City Island

I rented this from Lovefilm.  It stars Andy Garcia as a prison officer who comes across in prison a son he he abandoned before he was born.  Garcia lives on City Island, an ex fishing village that is part of the Bronx, and as part of his son's bail conditions he comes to live in his father's house (though he doesn't know the full story).  The rest of the family (wife, daughter, son) also don't know the story, and all have secrets of their own.  Quite an amusing comedy, but not 100% absorbing.  Emily Mortimer stars as a friend from an acting class attended on the sly by Garcia.
