While on the surface Doughboys might not seem like anything new, it struck a nice chord as the kind of indy film that isn't made any more. Featuring strong writing, a solid cast, and interesting visuals this film really manages to separate itself from the pack. From what I understand this movie came out on the festival circuit and then it came straight to DVD. It's a shame because a movie like this could easily have built word of mouth and probably made $10 or $15 million domestically. This is the kind of film that has "Audience Favorite" written all over it. It reminded me of Big Night meets Goodfellas. However, just because the movie was set in New York and featured a largely Italian cast, that doesn't mean that the characters were one dimensional or even familiar. What I liked the most was seeing the interplay of all the characters in the shop, and then seeing how everything came full circle throughout the story. While not one of those releases that is going to get the sort of push it deserves, Doughboys is the kind of film that will hopefully be appreciated on DVD. Sorry, no extras on this release. They couldn't do a commentary? Or a making of? I heard this Evan Jacobs writer guy is quite the character!Read full review
What I liked about it was that it was filmed in the old neighborhood I grew up in and I knew about 3 people in the movie. The dialogue was funny and very altruistic to life in Da Bronx. The acting on the smaller part actors could have been a bit better. It was apparent that it was a low budget film. Good story line and a bunch of laughs at life in Da Bronx. It was OK.
this movie is set in the italian neighborhood of brooklyn with many interesting characters.it was funny at times and held my interest throughout its under an hour and a half like 82 minutes or something.
