When prison guard and aspiring actor, Vince Rizzo (Andy Garcia) is asked to reveal his biggest secret during his drama class, he inadvertently sets off a chain of events that turns his mundane suburban life into total chaos. Vince takes great pains covering up his half-truths from his family, but soon it becomes clear that everyone-his hot-tempered wife (Julianna Margulies), college student daughter (Dominik García-Lorido), long-lost ex-con son (Steven Strait), charismatic acting partner (Emily Mortimer) and even his drama coach (Alan Arkin) - all have secrets of their own. Everyone's furtive deceptions collide with hilarious results. Set on City Island, a quaint fishing community on the outskirts of the Bronx, this smart and charming comedy explores the absurd secrets and vices people choose to keep from their loved ones...and the realization that the truth is easier to cope with than well-intentioned white lies.
City Island is a funny and touching family tale about the secrets of the past catching up with the lies of the present, and accepting that nobody's perfect - least of all your loved ones.
Special Features:
- Audio Commentary with Writer/Producer/Director Raymond De Felitta and Producer/Actor Andy Garcia
- "Dinner With The Rizzos" Featurette
- Deleted Scenes
- Theatrical Trailer

I really want to win... City Island looks great and I really want to see it, and for some reason society thinks repaying student loans is more important than buying dvds... plus, i mean, free Netflix? Amazing. I'll be happy and the environment will be, too!

These prizes must be mine, not only because I am from the real City Island, but I have followed the production of this movie every day from day one back in July 2008 to its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 09 and its subsequent releases all around the world. Read any news report, and watched any video about it on the internet and every talk show where the stars promoted the movie. I even did my final project in my Public Relations course on the film and the promotion of it... and went as far as to email with the director about it. So I think I like the movie just a little bit.
... oh, and Netflix is awesome.
