Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're stepping into the gritty and vibrant streets of 1960s New York with A Bronx Tale.

Peter isn't a fan but the rest of us enjoyed the agonisingly awkward humour and some of us even thought there were quite interesting social and ethnic observations going on since the embarrassingly named he...
