DVD Review: Fine Cast Adds Substance to Contrived ‘City Island’
Submitted by mattmovieman on September 1, 2010 - 7:39amCHICAGO – There are many reasons why “City Island” shouldn’t work. It’s entirely contrived, from one end of the script to the other.

Yet what works in a 23-minute TV sketch often becomes tedious and exasperating when stretched to feature length.
