Buddy Visalo (Michael Rispoli) is a factory worker, a frustrated crooner who once had a shot at the big time. Buddy's dreams of greatness have been reduced to an endless series of failed moneymaking schemes. His latest is buying a two-family house for him and his wife, Estelle (Katherine Narducci) and converting the ground floor into a neighborhood bar where he can perform. The wrench in the works is that he also inherits the upstairs tenants, Mary,a pregnant Irish girl fresh off the boat (Kelly Macdonald) and her abusive, alcoholic husband, Jim (Kevin Conway). As Buddy's gang of Italians tries to handle the situation, the girl goes into labor, and a baby is born, forcing them all to confront the limits of their tolerance and compassion. TWO FAMILY HOUSE is a tale of a long forgotten life whose small acts of heroism add up to greatness. The film was cast by Sheila Jaffe & Georgianne Walken, who won an Emmy this past year for their work on HBO's "THE SOPRANOS", and features a number of actors from the acclaimed hit series (Michael Rispoli ("Jackie Aprile"), Katherine Narduccy ("Charmaine Bucco"), Vinnie Pastore ("Big Pussy") and others). The film's soundtrack features the music of the celebrated John Pizzarelli Trio, featuring the cool jazz singing of John Pizzarelli. Son of jazz guitar great Bucky Pizzarelli, John has released 15 albums featuring classic American standards and ballads infused with sublime style and brilliant guitar playing of his own.
