In the movie Kiss Me, Guido, directed by Tony Vitale, the audience follows the life of a young man named Warren (Nick Scotti) who dreams of becoming an actor. He leaves his home in New Jersey and moves to Manhattan to follow his dream. However, he soon finds out that making it in the entertainment industry is not as easy as he thought.

Warren is a romantic and has a wild imagination. He is attracted to men but has not come out of the closet. One day, while looking for an apartment, Warren accidentally ends up renting a room in an apartment in Manhattan that he believes is perfect for him. He believes his new roommate is a woman named Debbie (Alyssa Milano), but instead, he finds himself living with a straight, Italian-American man named Frankie (Anthony Barrile).

Frankie is a bit of a stereotypical Italian-American, with a goatee, thick accent, and an interest in rugby. He is a bit rough around the edges, but soon he and Warren become friends. Warren is attracted to him, but he knows Frankie is straight, so they bond over their shared love of movies, music, and sports.

As Warren tries to find acting work, he becomes involved in the local gay scene in Manhattan. He goes to parties and meets interesting people. He also falls in love with a Latino man named Tommaso (Guillermo Diaz).

Meanwhile, Frankie is being pressured to get married by his conservative Italian-American family. They introduce him to a young woman named Patti (Tina Caspary), but Frankie is not interested in her. He is confused about his feelings for Warren, and he starts to question his sexuality.

Warren and Frankie's relationship becomes complicated when they accidentally audition for the same role in a play. They both want the part and start to compete for it. Their rivalry escalates, and they start to argue and fight with each other. However, they soon realize that they are attracted to each other and share a kiss.

The rest of the movie sees Warren and Frankie trying to navigate their feelings for each other while dealing with the expectations of their families and society. They face various obstacles, including homophobia and prejudice, but they are determined to be together.

Kiss Me, Guido is a charming romantic comedy that deals with serious themes in a lighthearted way. It is a movie about self-discovery, acceptance, and love. The performances of the actors are excellent, with Nick Scotti and Anthony Barrile having great chemistry on screen. The movie deconstructs stereotypes about Italian-American culture and the LGBTQ+ community, showing that people from all walks of life can find love and acceptance.

Overall, Kiss Me, Guido is a heartwarming and entertaining movie that will make you laugh, cry, and think. It is a great representation of the LGBTQ+ community and a must-watch for anyone interested in romantic comedies.
