The next film in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center is the dramedy "Somewhere in Queens," directed by and starring Ray Romano. It will be screened Saturday and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
Leo Russo (Romano) lives a simple life in Queens, New York, with his wife Angela (Laurie Metcalf), their shy but talented son "Sticks" (Jacob Ward), and Leo's close-knit network of Italian-American relatives and neighborhood friends. Happy enough working at the family construction business alongside his father (Tony Lo Bianco) and younger brother (Sebastian Maniscalco), Leo lives each week for Sticks' high-school basketball games, never missing a chance to cheer on his only child as he rules the court as a star athlete. When the high-school senior gets a surprising and life-changing opportunity to play basketball in college, Leo jumps at the chance to provide a plan for his future, away from the family construction business. But when sudden heartbreak threatens to derail Sticks, Leo goes to unexpected lengths to keep his son on this new path.
R for language, some sexual material, "Somewhere in Queens" runs one hour, 47 minutes.
