He does both in debut feature \u201cSomewhere in Queens,\u201d in which Romano plays a working-class family man whose son may or may not be going to college on a basketball scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that Sticks (Jacob Ward) stands 6\u20192\u2033 and is his team\u2019s star player, the idea of a scholarship never occurs to anyone until a recruiter happens to see him in action. It\u2019s been a foregone conclusion for years that Sticks will join the family construction business that his father, uncle and grandfather are all part of. Leo (Romano) is lower in the pecking order than both of them, so he\u2019s initially inclined to agree when they say that college is pointless \u2014 Sticks is just going to end up working for them anyway, so why delay the inevitable by four years? The only one who truly disagrees is the boy\u2019s free-spirited girlfriend (Sadie Stanley), whom his mother didn\u2019t know existed until recently.<\/p>\n<p>As Sticks\u2019 mom, Laurie Metcalf plays a cancer survivor named Angela who wants as much time with her son as she can possibly get. She knows better than anyone that it isn\u2019t assured. She\u2019s great in the role (when is she not?), showing how the exhaustion of running a household is far from mutually exclusive with unconditional love for everyone in it. She\u2019s wary of Sticks\u2019 new flame \u2014 but to be fair, she\u2019d likely be wary of any girl who\u2019d dare take an interest in her only child. She\u2019s just that kind of mother, and while it might be frustrating for Sticks, it\u2019s frequently amusing for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomewhere in Queens\u201d is a low-stakes slice of life for much of its runtime, with most of the actual conflict stemming from a questionable decision Leo makes to ensure his son\u2019s success. That doesn\u2019t necessarily make it feel slight, however, as the film is such an affectionate love letter to the Italian American families who populate the eponymous borough that you don\u2019t mind simply sharing the dinner table with them. The exaggerated mannerisms and verbal sparring aren\u2019t exactly new territory for Romano, but he proves as comfortable behind the camera as he is in front of it. (In addition to directing and starring, he also produced and co-wrote the script with his former \u201cMen of a Certain Age\u201d writer Mark Stegemann.)<\/p>\n<p>As in his other roles, much of Romano\u2019s gravitas comes from his voice. Somewhere between Muppet and sad-sack, it masks Leo\u2019s pain without fully hiding it. (It also makes lines like \u201cI heard it\u2019s bad for the earth when they fart, the cows\u201d and \u201cThe heart goes wherever it wants; it\u2019s like a coyote\u201d considerably funnier than they would be if delivered by someone else.)<\/p>\n<p>Angela\u2019s affectionate assessment of her husband as being \u201cso fucking stupid sometimes\u201d isn\u2019t inaccurate, but it\u2019s also not the whole story \u2014 she can\u2019t help saying it with love in her voice. Leo may not have gone as far in life as he would have wanted to, and his efforts to help his son achieve more than he has are shaky at best. But he\u2019s trying his damndest, so we can\u2019t help but gravitate toward him the same way his family does.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
