Young Anthony Soprano is growing up in one of the most tumultuous eras in Newark, N.J., history, becoming a man just as rival gangsters start to rise up and challenge the all-powerful DiMeo crime family. Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, whose influence over his nephew will help shape the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss, Tony Soprano.
This movie would have been a million times better as a miniseries. It honestly didn't work as a movie. Like at all. You got introduced to younger versions of all the character you had come to know on the show but I didn't really see the whole development of Tony Soprano. The movie was much more about Dickie Moltisanti and the only character that I felt like I saw any development of was Junior.
I'd still recommend people checking it out because it is not a bad watch. Just really didn't work as a movie and could have worked a lot better as a miniseries.
