Shiri Appleby is one of those actors who is so good and has such inherent charm that I can't believe she has been in almost nothing that wasn't TERRIBLE her whole career.
One of my favourite things to look out for in cheap movies is food, because for some reason I find it hilarious watching a family dinner scene where the set dresser has put down some plates of plain spaghetti, a big bowl of raw spinach masquerading as a salad in the middle of the table, and red wine that is obviously juice (Except for the kid, who always has a glass of milk. Because that's what kids drink at dinner.) It's right up there with costumes for Rich Lady characters, where the budget can't stretch beyond a thrift store satin suit from the 80's and strings of fake pearls. That pizza at the end, though....Holy damn, someone really just dumped some canned vegetables on that thing and said, "Good enough!"
Ooh, I'm gonna start looking at rich ladies in low budget movies! My thing I like to look at the costumes on kid characters in low budget flicks! They'll always be dressed slightly to the left of what appropriate for the situation, overdressed for a birthday party, underdressed for a wedding, wearing bright colors at a funeral, that kind of thing. I think the kid costumes often come out of people's attics.

As a New York/Brooklyn style pizza lover, those pizza were a sin against earth and god especially the last one.

I really enjoyed this review you killed it as always.
Really have to love how a big fire engulfs two buildings and our protagonists decide to save themselves by hiding in a tree like it’s fire retardant. Honestly, they’d have a better chance standing on the brick wall…
Actually the brick would get too hot to stand. At least the tree has water in it. I forget the reason, but I saw something about how brick building actually spread fire faster
@@msjkramey that’s not entirely true. While yes, a brick wall would eventually get too hot to stand on, wood doesn’t need to wait that long; the tree would collapse long before the wall got hot, due to the air pockets inside natural wood and tree foliage that can act as flammable debris. A brick wall (especially one that I’d assume passed inspection) wouldn’t have what fire needs to spread either up or out quickly. This has been Fire Talk.
@@C.V317 Thank you for Fire Talk! It was actually good to know; where I live, the main types of hardwood trees are Eucalyptus, Acacia, and Corymbia, so you obviously don't go anywhere near them in a fire on account of all the flammable oils and resins. But it's nice to know for sure that normal, doesn't-actively-want-to-be-on-fire trees are also not a safe bet in fire situations.
@@C.V317 What are y'all smoking?! Aside from trees with flammable sap, have you ever tried burning fresh wood? It's hard as heck to light! But like, none of that matters.

What they really wanted tho, was the throwback to being nice to the tree and it being nice to them.
@@freshrot420 while you raise a fair point about the smoke inhalation killing them before the fire does, I will argue that an isolated tree literally surrounded by buildings and debris on fire would not take so long to catch fire. How long it took would depend on the type of tree, but it isn’t longer than a brick wall; the tree will collapse before the wall would. Most likely, the leaves would catch fire first (which is also a reason a tree is not a place to go to when there’s a fire), and the branches would collapse before the trunk, it would still be a giant bit of wood surrounded in flames. I can’t believe I have to explain, in the comments section of a video about a cheap film, that wood is combustible.
LOL I had not yet seen this comment when I wrote mine, which is like I took yours and put it thru a thesaurus! 42 years myself, and those pizzas effing hurt to look at.
That "You know what's complicated?" bit is gonna stay in my brain for a hot minute! I could watch you riff on pretty much any piece of media, but this one was particularly good.
Omg that guy looks like Chris Evans in Not Another Teen Movie and I couldn't concentrate on anything else hahaha. Fun video! I thought of little Italy when I heard the premise as well.
The biggest crime of that pizza monstrosity towards the end is it looks *severely* undercooked. That thing probably could've benefitted from Nicky burning it 🤣 In regards to suggestions for videos, I'm unfortunately not too familiar with many made-for-TV movies besides maybe Where the Heart Is? That was played *constantly* in my household growing up, my mom was obsessed with "feel-good" stuff like that
This film can't be all bad, it has got Tony Amendola in it; the budget F. Murray Abraham. He's always a treat. What a great review is this; so many solid laughs.
For some reason the sister tasting the sauce off the shirt has lived in my head since I saw this when it aired and I am grateful? to finally relearn the name of the film. You're the best Roses!
My take is that I think the choice for the leads’ names was very clever. They’re not obviously derivative of “Romeo” and “Juliet” while still clearly being so, and I just appreciate that they clearly thought about it for more than two seconds.
