Plot
The story centers around a traditional Italian-American family and four daughters, each of whom have completely different personalities. Danni, the first of the sisters who will walk down the aisle, is a demure virgin who longs to stay close to home and her parents. Niki, Toni and Chrissy return home for the long overdue family reunion, which ultimately turns into a contest of who can one-up the other. Niki, a TV actress, brings along her manager boyfriend, the lesbian Toni is accompanied by her biker girlfriend Amy, and Chrissy, a Wall Street stockbroker who is too busy for a boyfriend, brings her brand new Porsche. The sisters, who subconsciously long for the approval and love of their domineering father, renew old familial wounds as they bring up feelings of overachievement and insecurity. ==Cast==

Reception
Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote the film feels "less a celebration of warm, touchy-feely Italian culture than an unoriginal putdown of contemporary American (read New York/Hollywood) mores". ==References==
