first and do not be fool by my family name . my mother be full blooded italian and so i really know italian family and and i love mobster movie and even the funny one like this . for those people who have bad rap this film ( you know who you be ) you should have your movie privilege take from you because you do not know what good be . this be a damn funny and well style film . the fact that almost nobody be italian in it be part of the joke and so far a i can see . and what red blooded straight male could complain about spend an hour and something with the like of michelle pfieffer . puh lease . when i saw this film it win me over with the opening song by rosemary clooney who be as irish a one can get and but her pronunciation of the italian word in mambo italiano be flawless and set the tone of what be to follow perfectly . ( hell and i even buy the record the next day because of it . ) just the look of every garish thing in the apartment that i have personally see in my relative house and though not in the same place ( which i find hysterical ) sell it for me . this movie be like goodfellas on laugh gas . i just wonder why there be no burger world and what happen to the food these guy be suppose to get . my guess be the crew ate it . the fry be crispy . the shake be creamy . my mouth be water almost as much a it be think of the gorgeous ms. pfieffer . ( and i never trust clown anyway . ) and the three best thing about this film be mercedes ruehl achingly funny mob wife spurn and dean stockwell a her philandering husband tony the tiger and last and but definitely not least and the great mugging by oliver platt who should get more comic role . and note to myself represent find out where that black chick go . ouch . why do she work so infrequently . this picture be right alongside the great mob movie a it should be .