Fun fact, “Montebello” literally means “beautiful/nice mount” and it’s a common toponym. For example it’s also the name of one of the castles in my home town XD
A) you mean Cher’s dad ?? B) I’m shocked at how many *that guy who was in that thing* there are in this movie. I recognize nearly everyone! Can’t name a one.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers this. Pre-teen me loved this. And it's weird that this niche cheesy Romeo and Juliet but with pizza was one of the films that gave my pre-teen self clues that I'm bi (I watched it for Shiri Appleby because I didn't know I had a crush on her and ended up having a crush on the male lead as well).
If you wanna cover a fantastically insane Christmas movie look up Karroll's Christmas. The ghosts accidentally haunt the wrong person in a wacky Christmas Carol romantic comedy. It has Verne Troyer, Wallace Shawn, Tom Everett Scott. And... It managed to make me cry.
So happy to know that someone else remembers and likes the movie Pizza My Heart! 🍕 ❤ Loved seeing Shiri Appleby from tv show Roswell and Nick Spano from Even Stevens. Used to love watching the old ABC Family movies. 8:13 "You know what's complicated..."😂
Hi, I'm rewatching Murder She Wrote thanks to your series. I think you should tackle a rare two-parter on Season 12's episode 6 and 7 - Nan's Ghost. The logical Jessica doesn't believe in ghosts as she attends the funeral of a friend's daughter - indecently the daughter was found because her ghost led him to her. It is set in Ireland, and the cliff-hanger put Jessica in real danger! Love your reviews!
I'm choosing to believe that Tony Amendola's character in this is also Father Perez from the 1st Annabelle movie. A demon gave him eternal life and he has to move around the country to keep people off his trail.
From the title I thought this was gonna be about that Little Italy movie Drew Gooden talked about so the fact that it’s apparently about something completely different, judging from the comments, is deeply intriguing to me
I'm not surprised there was a lot of tension in those families trying to base their identities around those terrible pizzas. I don't think those things would pay anyone's bills. I'd be less concerned about my children's love life and more worried that my life was based around trying to sell something a rung above hot garbage
Pizza My Heart could also be the title of a horror movie where the killer puts ripped out hearts on pizzas. Like the one in My Bloody Valentine. (Only in pizza boxes instead of heart-shaped boxes of chocolates). Might have been more exciting... Now I'm in the mood for pizza. 🍕
When I saw the guy who played the priest, I was like "Hey, it's that guy" but couldn't actually name anything he's in. So I looked up his IMDB and yeah, he's one of those actors who's done a bunch of single episodes of tv shows. Including a priest on Will & Grace and a clergyman on Columbo, so I guess people like casting him in that role.
“You know what’s complicated?” - Judaism - Learning medicine - Physics - Math - Getting a cat to take its medicine - The Israeli Palestinian conflict - Ryan Reynolds’ career - Deadpool’s origins - History according to the Happy Science cult
"If you have any suggestions for a weird made-for-TV movie, post it in the comments." I'll throw The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1980), with Jeff Goldblum as Ichabod Crane, into the suggestion hat. Or Disney's The 100 Lives of Black Jack Savage (1991).
4:50 Yeah. Yeah, apparently you can. My dad did the same thing to me. Even drove me to the interview and I was mortified. It wasn't even a job in my field 🤦♀
I don't think it's a made for tv film, but look into Blood Car. Yes, it's a horror, but it is creepy in how relevant it can be. Also, contains the best quotes that you will ever hear.
Would Mystic Pizza be included in this category? It's not Romeo and Juliette plot based, but it and Little Italy are directed by the same man. Clearly, he has a type.
You should watch and review Winter Kill, a murder mystery set in a ski resort. Stars Andy Griffith, made in 1974. Haven't seen it in years but remember it being really good if weird
I imagine the reason this movie is so forgotten is because the actual "Pizza My Heart" restaurant chain always tops search results.....and now I miss their pizza. There's none around me where I live.
Just as “Romeo and Juliet but with pizza” is a genre unto itself, “films about food where the food looks absolutely terrible” seems like it’s probably one as well. (See also “films about music in which no-one in the entire production team has ever held an instrument before”.)
Regarding the getting someone else an interview...back in the early 00's, yes you could! In fact it's how i got my first job, i was at sixth form (basically free extended education for people too poor for uni so my mum could keep getting parental cash from my dad...anyway) My sister was working at a printing studio and basically got me an interview and the job (i had NO CV and she didn't have any of my grades, just "he is my brother" and "cool we'll give him a job") I worked there for 6 years. Not the best paying job but one of the best bosses i ever had! Family run firm that always looked out for my sister and unfortunately closed in 2008.
