Roger falls in love with the boss’s daughter [Piper Laurie] and proves himself to be a comically incompetent milkman, and Breezy must cover up his mistakes.”

How can you tell an Italian is present?
     The duck wins.

From amctv.com:

St. Patrick’s Day (1999)

“In this warm family saga, Mary Pat Donnelly McDonough (Piper Laurie), the widowed matriarch of a big Irish-American clan, shocks her family when she announces she has pledged to give up alcohol and won’t be serving any at her traditional house party. What follows is a multi-generational story with many surprising revelations….”
