Synopsis
Compromessi sposi (2019) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Francesco Miccichè. A fashion blogger from the South and an aspiring songwriter from the North fall for each other on sight and decide to marry overnight. The kids agree on everything. Their fathers agree on nothing.
Gaetano is a buttoned-up mayor from a southern town, obsessed with appearances. Diego is a wealthy northern entrepreneur who solves problems with his wallet. The moment the two prospective in-laws meet, it's loathing at first sight — and they strike the only bargain in the whole film: stop this wedding by any means necessary. Schemes, sabotage and two eccentric families all pile in. The couple holds firm, but the fathers' feud grows so ugly that the vows themselves start to wobble.
The film mines Italy's old North-versus-South rivalry for laughs — accents, tempers and rival kitchens included. Vincenzo Salemme and Diego Abatantuono carry the bickering with ease. It's an easy night-in watch for anyone who enjoys loud family comedies with nothing hidden underneath. Stream Compromessi sposi (2019) online on iFILM.
