Amazon.com:
People use the word 'sleeper' loosely, but A Wedding for Bella (released to theaters as The Bread, My Sweet) truly fits the bill. This tiny-budgeted charmer had modest distribution, but managed to win over the audiences that stumbled across it. In order to please his beloved elders, an Italian-American (Scott Baio) plots to marry a woman (Kristin Minter) he doesn't even know, with much of the action set around the homey ethnic bakery he owns in Pittsburgh. Yes, it's all very Moonstruck, but without the star power or the glossy finish; in fact, the production values (and some of the acting) in this film are variable to the point of clumsy. But there's a warm, intimate mood here that's inextricable from the homemade style. And, in an image-changing turn, former kid star Scott Baio delivers a terrific, assured performance. It's the biggest surprise in a sweet movie. --Robert Horton
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Low production quality
The low production quality (camera work, sound quality, editing) was distracting. The story was full of stereotypes, exaggerations and inconsistencies. I wouldn't recommend unless you have a lot of time on your hands and you like saccharin sweet romances.
Rating:  - Low Budget movie - don't waste your time - not romantic!
I liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding so I thought this might be good after seeing other comments....this is no where near the quality of acting, filming, directing or anything else that I expected. It's low budget, the filming is what my 12 year old could do, with the camera going back and forth. I couldn't finish it.....it got worse and worse. Don't waste your time or your money. Believe me, it's a really bad movie.
Rating: - Of a life told in mere months' passing, of a wish granted and something about pistachios, and a wedding for Bella
Who would've thunk it, that Scott Baio had it in him to be so good? A WEDDING FOR BELLA features a Scott Baio who is ages removed from his TV heartthrob days of HAPPY DAYS and CHARLES IN CHARGE. Here, he plays Dominic Pyzola, a work-obsessed Italian-American holding down two contrasting gigs. By day, he's a merciless corporate executive, handling mergers and a cold-hearted ace at firing employees. Then he lets his hair down and toils at the biscotti bakery he runs jointly with his two brothers. The ... Read More
Rating:  - I Love Pittsburgh
If a friend from Pittsburgh, where I used to live, had not told me about this movie, I would have missed a real winner! It is sweet (without being cloying) AND bittersweet, loving, and tender....just wonderful. Every once in a while a movie like this comes along and gives me hope that more worthwhile movies will be made like this one - without violence, shooting, sex, foul language....just nice healthy films.
The acting was "spot on" and I loved seeing a bit of the city and the Strip District. ... Read More
Rating: - I LOVED This Movie!
Okay, so it ain't "Gone with the Wind", but what it is is a sweet, sad, funny, romantic, warm-hearted movie. The characters were entertaining, the plot was interesting, and Scott Baio proves that he is really a pretty darn good actor. I got a kick out of the older couple who play the Italian parents as they remind me of my own Greek relatives. Other reviewers are complaining saying that the Italian elders are a mere caricature of real people. Let me tell you, coming from an ethnic family...they are not too far ... Read More
