A clueless Italian film student on the loose in America is the premise of Paolo Virzì's picaresque comic romp My Name Is Tanino. Twenty-year-old Tanino (newcomer Corrado Fortuna) has a holiday romance with American tourist Sally (Canadian Rachel McAdams, recently seen in Mean Girls) in his Sicilian hometown, and mistakes it for something serious. He decides to set out for the New World, in search of Sally and the American Dream. What follows is a series of American misadventures as Tanino's illusions are shattered, his naivety lands him in plenty of trouble, and he meets up with his dubious idol, an underground filmmaker (Canadian Don Franks) living on the skids in New York City. Much of the film was shot in Toronto.
