Angie Scacciapensieri is an office worker who lives in theBensonhurst section ofBrooklyn, New York and dreams of a better life. After learning that she is pregnant by her boyfriend Vinnie, she decides that she will have the baby, but not Vinnie as a husband.
This turns the entire neighborhood upside down and starts her on a journey of self-discovery, including a love affair with a man named Noel who she meets at an art museum. Even her best friend Tina has trouble understanding her.
20th Century Fox films headJoe Roth, production presidentRoger Birnbaum and producer Larry Brezner hadAngie, I Says under development. Todd Graff had written the screenplay forMadonna. The adaptation was placed into turnaround. Roth and Birnbaum had left for an independent label at Disney,Caravan Pictures, and were able to get the adaptation moved there from Fox. Because of scheduling conflicts with her role inAbel Ferrara's movieDangerous Game, which is also produced by her company,Maverick, she dropped out of the thenJonathan Kaplan-directed film. Madonna had wanted them to push back production on the film, but given that it was a winter story, Caravan wanted to film it in winter, then debut it in winter. She bowed out as they also took issue with her lack of acting experience. The lead role was then offered toGeena Davis.[1]
The film opened to mixed reviews and was abox-office bomb. OnRotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 53% from 19 critics.[2] Audiences surveyed byCinemaScore gave the film a grade of "B" on scale of A+ to F.[3]