I don't normally like to watch videos more than once, but I can watch yours over and over. They're so fun and charming! Some of these movies and shows I would never want to watch (with the obvious exceptions of Murder She Wrote and the Golden Girls). But I have bought a few video games because of you. Thanks for watching these movies so we don't have to!
The title of this movie is super weird because there is a local pizza chain called Pizza My Heart and it is freaking delicious. Like they actually use fresh real products rather than frozen things that are distributed across the nation like Domino's. Also my heart sank when I saw Anakin Skywalker in a terrible pizza based romcom
I thought I was the only one that remembered this movie. Now you have to do Campus Confidential, which was another ABC Family movie I think, and my bingo card for "random things I remember that normal people do not, but RUclipsrs do videos on" will be complete. LOL!
I feel like George’s Island (from 1989) would fit the vibe of your channel perfectly. A kids’ movie about ghosts and pirate treasure with an antagonistic teacher named, I kid you not, Miss Cloaca Birdwood.
That pizza at the end hurts my heart and soul, as well as the hearts and souls of all my family. What was that? Spinach and artichoke dip? Did they try making a Margarita pizza, ran out of sliced tomatoes, took the single most inept person in the whole shop, threw a blindfold on 'em, sat them in front of the veg topping station and said, "Create!"
had no idea there were multiple pizza-centric romeo and juliet parody movies until this video, i went in thinking it was going to be about 'a slice of chicago romance' and it might as well have been since beat for beat they're almost the same movie lmao
Check out The Halloween That Almost Wasn't, it's on youtube. I remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was awesome. This was late 70's or early 80's.
It's only been 11 hours since PUR posted this, but it feels like.... ONE WEEK!! More please and thank you, with a suggestion of the bonkers Halloween episode of Punky Brewster!
If they were going to mention Verona so much they should have at least filmed it there! I knew Gina looked familiar, she's the girl from Roswell!! Loved that show.
I saw this movie a long time and also stumbled upon Little Italy. I had the same thought that the storyline was ripped off. The plots are soooo similar I absolutely think one influenced the other.
Yeah it seems like the writer of little Italy saw this movie as a kid and forgot about it and thought they came up with the idea...or they just straight up ripped it off, hard to say
This is so wild. I am very glad to have watched your review instead of watching the movie itself, it feels exactly like the sort of thing I would have found in the kids media library at the hospital when I was young. XD
D-did they just surround the edge with full slices of tomato and then just dumped two cups each of Brussel sprouts and olives?! 😂 the moment they pick up a slice all the topings are gone. A good pizza maker knows you avoid making the tip of the slice (middle of pie) heavy. For shame! Still looks like a lovely goofy movie. Will definitely check it out
As a New Jersey native, I can say that there are usually at least 4 or 5 pizza shops in each town. Verona only having 2 pizza shops is absolutely nuts.
I can't believe "Romeo and Juliet, but with pizza" almost has enough movies to be its own genre.
Considering that the original took place in Italy, I'm surprised that this doesn't happen more often.

Which doesn't work with pizza, at least not like _that._
What makes it funnier is that I looked up the location and Verona NJ is only 20 minutes from New York. The pizza definitely shouldn't look like that.

The title of this movie is super weird because there is a local pizza chain called Pizza My Heart and it is freaking delicious. Like they actually use fresh real products rather than frozen things that are distributed across the nation like Domino's. Also my heart sank when I saw Anakin Skywalker in a terrible pizza based romcom
Yknow I just started watching your videos again, and you're comedic timing is incredible. Good work.
I had no idea that "Romeo and Juliet, with Pizza", even existed, but now my curiosity is piqued enough to check it out! 🍕😋😉
@Trina Q Check out Little Italy, basically the same movie, but set in Toronto and with Emma Roberts and Hayden Christensen!
Agreed, Roses. A date that involves being hand-fed pizza does sound pretty perfect. Loved the riffing on what's complicated.
I am down for more 'Made for TV pizza movies'. Maybe next time will be a pizza that looks edible...
Two feuding families being neighbours for centuries sounds like a plot straight out of the *CALZONE ZONE*
"the CalZone" was right there, man
But were they low-calorie?
@@limejetThe Palzone is what I would've riffed.
