Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna's Love Is All There Is is an insult to Italian-Americans. This over-the-top romantic comedy imitates Romeo and Juliet, retelling the familiar tale of two New York City Island teenagers (Angelina Jolie, Nathaniel Marston) who fall in love, despite their feuding Northern and Southern Italian families. The filmmakers treat their characters' ethnicity as a joke, using garish, overplayed derogatory stereotypes to generate laughs. A must miss. (L. Russo)
