Movie Review
Grade: B-
Romance and Cigarettes, written and directed by John Turturro, is a musical starring none other than Tony Soprano himself, James Gandolfini. You might not think of Gandolfini as the best pick to lead a musical comedy, but that is exactly what makes the movie work. Romance and Cigarettes looks and feels cheap, but somehow that plays to the film's advantage.