I thought I was the only one that remembered this movie. Now you have to do Campus Confidential, which was another ABC Family movie I think, and my bingo card for "random things I remember that normal people do not, but RUclipsrs do videos on" will be complete. LOL!
I feel like George’s Island (from 1989) would fit the vibe of your channel perfectly. A kids’ movie about ghosts and pirate treasure with an antagonistic teacher named, I kid you not, Miss Cloaca Birdwood.
15:21 The very moment I was compelled to smash the "like" button until it turned to dust. 😆
"bring that to Chicago and see what happens" nearly took me out. I was mid chew. Who d I contact about a near murder😂?
That pizza at the end hurts my heart and soul, as well as the hearts and souls of all my family.
What was that? Spinach and artichoke dip? Did they try making a Margarita pizza, ran out of sliced tomatoes, took the single most inept person in the whole shop, threw a blindfold on 'em, sat them in front of the veg topping station and said, "Create!"
had no idea there were multiple pizza-centric romeo and juliet parody movies until this video, i went in thinking it was going to be about 'a slice of chicago romance' and it might as well have been since beat for beat they're almost the same movie lmao
Speaking of tv movies, I saw it mentioned in one of your earlier videos but I'd really like to see you talk about Holidays in Handcuffs.
My favorite Holiday film!!! My Christmas tradition. But I love it so, I'm afraid Roses might be too sarcastic about it
love PUR cheerfully referencing a drew gooden video and being from chicago in less than a minute, truly a direct pipeline to my heart
I needed this today. I love your choice of movies and listening to you riff on them is a treat.
Check out The Halloween That Almost Wasn't, it's on youtube. I remember watching it as a kid and thinking it was awesome. This was late 70's or early 80's.
It's only been 11 hours since PUR posted this, but it feels like....
ONE WEEK!!
More please and thank you, with a suggestion of the bonkers Halloween episode of Punky Brewster!
Super fun! Thank you for reviewing this, brightened my day.
Love your humor, the "no notes" always brings a chuckle 😄
Thank you for producing this.
If they were going to mention Verona so much they should have at least filmed it there! I knew Gina looked familiar, she's the girl from Roswell!! Loved that show.
Your channel is one of my absolute favorites on all of RUclips. Love the mix of old shoes I loved, and …whatever this is 😂
Pushing Up Roses is one of the most consistently funny channels on RUclips.
I saw this movie a long time and also stumbled upon Little Italy. I had the same thought that the storyline was ripped off. The plots are soooo similar I absolutely think one influenced the other.
Yeah it seems like the writer of little Italy saw this movie as a kid and forgot about it and thought they came up with the idea...or they just straight up ripped it off, hard to say
I was not expecting the town I live in to be in this video
This is so wild. I am very glad to have watched your review instead of watching the movie itself, it feels exactly like the sort of thing I would have found in the kids media library at the hospital when I was young. XD
Yay you uploaded again I am so happy. Can we have a burger my heart, please, directors and producers.
[Gordon Cole voice] ANNETTE, YOU REMIND ME TODAY OF A SMALL, MEXICAN CHI-WOW-WOW.
D-did they just surround the edge with full slices of tomato and then just dumped two cups each of Brussel sprouts and olives?! 😂 the moment they pick up a slice all the topings are gone.
A good pizza maker knows you avoid making the tip of the slice (middle of pie) heavy. For shame!
Still looks like a lovely goofy movie. Will definitely check it out
As a New Jersey native, I can say that there are usually at least 4 or 5 pizza shops in each town. Verona only having 2 pizza shops is absolutely nuts.
Venice? Versailles? Victoria? Velencia? I just cannot remember the setting for this...
I would LOVE to see your take on the 1994 HBO movie "Witch Hunt" with Dennis Hopper. It's film Noir McCarthism with witches.
Another fabulous video, Roses! And your hair looks gorgeous too! Thanks for your hard work!
I was trying to find something to watch, so excited to see you had a new video
Montebello is an actual place close to Verona, Italy btw 😅 translates to pretty mountain
Roses, you need to review everything! Great job (as always, but especially)!
Your voice is easy to listen to and your commentary is hilarious
The 90s and 00s had some absolutely bonkers ROM COMS
I KNEW I recognized that director's name. Andy Wolk directed the infamous Christmas Shoes TV movie.
That fact that there is more then one movie that is just "Romeo and Juliet but Pizza" is hilarious.
