1970's. A film that deserves to be more well known than it is.

Watched this movie last night and loved it. Great movie about a down to earth Italian family living in New York. laughed all the way through it. Does have a little "swear words" in it but comparied to TV nowdays It's nothing, besides you are laughing so much you hardly notice. Rent or buy. great movie.

This movie is your classic comedy / drama about the old time Italian families. Lots of yelling, laughing and arguing. The story is great and the casting is perfect. I just can't believe it took this long for this movie to come out on DVD. I'll actually be buying another copy in December to give as a gift.

I'm from Queens, New York too, as well as Brooklyn, and I really enjoyed this movie. I grew up near 21st Street, but never went to 29th Street, so I don't recognize any of the buildings. I wouldn't anyway, considering that the movie was shot in North Carolina.
One of the things I like best about this movie is the way the New York family relates to each other, the way they argue. It had me rolling. It reminded me of the way my wife got along with her father when he was alive. They were at each other constantly but they still loved each other.
You couldn't say anything to my father in law without getting into an argument. If you said the weather was hot, he'd jump at you "You're always complaining about the weather". If you said you just had a nice day he'd jump at you with "You never do anything". He was just like the family in this movie. He didn't mean any harm, but he just jumped all over everyone. The only thing it was safe to say to him was "How are you feeling?" Just say that, and shut up. You'll be fine.
This movie reminds me a bit of O. Henry. People make sacrifices for each other.
The one complaint I have is that it is absurd to offer only $10,000 for a lottery ticket that is a "finalist", with a 1 in 50 chance of earning six million dollars. Just do a little math. Divide six million dollars by 50 to see what the ticket is worth before the drawing. That's over $100,000. How can anyone have the nerve to just offer one tenth of what it's worth? And how can anyone be dumb enough to accept such a ripoff? Then again, maybe the six million is paid over a lifetime, and the present lump sum value would be a lot less. But still, $10,000 is chickenfeed when compared to a life-changing number like six million.
I wonder what in this movie is true and what is fiction.
