Mighty Fine
Set in the 1970's, MIGHTY FINE is the story of Joe Fine (Chazz Palminteri) a charismatic, high-spirited man, who relocates his family--wife Stella (Andie MacDowell), a Holocaust survivor, daughters Nathalie (Jodelle Ferland) and Maddie (Rainey Qualley)--from Brooklyn to New Orleans, in search of a better life. Unfortunately, Joe's spending spree is wildly out of touch with reality, as his apparel business is teetering on the brink of collapse, a fact he refuses to accept. Written and directed by Debbie Goodstein, MIGHTY FINE is told from the perspective of an adult Nathalie remembering the events of her youth, and is inspired by Goodstein's memories of her own father. MIGHTY FINE ultimately shows how coming to terms with the past without judgment is the most fruitful way to move toward the future.

Load of rubbish!!
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
We saw "Mighty Fine" today, and at the risk of sounding cliché – we laughed, we cried. Writer/director Debbie Goodstein touched on societal problems such as racism, sexism, the recession and outsourcing and the impact they have in impeding a family's ability to heal and break dysfunctional habits. Yet Ms. Goodstein focused primarily on emotional abuse, keeping the plot from being overly ambitious. We loved the casting, the use of photos and super 8 family films, the narration, the music, the '70s costumes and the acting. Chazz Palminteri was amazing and we loved that the ending wasn't a typical Hollywood ending. Rainey Qualle, Andie Mac Dowell's daughter definitely exceeded our expectations in her debut. One of the most heartfelt scenes was her interaction with her dad (Palminteri) after he humiliated her in front of the new friends she was forced to make after he abruptly uprooted the family. We ranged in age from 13 to 70 and the film appealed to all ages. We're mighty glad we saw this film.
I watched this movie as part of a special preview group of moms through MomCentral, and I was struck at how dark and dramatic it was. I was expecting something lighter (as it was being screened to a group of moms) but was thrilled that it wasn't some 'feel good' movie. I prefer darker, intense movies and this delivered.If you like indie movies that are edgy and dramatic - I think you'll enjoy this.The plot centers around a family who appears perfect on the surface but is hiding a dark secret - I don't want to go into any more detail. But it's a great movie, although i wouldn't show it to my kids!
I recently watched an earlier premiere of Mighty Fine courtesy of Mom Central Consulting. Many of us were able to enjoy a chat while watching the movie as well as a Q&A with the film's actors after wards.Mighty Fine follows a family on the move from Brooklyn to their new home in New Orleans. Joe Fine, played by Chazz Palminteri, is eager to impress his uprooted family with a fine home and extravagant gifts, but when a his business venture and subsequent financial choices take a turn for the worse.Will Joe's wife, played by Andie MacDowell, find the courage do what is needed? Who was my favorite character? I'd have to say Maddie Fine, played by Rainey Qualley. Why? Because she was strong as best as she could be and doesn't back down easily.Mighty Fine premieres in theaters on May 25th. Since it is only showing in select theaters, please check to see if there is a theater near you.***I participated in a campaign via my site Momma Young at Home on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Mighty Fine and the distributor. I received access to an online showing of the film and a promotional item to thank me for participating.***Like any truthful film it is a hard pill to swallow, but still a great story.
The Mighty Fine red carpet blogger movie premiere and Q&A session afterward with Chazz Palminteri and Jodelle Ferland was amazing!Most of the time I watch movies to escape or just enjoy the moment but Mighty Fine goes in a completely different direction. Set in the 1970's helps viewers remember their childhood, complete with an 8 track player and disco ballUnfortunately family life is not ideal and soon the viewer witnesses the inner workings of a man unraveling from his rage. Anyone who has ever been through an abusive situation will understand the movie in an all too familiar way.Everyone has a role to play and it may be very uncomfortable for you to recognize the rebel, the poet, the enabler, or even the ticking time bomb. What is important is that you recognize it.Every adult should see Mighty Fine. This movie is for the ones who have been through it, the ones who cause it, and the ones who have no understanding of it. Mighty Fine will open your eyes.
