    Music may be the food of love, but a group of gangsters are singing a very different tune at a fancy New York dining room in this dark comedy. Louis (Danny Aiello) is the owner of an upscale restaurant in New York's Tribeca district where his son Udo (Edoardo Ballerini) has become the head chef. Udo's exotic recipes have made the restaurant the talk of the town and very profitable as well, though Louis confesses that he can't stand Udo's cooking. Louis has another son, Duncan (Kirk Acevedo), who runs with a bad crowd; Louis finds out just how bad they are one night when they stop by to dine, with Duncan in tow, informing Louis that his son owes them quite a bit of money and they aren't leaving until they're given part ownership of the restaurant -- or else someone will be killed. Dinner Rush was directed by Bob Giraldi, a noted director of commercials and music videos who also enjoyed success as a restaurateur. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

    January 22, 2003: This movie is a darkly comical look at family loyalty and the restaurant business. It revolves around one fateful night in the life of Udo, Duncan, and their father, the owner of the restaurant. Besides the serious main plot involving the mafia and Udo's desire to become an owner, there are a couple funny subplots, one involving the bartender and a customer, and another dealing with a waitress and a pretentious customer. In the end it all comes together with a twist. This is an excellent film if you are Italian, love food, and/or like mafia movies.
