What Parents Need to Know
About Big Night
Parents need to know that Secondo cheats on his girlfriend and lies to his brother. Pascal curses all the time (but it's clearly part of his schmoozing, insincere personality), lies, and manipulates. Many characters drink, and Phyllis drinks to the point of vomiting. Primo and Secondo fight with each other. Some strong language.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the brothers take care of each other and also pursue their own dreams. Which brother do you most identify with and how would you have handled a similar situation? Families can also talk about their own family history of moving to the U.S. How did the family deal with the struggle between assimilating (as Segundi does) and keeping traditional values (like Primo)?
