Maria, ihm schmeckt's nicht (2009)

This is a german movie.The title meaning is "Maria, he doesn't like it (the food)" and it is a very common phrase that a Mediterranean to-be-mother-in-law would say to her daughter about her foreign husband-to-be if the last made a weird face to her food. To give a picture of what happens in the movie, it seems similar to "My big fat Greek wedding", only now the countries, of which the cultural differences are put on the table, are Italy (in fact Southern Italy, if I may say so) and Germany. Another difference is that these differences are not reported in such a comic way to the end, but from a specific point it gets bitter from both sides. In any case, if you are into such movies and you understand a little bit from these different cultures, you are into having a not so bad time watching the film.
