Nonnas is a 2025 American comedy film directed by Stephen Chbosky, starring Vince Vaughn alongside a stellar ensemble of veteran actresses.

What is Nonnas about?

Joe, still raw from the death of his mother, finds himself at a crossroads. Rather than retreat into grief, he channels his loss into an unlikely dream: opening an Italian restaurant in her memory. The twist? He staffs the kitchen not with trained chefs but with a group of spirited elderly Italian grandmothers — women with lifetimes of culinary wisdom and personalities as large as their recipes. As the restaurant takes shape, these women bring far more than pasta and sauce; they bring laughter, arguments, wisdom, and a whole lot of love. Joe must navigate the chaos of running a real business while being unexpectedly parented by women who refuse to let him disappear into sadness.

Cast & crew

Stephen Chbosky, known for The Perks of Being a Wallflower, brings a light, emotionally grounded touch to the material. Vince Vaughn leads with surprising warmth and restraint. The real draw is the ensemble of legendary actresses: Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Susan Sarandon, Linda Cardellini, Brenda Vaccaro, and Drea de Matteo all bring decades of screen presence to their nonna roles. Joe Manganiello rounds out the cast.

Context & significance

Food, family, and the grief of losing a mother are themes that resonate deeply across cultures, and Persian-speaking viewers — many of whom live far from their own extended families — will find a great deal of familiar emotional territory here. The dynamic of older matriarchs keeping tradition alive through cooking speaks directly to the diaspora experience, where grandmothers are often the keepers of memory, language, and recipe. Nonnas is available on K-Time with full Persian dubbing, meaning viewers can enjoy the jokes, the warmth, and the family chaos entirely in Persian without missing a beat.
