Made in Italy: Everything you should know before you watch the Netflix comedy-drama

Made in Italy is one of Liam Neeson's most underrated pieces of work, so people are only catching up to the movie now. The film was released in 2020, during peak COVID in the United States. So, it naturally bombed at the box office due to pandemic protocols. But it fared well on other platforms such as AppleTV and iTunes Store, where it became one of the most rented movies ever.

The movie tells the story of an estranged father-son duo who finally find their way back to one another. It stars Liam Neeson, who plays Robert Foster, in the lead. His real-life son Micheál Richardson plays Jack Foster, Robert's son.

The movie was recently added to Netflix and has been the talk of the town ever since. It has garnered widespread criticism from critics as well as audiences.
